One of the funniest juxtapositions ever: Now streaming on Disney. DISNEY! 😂
(When I was younger, this movie would have simply been called "p-rn." Now I guess it's the perfect thing to stream on Disney! Wow. Good thing ol' Walt isn't around to see this.)

Scientists are lying to you: Pi is not 3.14… it's just 4. The Roman Empire used 4 and they got by just fine. (Other than that awkward decline and fall part.) Trust your gut: Does pi FEEL irrational and transcendental? You know The Truth. Don't be a sheep; just follow me and use pi=4.

If you're as fascinated by various alphabets from around the world as I am, I encourage you to check out the work at Endangered Alphabets. If you're REALLY into it, then check out what Tim Brookes is doing with the Script Keepers Network:

How long has this feature been in Excel? Have a picture of a table, but not the data? Copy the picture (or take a screen capture), go to Data tab in the Excel ribbon, choose "From Picture". Excel converts the picture into data.
Thank you Richard Goring for this tip, during The Design + AI Summit.

Seattle area reported power outages since last night. I have a feeling it might be a while til the lights turn on.
