Got an empty package in the mail with a packing slip for a
pi zero... I chalk it up to holiday ordering. In any case,
they claim they've sent a new one, though the tracking
number shows that it hasn't arrived at the USPS yet.

Time will tell. Luckily, Amazon also lost my micro-SD card
that I ordered, so I couldn't have started working on it
anyway. Amazing how things work out :) Maybe the universe
is trying to tell me something.

Speaking of the universe, I read the first few chapters
of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" to my children
the other night, which had them all laughing quite
hysterically, save my 9yo. I have to say though, there
are quite a few alcohol references right off the bat in
that book, which I hadn't quite considered. Perhaps I'll
wait and let them read it on their own at some later
date.
