I still use a screenless graphics tablet, an Intuos Pro PTH 660, not because it's the right tool to use in 2025 but because it's fine and it hasn't died yet. But when it croaks, a Cintiq or something like it such as a Huion Kamvas or XP-Pen is surely on the cards. — Read the...
Using variation selectors, you can conceal messages of arbitrary length within emoji, or indeed any unicode character. 'To be clear, this is an abuse of unicode and you shouldn't do it,' writes Paul Butler. 'If your mind is wandering to practical use cases for this, shut it...

I swear I've watched this video of Patrick the potbelly pig running to get his breakfast at least 30 times already (and counting), and it never fails to make me laugh. In the video, you can hear Patrick's human, Emma, calling his name, which signals to him that his breakfast...
The Alps? Too cold. Japan? So last year. Hawaii? They don't even want us there, for good reason. No, when you're planning your big vacation this year, there should only be one name on your list: the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park of Gumption, Texas. — Read the rest The...
