You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

here's the lot of them so far. probably destined to be a set of stickers I think!
a little lineup of weird little guys, starting on the left with a pile of yellow dirt in a wheelbarrow with an unhappy face. Then a pair of legs in boots and orange trowsers topped by a sac filled with eyes, punctured by 3 arrows. after that is a figure with one enormous sculptural eye in place of a head wearing a lightly armoured yellow sundress. finally we have a rotund little fellow with noodly limbs, and a head that is a length of flaccid piping, one of it's hands is a morning star.

Today’s moment of calm comes to you from my studio. I see a wren in my peripheral vision, she flies from stem to stem. Distracted from my work by her movement, I am drawn into a moment of her life. A moment of grace. I feel my connection to this place, to the fields & hedges, to the birds & trees 🩷

#sticker
10x10cm square sticker of a dark grey hare blowing on a yellow horn that is being carried by two white mice. There is a cloud like steam coming from that horn and in it is a text "nobody is free until everybody is free". The background is bright red with black and blue stars.

If you'd like a brief intermission from the tragedies, take a minute to read about some lovely carpet.
Oregon’s second-most famous carpets will be back in the spotlight next month
The Oregon State Capitol’s carpets have inspired a popular line of carpet-themed merchandise.

If you need some extra distraction from *gestures broadly at everything,* Kilauea is here to help. The next eruptive episode, episode 41, looks to be kicking off right now! Fountains are starting to grow in height.

I've been leaning towards Tubi being the streaming service, and now I think it's official: they have Season 1 and Season 2 of one of the best science and technology comedy shows ever made… "Look Around You".

Thanks, Tubi. Thubi.

Look Around You
This unique combination of parody and homage to early 70s/80s British educational programs examines different scientific topics in each episode.
