Laura E. HallHappy Friday, and welcome to my weekly collection of good links, a roundup stuff I enjoyed over the past week!
Today’s links include DVD extras, custom book covers and surprising octopus pals 🐙📺🎥
1) This YouTube channel posts DVD extras like bonus features and behind the scenes featurettes 📀📺🎥

I learned so much about the art of visual storytelling from watching things like this and listening to commentary tracks, I really miss things like this
(Let me know if you find a particularly great one on there!)

2) Make your own Penguin Classics book cover with ease using this generator tool 🐧📕
3) Love this gif shared by nixCraft that illustrates counting in binary in a cool tangible way 0️⃣1️⃣
4) Octopuses are usually solitary and incubate their eggs for at least 5 years, sometimes up to 13 (!)
So it’s exciting that scientists have found “the largest aggregate of octopuses known anywhere in the world, deep-sea or not”, where octopuses are hatching their eggs in less than 2 years 🐙

5) How close can you get to painting an approximate copy of da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in 60 seconds? Find out with this fun Clone-a Lisa game 🎨🖼️

(My best so far is 72%, what’s yours?)

Helvetica Blanc@lauraehall I got like a 61% and am SHOCKED it was that high 😂
@helveticablanc if you play enough times it eventually devolves into strategic blob placement, hahah

acm@lauraehall I can barely shade in the masses in that amount of time, let alone do any detail!!! 😱 😆
appzer0 - Libertadmin@acm_redfox @lauraehall i got 46% for a childish mess of blobs, incredible.
Trevor Gunter@lauraehall Something was really confusing me about this, because it's seemingly contradictory to everything I've ever read about octopus life cycles. It's rare for an octopus to even *live* five years to begin with, so spending over five years brooding seems impossible.
I think the 5-13 years stated is an extrapolation of how long it *should* take at 34.9°F based on how long it takes at higher temperatures, not a statement of how long it takes for the eggs to hatch in normal circumstances.
