A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ I think you’ll like this picture of the world’s biggest and smallest Macs (an an original Macintosh) that Scott Knaster shared. [🔗 scottknaster.substack.com]
2️⃣ Robert Birming made a really cool calendar view for his Bear blog, so you can browse posts month-by-month. [🔗 robertbirming.com]
3️⃣ So, uh, someone made a compass that points to the Olive Garden in Times Square. And that’s all it does. And I don’t hate it. [🔗 theverge.com]
4️⃣ The Am Dash is a new punctuation mark introduced in two typefaces and is designed to signal that some text was written by a human — not em dash-happy AI. [🔗 theamdash.com]
5️⃣ Lynn Fisher has a handy mnemonic for remembering Markdown’s link and image syntax. [🔗 lynnandtonic.com]
6️⃣ This 14-year-old won a research prize for his origami prowess, which he thinks — based on the incredible strength-to-weight ratio of the Miura-ori fold — could be used for disaster relief. Incredible stuff. (Via The Good News Podcast) [🔗 businessinsider.com]
7️⃣ Louie Mantia makes an impassioned argument for processed American cheese — certainly the first I’ve heard in favor of it. It’s a convincing one, too. [🔗 burgerdigest.com]
