The Value Equivalent of 6000 Words
No Nonsense (2020), by Kees Moerbeek
The Orient Express is rusting away.
I adore botanical and zoological images, and now 150,000 of them have entered the public domain.
Imagine drawing everything you eat — for thirty years.
Also now available for public scrutiny, King George III’s collection of military maps.
And one non-image entry: Robin Sloan tells the story of how he wrote an iOS app for four people. Software not as an extensive restaurant menu but as a simple meal cooked at home for your family. It’s oddly touching.
