Buttons make themselves. Thanks to Grok, you no longer have to code by hand. I just made 3 iterations of one button, successively refining the realistic quality, version by version. It only took 3 versions to get something similar to what I've had to code by hand.

Th essential thing to em is to use CSS and HTML to be optimally interpreted by the browser, as its its native language and this is lowest overheard, meaning its fastest. No more waiting for pages to load buttons.

Now the seamstress no longer has to make her own buttons, leaving her free to work on creating real pieces of work.

Part 1:

Here�s a simple summary of the letter from the Faculty Director of the Berkman Klein Center (BKC):
The letter introduces the BKC staff and Board of Directors, listing many names of people involved. It then explains what BKC does. Started in 1996, BKC studies how the internet affects society and how society affects the internet. Back then, the internet was new and different�it let anyone build on it without strict rules or big company control. For 28 years, BKC has worked in the public�s interest. They�ve tackled big issues, like how Napster challenged the music and movie industries, bringing together experts to find solutions. They fought over copyright laws (even at the Supreme Court), invented the podcast, and created tools like Creative Commons (which helps share info online) and Lumen (which tracks what�s removed from the internet). They also tried to help set up ICANN, meant to manage the internet�s core structure, but this was a mistake. Though BKC might have had good intentions, things went awry with ICANN, and it didn�t turn out as hoped.

The letter says the world is changing fast, and BKC needs to keep up while sticking to its values: honesty, humility, and openness. The internet isn�t new anymore�it�s a huge part of life, shaping how we connect, raise kids, run economies, and even keep democracies working. In 2024, BKC did a lot and now wants to grow its impact over the next 25 years. They�re asking for support to tackle big internet and society challenges with fresh ideas and energy. In short, BKC is proud of its past, excited for the future, and grateful for help as they work to make the digital world better for everyone.
