@hockeyviz.com I found some beautiful data viz for you

The TV Tropes wiki is one of the most densely-linked and addictive places I know on the internet. How do you write a TV Tropes lemma, and how does the site keep its community on track? I'm reading their contribution guidelines, and it's really interesting!

Doing a https://pi.dev deepdive today to learn more about its design and features. I expect to get more questions about creating custom harnesses for specific sectors/verticals in the near future... https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-30-pi-coding-agent/

I want weirder representations of "readings"—the trace/artifact produced by a reader's interaction with text(s). Here playing with a cut-up "poster-ification". Cumbersome in many ways, but interesting.

After encountering some particularly bad AI slop today, I'm reading up on trust on the web. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2023/12/ai-and-trust.html

Reading Richard Hamming's The Art of Doing Science and Engineering. I'm only at 5%, but I've already read multiple thoughts that are helpful for interpreting the AI-driven changes to society.

Interesting data. But where is the cohort of co-founders without any official degree? I can't imagine it's 0%. https://www.reveliolabs.com/news/tech/who-is-building-europe-s-unicorns

Next time someone asks me what Datakami does, instead of mentioning the Ghostbusters and the SWAT team (my favorite metaphors), I'm going to tell them that we are mountain guides. When founders have arrived at Seed Funding Base Camp, we can use our experience to get them to Series A Camp.

Apart from "goblins", "seams" and em dashes, Claude has ruined "actually", "honest", and "genuinely" for me.
