Mar 4th: It's from a few years back, but "How much should you lie?" is a great piece about startup story telling and what's acceptable.

Feb 28th: Not only are the curling stones used at the Olympics (and pretty much everywhere) made by a single company in Scotland, they took the stones used in Cortina and cut them down into little commemorative mini stones (which unfortunately sold out right away)

Feb 28th: I didn't realize that the apple 'sleeping light' pulsed at a human breathing rate - I love these little details.

Feb 21st: I'm not great at the dialed.gg color memory/matching game, probably due to being color blind, but it's pretty fun!

Jan 30th: I've been thinking about Logo/Turtle recently and was looking for some good Scratch-like environments for kids to get started in (besides Scratch's own Pen extension). Trinket looks interesting (as an intro to Python), but Turtle Blocks is just what I was looking for. The official hosted version is extremely slow to load for some reason, but it's open source - you can host your own copy and add extensions.

Jan 21st: Nikita's critique of the Mac OS Tahoe icons is accurate and awful. The slow enshittification of everything.

Jan 5th: I haven't given it a try yet, but Inkarnate looks amazing for making D&D maps
