Tonfa's would have made a lot more sense as Leonardo's weapon. Those dual katanas always stood out as waaaay more lethal than the other three.

New video, on mechanisms that illustrate the duality between the cube and the octahedron! Here's one of them: a linkage with fabric panels designed by Sabetta Matsumoto.

I don't know what it means but I could use it in a sentence in a way that would make my teenager yell at me

A 3D cityscape view of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, with all the parking lots highlighted in red. There is an enormous amount of parking lots covering a significant portion of the entire downtown area.

Here’s all the parking lots in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

These kind of maps are surprisingly simple to make. Here’s how:

I want to say it's how threading in Discord defaults to some weird inline thing instead of threads popping out. (But maybe that's something you can set client side?)

Is this buzz marketing for Flea's new album, Honora, out now, wherever you get your music?

Also, don't worry: my Kindle has a cover. I support authors.

That "if this book doesn't have a cover" message that was in all mass market paperbacks but it's on a kindle ebook

Oh man, opened an ebook today with this in the front matter and it took me all the way back to 1988 - none of my friends ever seemed to read a book with a cover since everyone had a relative who worked in retail who rescued "destroyed" paperbacks

an array of butter tarts on a tray, one with a bite out of it to display the proper addition to the gooey filling: nothing.

Sad that no one wanted to fight me on "second best". Maybe I should have declared that butter tarts are Canada's first best dessert, and see where that goes.

Are Nanaimo Bar trending? The Blue Jays are serving them in helmets with a sundae, so they should be. They are possibly Canada's second best dessert.

The first time I moved back to Canada for a job, I sought out a copy of this book. I made so many things from it when I was a kid. I made sure to share a copy of the "pictured on page" for the full "Company's Coming" experience

Cover of Company's Coming 150 Delicious Squares

Text of a Nanaimo Bar recipe

If you are making Canadian bar desserts, you need to consult Jean Paré

I am going to treat myself this week and hit "Unsubscribe" or "Report SPAM" on basically everything that lands in my inbox that is not from a human I know.

Like, no LLM here, just shitty mail-merge to email addresses of the form FirstName.LastName@host. Throwback spam. Of course the google suite AI helpfully recommends that I reply

I think you're right, it's a very small ask to increase the chance that people reply to get to the next slightly higher effort level of the scam

Screenshot of an email reading: Dear John, I am interested in Investing in your country United States. Please provide me with your private email address for priority detailed mail. Yours faithfully, Michael

It's like super refreshing to get this sort of old school spam.

Lately, I've been relaxing by printing and hand-painting models of my local mountains made with TouchTerrain touchterrain.geol.iastate.edu these are very satisfying to make and extremely cool looking in person - and chonky 8"x8"x2" and weigh nearly a pound each.

I play ukulele, does that count as a small overlap?

Because of this mornings lunar eclipse, today belongs to RA, god of the sun?

Many puzzle cubes lined up on labeled stands

Needed to complete my younger son's "cube station"

A 1x1 cube stand holding a joke 1x1x1 puzzle cube, and a 0x0 cube stand holding nothing

Thanks to 3D printing, my sons and I can now instantiate all the stupid jokes that pop into our heads

Half the time I secretly suspect that the "App" is just a web browser stripped down to just render one webpage.

Reading "Blueprints" by Marcus du Sautoy, and while I am not a fan so far this did jump out at me:

"Mathematics is far from being just a list of all the true statements we can discover about numbers. Mathematicians are storytellers [...] Not every story that it’s possible to tell is worth telling."
