Back in 2009, I wrote one of my earliest Wikipedia articles on Mandazi, a form of fried bread from Eastern Africa. Now that I'm in Kenya for #Wikimania, I finally got to try it for the first time!

Fine dining in Istanbul
A Turkish restaurant sign that says "BALIK DÜRÜMCÜ MURAT USTA". In the middle is a photo of a man dressed like Mario from the Super Mario franchise, with a red cap marked "M", red shirt, and blue apron. The apron reads "Murat the Fisherman" and features a cartoon of Mario holding a fish wrap. An illuminated Turkish restaurant sign that says "HÜR SÜPER MARIO Restaurant."

Introducing WikiAsteroids, a classic arcade asteroids game powered by real-time #Wikipedia edits! ☄️

asteroids.wiki

Each edit on Wikipedia spawns an asteroid. The larger the edit, the larger the asteroid. A newly created article spawns an extra life, while a newly registered user spawns a powerup.
A screenshot from 'WikiAsteroids,' a browser-based game inspired by the classic Asteroids arcade game. The title 'WikiAsteroids' is displayed at the top in bold, futuristic font. The game screen has a black background with a green triangular spaceship. Floating around are asteroids with article titles such as 'Cyclura rileyi,' 'Mean Girls,' 'Private inventory,' and 'Ken (unit),' along with a powerup labeled 'User:WikiEditor.'

With WikiCredCon 2025 starting today, I had to design some wiki-themed Valentine candies!
Five valentine candies sitting on a rose. They say, "Edit me?", "Talk: to me", "citation found", "on my watchlist", and "you're notable"

I want to put a few Wiimotes into the WinRAR messenger bag and go play Super Smash Bros. Brawl with my friends
A messenger bag designed to resemble the WinRAR archive icon. The bag features three horizontal sections in pink, blue, and green, mimicking the stacked books of the classic WinRAR logo.

Enjoying the fact that the Sundance website developer log prints your name every time you resize the window.
A screenshot of the Sundance Film Festival website and its developer console log. The log shows repeating lines that say "window resized!" and "Kevin".

r/drone mods are tiirrreeeddd
/r/Drones temporary lockdown. We're currently experiencing a deluge of Stupid in the community due to some media hysteria, and I'm tired of playing whack-a-mole with all the idiotic posts. I'm shutting this place down for at least a week or until the malarkey blows over. **Please don't bother asking to be an approved user. You will only be ignored.** Message me your conspiracy theories and I'll ban you.

Departing Stockholm 🛫
An aerial view of a snowy landscape at sunrise. The foreground has a patchwork of snow-covered fields, forests, and small lakes. The horizon has a vivid orange sunset, transitioning into a layer of dark clouds and then a blue sky above.
