FailForward @FailForward@qoto.org
Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.

Gravitrax is just fun
I hope to never get too old to be bored by these things…
A reference to lean start-up way of doing things in another thread reminded me of this.
BTW, rakhim.org guy has some very good comics drawings. Recommended!
Infinitely zooming picture
This is fun. Infinitely zooming generative scene. It’s not the first one I encountered, but one of the most captivating. Worth storing a bookmark to brighten somebody’s day…
Drawing 3D illusions on paper
Youtube channel of a guy drawing hundreds(!) of interesting drawings including many 3D illusions on a sheet of paper. Very interesting. Tested, works 
.
Inspired by this toot.
When driving (especially long distances, being tired, etc.), sometimes you do things which only in retrospect you realise were not the safest manoeuvre to perform.
I often wondered whether people would be scared if they had an analogue gauge installed in their car dashboard which would be showing the current likelihood of them (or their passengers) being killed in an accident in the next, say 3 minutes.
I guess, some of us would get freaked out often enough to drive more carefully. or perhaps not drive at all.
When driving today, I was thinking about how comfortable we all are with being so close to death... just about half a meter away from a deathly hea...
ROKR wooden 3D puzzles
Very nice wooden cut-out puzzles to assemble. Some of their models are just to assemble, but some are mechanically functional pieces. I find it very exciting. This is a bookmark for future reference. Useful as gifts for my future self :-).
- ROKR Company page
- they have a Amazon webshop
