MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Links the homepage reference row to forrest.warehack.ing/mims/ — the classic
hand-drawn Engineer's Mini-Notebook series. Custom spiral-notebook SVG with a
sketched resistor zigzag, in warm amber to sit apart from the teal IC chip.
