The 10 worst kinds of software developers. Do you recognize anyone? #6 The Protester (i.e. "Not my problem.") Bonus: how to decipher a job ad for a programmer. For example, "self starter" means "we have no process."
I'm a fan of Red Bull Air Racing so this video, 8 Disciplines of Flight Converge over Moab, is very cool.
Two of my faves come together in H.R. Giger's Mario.

The animated Bugs Bunny film What's Opera Doc? is consistently ranked as one of the greatest of all time (and rightfully so). Enjoy this documentary about its making, Wagnerian Rabbit.
Of the Oscar-nominations for best animated short film, World of Tomorrow looks fantastic.
Science:
- Mathematicians devise overly complex ways to slice pizza to ensure equal sizes for everyone. Didn't our mothers teach us how to do this? One person slices (in the usual way) and the other person chooses first.
- Is it any wonder kids avoid STEM education with government meddling like this?
- Computer Science For All
- Scientists rub their collective chin and wonder why we're the only animal with one.
- In perhaps the most under-reported and most significant science news in a long time, we're developing a quantum understanding of why one of the dimensions in our 4-dimensional world (3D space and time) only goes forward. In other words, there may be a quantum mechanics principle behind why we can move forward and backward in space but only forward in time.

I bought an Egg McMuffin a few weeks ago because I had heard that they went back to a toasted English muffin and and a real cooked egg. It was very good considering the cost.
I make a toasted bagel, egg, ham or bacon, and cheese "Egg Mcmuffin" for my kids/grandkids that is good if I might boast a little.
The old bagel. steak, fried onions and egg sandwich that McDonalds used to sell on the East Coast was my favorite fast food sandwich ever.
"Donut-ness" I like the explanations for that alone.
Egg McMuffins are virtually the only items I buy at McDonalds. And I buy them 2 at a time (down from when I bought them 3 at a time.)
Coincidentally, just last night we had breakfast for dinner featuring a mcmuffin-like sandwich.
