Wow, thanks for sharing; that's a cool old docu!

I've been a happy user of tldraw as a whiteboard for ages. The offline bit is neat, but the killer part of this is that it also becomes a shared workspace that both you and an agent can easily edit + explore. Highly recommend firing it up, Develop -> 'Install Agent Skills', doodling something, and then asking your agent of choice to make some edits or riff on the idea.

There's a 'flow' slider I turn way down when actually painting with it, but I leave it high by default because that's the most "cool" feeling setting for a first interaction :)

Oooh yeah I forgot how incredible that was! They really put care into how the pigments mix and move. I used to love watching timelapses of people doing art in rebelle.

Ah yeah that's not ideal, fixed. I like the menu sticking around on iPad, but it now gets out of the way on smaller phone screens. Thanks for the reminder, I'd been meaning to do this! (Also, tldraw.com is fantastic for quick+easy diagrams and works great on mobile if you want a better whiteboard that isn't so art-focused :) )

I got some AI writing vibes too, but looking closer, I think it might be human-written (or at least partly so) - perhaps just picking up some AI conversation styles? FWIW, Pangram gives it a mixed but mostly-human score too. Maybe AI is not just changing the way we speak; it's changing the way we perceive all writing ;)

Nicky Bay is incredibly talented and prolific, my favourite macro photographer by far! Big fan of his spider photography, there are many cases where the only high-quality pics of some species will be his. I'm not as deep in the isopod world but this looks like an invaluable resource for people trying to ID + explore them.

This video/project is a masterpiece by a master. I love Tom's dead-pan style of humour. Make sure to expand the security warning and watch the video!

You can easily make them at home (source, I did last weekend!).

- Dry ice (mine came from something shipped cold)

- Dark piece of metal (I used a 3D printer hot bed) on top of dry ice to get cold

- IPA vapour (I poured some on a shop towel)

- Some transparent container to house it all - I found a glass display cube on the side of the road, fish tanks or Tupperware also work.

- Torch or something to provide side lighting

Very cool to see evidence of the particles zooming around us, can highly recommend.
