Daily Notes

I come across interesting stuff almost every day, but most of it doesn't warrant a full blog post. Instead, I collect it in daily-ish posts here.

This is also my secret to getting rid of open tabs: Just write two sentences about the tab into something that you can run full text search on, then close the tab. Try it!

Before you ask: This category being called "Daily Notes" means that notes can be daily (in contrast to other blogs, which have a "Weekly Notes" category), but if there's nothing interesting on that day, there won't be a post.

Today: Guild Wars Reforged — HOPE lost its venue — Gargron steps down — Android on Linux — trailers for Project Hail Mary and Wake Up Dead Man — the Billie Eilish wall in Berlin — John Oliver about "pedophile math"
