I spent a good part of the last month down with the flu. I'm several weeks past day zero and still waking up with a frog in my throat, although it's a little better every day. I hope you and yours are healthy. This influenza A variant that's going around is no slouch.

I've been collecting tabs and it's time to dump them here so I can close them.

  • Strudel.cc is (perhaps yet another) music programming platform. I remember playing with Sonic Pi ages ago, but I like that Strudel seems to be browser-centric.

  • I did about 3 days of last month's Advent of Code before getting stumped/distracted.

  • I haven't been really into desktop flight sims in ages, maybe ever really. But the open source Flight Gear piqued my interest again.

  • Look at these illustrations by Ninn Salaün

  • This might be niche, and maybe you don't need shampoo to bring you joy, but maybe you do..

  • Wig Shop continues to be a place I browse regularly. Comic shops and comic news sites are absolutely clogged with cape shit, and I have little to no interest in that. But comics as a medium still brings me great joy, and Wig Shop is one of the best online purveyors of the good stuff. Or at least the weird stuff.

  • I love weird little online mags. Foofaraw seems like a great weird little online mag.

  • Although I've been leaning back toward traditional tools lately, I still dabble with Procreate. I've wonderered if anyone's had success with any accessories like the PenPad? I'm tempted.

  • I love a good tutorial, and I love a good web map tutorial best.

  • Should I order a $120 Asaro head or ask someone I know with a 3D printer to make one for me?

  • f*te seems like a cool kids version of Letterboxd? Here's a list Jessa Crispin made for people that enjoyed No Other Choice?

I've been playing around with the formatting of these link dumps. Do folks like seeing the full URLs when sharing links? Or are hyperlinks OK?
