This has nothing to do with "us," but I would love to share it with you.

Arduino
Link here. Even the wiki entry is too "challenging" to read, but this snippet was interesting:
Arduino is in the news today because it was just acquired by Qualcomm.
As good as being there, today. Across the alcove from me, on the wall -- La Victoria Arduino. Wiki.
Ivrea is a city / neighborhood in Turin, Italy, the major Italian city in the northwest arm of the country:
"Piedmont" -- simply a fancy name for foothills.
I
think I became most cognizant of the "piedmont" when reading about the
clay in North Carolina some months -- maybe a year ago -- but time
passes quickly.
The Piedmont, one of twenty regions in Italy; its capital is Turin.
Going deeper into this rabbit hole. I recall Turin being mentioned early in the Covid-19 pandemic ... curious ...
Absolutely fascinating.
Oh, back to where I started, full circle:
This is not simply idle chatter -- well, I suppose it is -- I've been in Italy many, many times -- but I don't think I've ever been to Turin, but I've close. Wow, I miss Italy.
