I encountered a rather fun article yesterday concerning responding to kids. The author suggested using game theoretic ideas to respond to children’s protestations of unfairness.
I thought it was a well thought out article and worth a read.
Have a lovely Sunday.

As you are probably aware at this point, a new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer was released. It is, naturally, a fairly decent piece of cinematography (from what I can tell.)
However, it does have what may be extensive spoilers.
One thing I found interesting was how much the trailer music sounded like something I would expect from Two Steps from Hell, rather than typical Star Wars trailer music.
I am also surprised about how much family background we are given about the main character.
However, the poster does look rather fantastic.
The movie does seem to have potential.
Have a lovely weekend.

I was recently informed that Toyota created a small “companion robot”. The footage is rather adorable.
One thing I found quite fascinating, however, is the different emphases given in different videos.
The one above, for instance, has an implied emphasis on “driving”, and thus has a bit of a commute and travel companion emphasis. A different one, however, has a stronger emphasis on the general companionship the robot can provide.
I found the differences interesting.
Enjoy, and have a lovely day!

I was recently informed that there is a website devoted to amusing photos of some of your world’s animals.
I am incredibly impressed by the photos some people are able to take. It must take tremendous skill to capture images so perfectly!
Enjoy.

I recently encountered a video of a professional animator discussing the potential future with 3D drawing. He also draws and discusses animating.
I found it worth watching.
Enjoy.

I was visiting Facebook yesterday, and encountered an interesting linguistics article. It discusses the surprising ambiguity of language associated with the word “no”. It also discusses some of the other surprising ways that “no” has been used.
Enjoy.

In part to continue The Webmaster’s current theme of “Halloween”-type posts, I thought I would share a rather well done song.
One of the things I rather appreciate: The song may be about a vampire. It may be about an agoraphobic, nocturnal person with depression. It might be both. The lyrics are delightfully ambiguous enough to allow you to decide.
For the sake of this post and the theme, I will be interpreting it as a song about a vampire, and thus it fits the theme of Halloween.
Have a lovely day.

Thanks to YouTube, I recently encountered evidence of a remarkable, mesmerizing phenomenon: Ferrofluid lamps.
These lamps are not dissimilar to the Lava Lamps that at one point were quite popular in your world. However, instead of relying upon heated wax to form shapes, ferrofluid “lamps” (or sculptures) utilize magnetic properties. The results are rather amazing.
Enjoy, and try not to be too sucked in.

I was amused to discover that Firefox is conducting what they refer to as a “census” of their users.
It does not technically qualify, as it is an opt-in survey, and thereby does not guarantee that every person who uses Firefox will take the survey. However, it is still an amusing survey, with questions such as “how many unspoken languages are you fluent in?” and “What is your Hogwarts house?”
They clearly tried to appeal to some of the fanbases. They also clearly missed a fair number of quite vocal ones (for instance, they missed the “super” part of “SuperWhoLock“. Actually, upon further reflection, they appeared to ignore the existence of Tumblr users altogether, despite acknowledging the Reddit userbase.)
Regardless, it is amusing and worth taking. Enjoy.

I recently encountered a website devoted to a rather amusing artist. This artist inserts monsters into everyday transportation life. The drawings are rather adorable, and in some cases hilarious(ly disturbing).
I wish you a monster-commute-free day.
