welp this is going to change my life https://github.com/takluyver/nbopen (I like opening jupyter notebook right from the command line which has traditionally resulted in me having a bajillion different jupyter notebook servers running at any one time—this tool lets you start up a notebook *in an existing server running on your computer.* doing great so far in 2019 allison)

An interesting look back at the early days of social media & how conventions of blogs, likes, comments, followers etc. evolved. It's a round table discussion with people who built and ran LiveJournal, Diaryland and Open Diary in the late 1990s.

Enjoying reading this book for no other reason than curiosity and because I once saw Jon Ippolito giving an excellent talk here in Brussels.

Flat is a pure-Python 2D drawing library "for creating and manipulating digital forms of fine arts. [...] It grew out of the needs for generative design, architecture and art." exports to SVG and so easily embeds in a jupyter notebook (`display(SVG(page.svg())`). I have been looking for something like this forever, it's a little quirky but seems too good to be true
