Still capture from a movie. Two actors (Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles) in front of a bookcase. A large yellow catalog with "McMaster" lettering on the spine can be seen on the bookcase.

I always thought it would be fun to add gambling to @marcos.ac's metromadness.nyc concept.
I am just tickled by bahn.bet, where users can bet (fake money) on German rail delays.
It’s time to reassess what Chicago does with its vacant land, especially when we are the middle of a housing crisis.

Reading this post about a font that replaces numbers with monastic numerals gave me an idea. Use ligatures (as this font does) to replace instances of "Nike", for example, with the logo for the company.

I took to the web to find the model of car the protagonists drove in the 1998 movie RONIN. I did not expect to find a list of every. single. car. in the movie with associated screen captures.

Just ran across this metal band logo map/visualization: renecutura.eu/metalvis/
Map by Bellingcat showing the potential helicopter path using three helicopter flight videos shared on social media and satellite imagery.
The US military conducted an operation on Jan 3 to capture President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela. Bellingcat geolocated videos of helicopters involved in the raid, piecing together potential movements of the assault force
Super cool. Lately I've been thinking about different kinds of data visualization and this just blew me away.

Update: they fixed it. Interesting that a wildcard certificate is used for the root domain and a separate certificate is used for the www sub
Ah, but www.honda.com is fine.
Random, but kind of interesting that honda.com has an expired TLS cert

I'm rarely in the mood to play an entire game of chess, but I like the little puzzles on dontblunder
. @aaronpierron.com just launched dontblunder.com, a super cool site for getting better at chess.

It's a chance for people to really use their creativity. You see people's personalities come out. People experiment.
New York is the best city for Halloween, too. You'll see a Dracula on your morning commute. You'll definitely see a drunk Spiderman on the L train late at night.
Halloween is the absolute best holiday. First of all, it's not religious, so there's no obligation to travel to celebrate with family. Especially because it's not religious, it doesn't matter when it's celebrated. Halloween basically lasts for 10 days.
