I already have patents.lol, so I’ll let someone else grab this one.

So it’s not “modifying BASIC programs from the back of 3-2-1 Contact magazine” anymore?

An instructional page from 3-2-1 Contact! titled "Basic Training" and featuring a colorful illustration of cartoon animals engaged in inventing activities. There are references to a programming project named "Invent-O-Matic" for Apple II and Commodore computers, alongside sample code snippets.

Picked up @robertakwok.bsky.social’s “Lost in Curiosity,” you should too!

Good advice from your local bookstore.

The storefront of a colorful bookstore (Fair Arrow in Martinez, CA) featuring a sign that reads "READ BOOKS TOUCH GRASS." Green plant-like decorations frame the window various book covers in it. A sidewalk sign advertises Storytime.

I’m curious about this scam format. Is the idea that, if you were already scammed, you’d be a good target?

This makes me regret certain past purchases.

Reddit post titled: “Kobo and Bookshop.org - Delayed again,” the beginning of which reads: The Kobo FAQ has been updated and now the integration with Bookshop dot org says
"sometime in the future" instead of "sometime in 2026." This is the second pushback, it was already pushed back once from 2025.

When the cover looks like this, you know it's going to be banger.

A dark green hardcover book titled 'A Mathematical Introduction to Logic' by Herbert B. Enderton, with the title and author's name printed in gold lettering on the front cover.

I had to check, and… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A portion of the patent file history displaying “NON-PATENT DOCUMENTS@ that have been cited.

My "Please don’t murder my children" sign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my sign.

An orange and yellow sign that says “We're Walkin' & Rollin' to School,” “Look Out & Slow Down for Us”

There is a silhouette of a helmeted child biking in the left corner.

Surprisingly good parenting advice from the construction site.

A sign that reads: “Remember the 5 Red Flag events that lead to incidents:

- Deviation from Plan

Seems in violation of at least the spirit of 37 CFR § 1.11.

§ 1.11 Files open to the public.
(a) The specification, drawings, and all papers relating to the file of: A published application; a patent; or a statutory invention registration are open to inspection by the public, and copies may be obtained upon the payment of the fee set forth in § 1.19(b)(2).

I think the next chart helps explain; people are being assaulted at home by people they know. I wonder how much of that is partner violence.

Chart showing that “violent criminals usually know their victims, with the two largest categories being “known to victim, not family,” and “family member.” Those represent about 3 million of 4 million data points.

It’s a lot of work to carry your four-year-old at 10,000 feet, but the view was worth it.

In times like these, I appreciate supportive software like 7-Zip.

I just discovered that you can trivially replace the sleeping/off image on a Kobo. I’m pleased.

An e-reader displaying a graphic of a skeleton reading a book, accompanied by the text "ONE MORE CHAPTER." The device is resting on a person's lap, with denim jeans visible in the frame.

I love sculpture, and I think the first time I realized it was when I saw The Burghers of Calais in college. Walking among the statutes, recognizably human and yet distorted with anguish and starvation, was like a smack in the face.

The Burghers of Calais by Auguste Rodin in the Memorial Court of the Main Quad, on the Stanford University campus. There are six bronze casts of men standing in a grassy courtyard.
