Hadn't heard of Chuffed before. First attempt at donating was refused by Apple card as "suspicious." Used a different card, all fine. FWIW.

I voted yes because I do celebrate; but I consider March 14 to be Lesser Pi Day. July 22 is Greater Pi Day, since 22/7 approximates pi to three decimal places better than 3.14 does.

Fascinating. Here is a genuinely, deeply decent person who embodies the spirit of open source and has no regrets that he did not become a billionaire off of his seminal work on WordPress.

The first 3 letters of “Sweden“ and “Denmark“ spell out “Sweden.“ The remaining letters spell out “Denmark.“

Enjoy these amazing images of birds in flight by Xavi Bou. He calls them “Ornithographies” and each one comprises 150 to 1,000 photos.

Just back from that rally. I'm guesstimating 5,000, which is less than was predicted before the political terrorist acts, but still pretty impressive.

“Despite the warning, an estimated 25,000 - 30,000 people showed up at the Capitol on Saturday afternoon, said Lt. Mike Lee, State Patrol public information officer.”

I wonder if a recruited Western asset of Russia knows his code name. When was the first tine in the last 38 years that DJT heard the name Krasnov?

@inthehands @vkc That link is 404 for me.

Got an unwanted email notification from LinkedIn. Hit the Unsubscribe link at the bottom expecting a one- or two-click unsub experience. What it took to unsubscribe from every flavor of notification, by actual count: 57 clicks.

@fahrni Wonder what @lisamelton would think of this idea?

Hey @aral

I captured an ephemeral tribute to you. It was just in the process of being defaced at the upper right.

@aral @ErikUden You probably know, but the site is not reachable now — various errors of the form "Unable to connect". Maybe it's just overloaded.

@aral Seen this? Someone is playing Life in there.

@aral I'm almost competent to read that code. Not quite maybe. I sometimes see the canvas clear to white in a single move. Is there a timer somewhere in there I missed?

Way more fun than it ought to be. @aral has created this simple thing.

@robpegoraro Airplanes whose walls don't fall off? (sorry not sorry)

@LoganFive Dentists ask the weirdest questions. "When is the last time you flossed?" Like bro, you were THERE.
