AEONHomoCrustaceous
Have you read this: Aeon’s Homo Crustaceous? You must. By the super intellect Michael Garfield, join him for a look back at evolution, crabs and how might we evolve? It’s quite lovely.

2025SoFarTshirt
Well this year so far has been quite an uncertain ride. I needed a T Shirt to make me feel better. So I made one. And you can grab yourself one also over on the T Shirt Page. All proceeds of Ts (hoodies, onsies etc.) will be donated to Jason Kottke. In some small* way […]
CoverPicNewmansLab
This week’s Cover Picture comes from Cornell’s Alumni magazine Cornelliana: Stories from their history. I came across their post celebrating 75th birthday of the Newman Lab.

This was a lot of fun to learn about: A Short video from the BBC on English electrical engineer, Dame Caroline Haslett and the invention of the awesome plug. Yep, that thing Americans complain about and I find myself missing.

The first, The Art of Embracing Chaos includes a well placed concept from Paul Saffo about keeping a certain mindset while navigating the more dynamic parts of the Squiggle. The second post I saw was using the Squiggle […]

Lovely short video on LA visual artist Geoff McFettridge coming up with the Drip Series idea for Chocolate Skateboards. It’s like a little masterclass. Also check out the doc on McFettridge: Drawing A Life. (I’ve watched it multiple times…)
MschfMemeCoin
This is quite an interesting essay on art & drop collective MSCHF and Meme coins. “The success of a meme coin hinges on collective action spurred by resonance.” Read it here on dirt.fyi
Spaceattacks
This is quite fun, interesting and thought provoking. From the Ethics & Emerging Sciences Group at Cal Poly, the recent publication of a report on: “Outer Space Cyberattacks: Generating Novel Scenarios to Avoid Surprise.” It’s hard not to consider running a Design Fiction project to imagine these scenarios.
