While it may not be driven by a LEGO computer brain, The Hedgehog by Andrea Lattanzio still means business. This tank definitely gives Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes, with side turrets and a villainous-looking driver. Building in a single color like dark gray can be a risky move, but with plenty of dynamic textures, shadows and exposed studs help to break up the monotone. Instead, the build is alive …

Everyday, there is so much stuff (books, podcasts, long-from articles and blog posts, films, audiobooks, comics, music, games, tv shows, etc.) I want to spend time absorbing. Every. Day.But time and my attention are not unlimited. Both are finite.So I’ve got to make choices about what gets the time and attention that I do t need to invest in work or parenting…I’m going to assume you (whoever you are) are …

[Apparently, it IS the size of your supercollider, not just how you use it.] Not content with a 17 mile tunnel to use in smashing particles together, the folks at CERN are now planning one over 50 miles in length. [T]he proposed supercollider will be three times the size of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The new machine, dubbed the Future Circular Collider (FCC), will allow scientists to smash particles …

Last year, cherry red kept popping up in outfits — cherry red socks, cherry red sweaters, cherry red lipsticks. This spring? Baby blue is the accent color of the moment, and I love how soft and calming it feels.… Read more The post The Accent Color This Spring appeared first on Cup of Jo.

Nicholas Blake was the penname for Cecil Day-Lewis, and I don’t think it is stretching credulity too much to regard today’s mystery under review, as a story which was rooted in or at least inspired by Blake’s own experiences. He was a publications editor in the Ministry of Information during WW2 and this setting is replicated in the story under the name of Ministry of Morale. Moreover, in this book, …

The humble LEGO sausage element (33078) has been around since 1998. But is there still untapped yumminess there despite being so long-lived? Personally, it’s one of my favorite oddball parts with a wide variety of uses. Yet, I don’t think I ever actually used it as a sausage, hot dog, or other tubular meat stick of your choosing. I find it so much more interesting. At its heart, it’s really …

It’s been a while since I’ve visited, but I think back on my three campaigns in the world of Sleeping Gods with nothing but fondness. I could probably sketch a rough map of the Wandering Sea: that ivory hive on the map’s edge, the ancient spires stacked like dominoes rising from the seabed, the far-flung deserts. Ryan Laukat’s vibrant brushstrokes establish an adventurous tone, giving the world a sense of …

Hopefully no one saw that minute of f.ink downtime caused by me crashing the server after trying to browse to the end of the accounts list . . .

London, 2019.

In his seminal piece “The Market For Lemons”, renowned web crank Alex Russell lays out the myriad failings of our industry, focusing on the disastrous consequences for end users. This indignation is entirely appropriate according to the bylaws of our medium. Frameworks factor highly in that equation, yet there can also be good reasons for front-end developers to choose a framework, or library for that matter: Dynamically updating web interfaces …

Heather Knight and Amy Qin report for the NY Times (archived) on a problem that I wouldn’t have thought of but that’s obvious once pointed out: In San Francisco, where more than a fifth of residents are of Chinese descent, politicians have long taken a second name in Chinese characters. And any serious candidate knows to order campaign materials in English and in Chinese. But the city’s leniency for adopted …

I’m thoroughly convinced that email can be a meaningful method of communication, relationship, community, and entertainment in the future. I’ve always been proud of what my friend @[email protected] is making at @podnews.net so reading this article by Guy Tasaka encourages me in my little prophetic thought. I have a deep appreciation for newsletters. They say everything old is new again. Today, with an almost overwhelming amount of information we must …

Big thanks to Pher Engi of Australia for sending this along! Just spent a couple minutes researching koya gurih. It seems like it is a fried cracker which is pulzerized and then added to soups. I’ve run across this before – years back. Let’s give it a go! Indomie Rasa Soto Spesial – Indonesia Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. …

Do these real meaning? I have no idea. This is our current rankings for the US in our categories. Our other podcasts don’t rank as high. Usually I look at these to see who is spending on promotion and to get a sense of what other people are working on. These ranking also illustrate that there are very few independent producers left.
