Fascinating virtual look and visualization of what “Lenape” looked like before European settlers and the American people built Manhattan into what it is today. I like the thought experiment regarding how Manhattan would be different had Europeans colonized America from the West rather than the East.

Isn’t it crazy this is what Manhattan looked like only 400 or so years ago?

Interesting pricing structure for Cybart’s membership. $20/month or $200/year isn’t cheap. At all. But clearly it’s working. Perhaps a race to the bottom of the membership pricing barrel is the unhealthy thing to do.

There’s no way the rest of the provincial branches won’t cancel their seasons. We’ve been banking on this in our local leagues for awhile already, but were silently holding out hope. All hope looks lost now.

This is one of the few YouTube reviews that shows the lens attached to the camera and someone actually holding the camera with the lens. Also, I had never heard of “field curvature” before, but it makes a lot of sense.

This idea seems inevitable. Two additional thoughts. First, I wonder what this will do to property values in rural areas? In urban areas? And second, will this stir changes to tax law regarding deductibility of home expenses for standard employment income? Currently, these types of expenses aren’t really deductible.

Apple’s choice to continue on with this external keyboard material has to be for a reason other than aesthetics and durability. Why do they insist on this material? Mine not only has grease stains everywhere, it even has a chunk taken out of the right side. How that dent hit my Magic Keyboard is beyond me.

Here’s a great look into historical global pandemics. In reality, these are more elements of historical “artifacts” — these viruses never really go away and can resurface centuries later. Considering the death tolls of prior viruses, COVID-19 seems like a kitty cat.

This is, in a word, brilliant. And not some quickly thrown together project either. The design of the site, among other things, is awesome.

This was written in pre-COVID-19 days, but it stands more true than ever: delaying retirement is not only going to be a necessary idea, it’s going to be a healthy idea. Many, many people I see who retire young (say in their 50s) get very bored, very quickly.
