Latest podcast episode has all of 1 listens. That's an all-time low. At least the blog view counts are going up. I wonder where those are coming from.

I told ChatGPT to write a strategic plan for Juneau Makerspace with just a few details. It spat out a 5 page document. While pretty accurate, one thing that jumped out at me was it said our mission included providing "high-quality" tools and equipment.
