Really enjoyed this episode of Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out with Ira Glass... all of it is good but I've skipped ahead in the link to the point where Ira shapes and gives feedback on stories. Incredible to see how his mind works. https://youtu.be/EEAZXqlyY8I?t=2982

"Cistercian Numbers" are incredibly cool

It's a rare numeric system designed by 13th century monks

Each number is a based on a single vertical stick, with patterns you draw in all four quadrants off it -- top right, top left, bottom right, bottom left

A single glyph can represent a number from 1 to 9,999
