In February 1969, a 29-year-old Malzberg sat down at his typewriter and churned out Diary of a Parisian Chambermaid at a pace of 60 words per minute. — Read the rest The post

If you love ducks, gift yourself a quacking keyboard!

2 January 2025 @ 3:10 pm

I absolutely adore this hilarious keyboard that has tiny ducks instead of regular keys, and that quacks when you press each duck. The tiny ducks are made by a company called "Duckeys," which also makes this Guitar Hero controller and is apparently working on a

Tetrisweeper is two classic games that play great together

2 January 2025 @ 3:07 pm

The most surprising thing about Tetrisweeper is that it took so long for someone to think of it. Once you've played this mashup of Tetris and Minesweeper, it seems virtually impossible and completely obvious. Tetrisweeper looks just like Tetris to start, but as you play, a Minesweeper grid is overlaid on your placed tetrominoes, and your lines won't be scored until you also clear the mines. —

Apple TV+ is free this weekend and you should binge Harrison Ford in Shrinking

2 January 2025 @ 2:30 pm

Harrison Ford is indisputably a legend. Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Rick Deckard, and (sigh) Jack Trainer are all characters that are hard to imagine being played by anyone else. What is often overlooked, however, is how damned funny he is. Almost all of Harrison Ford's iconic characters have some humorous moments, but he has rarely ventured into true comedy. —

Mixbox simulates natural color mixing in pigments

2 January 2025 @ 1:00 pm

In painting apps, color gradients are calculated within abstract color models, apparently without any particular care for how humans see or what humans expect. If you've ever felt you could see "Photoshop colors" in the dull and stodgy hues of a digitally-colored comic book or illustration, it might well have something to do with that. —

The death stairs of Pittsburgh

2 January 2025 @ 12:45 pm

The Facebook group Death Stairs is dedicated to staircases likely to murder those who set foot on them. Though there is a variety of subgenres—consider ultramodernist glass stairs with no railings or risers, for example, or the DIY witch stairs of an amateur carpenter's first tiny house project—one source dominates the group's imagination: Pittsburgh. —
