I don't remember who exactly, but I definitely remember a podcast with either @imyke or @jamesthomson discussing the length of the UK coastline. So, I of course thought of them when I heard this podcast: https://overcast.fm/+4kN2J_no
Engines of Our Ingenuity 3294: Coastlines — Engines of Our Ingenuity

Episode: 3294 How the length of coastlines depend on how you measure them. Today, how long is a coastline?

@hemisphericviews and to make @martinfeld feel better about the name in the cafe thing, I somehow get called Nathan when I give my name in coffee shops and the like. I've resorted to giving Tony as my order name to reduce the confusion.
@hemisphericviews regarding episode 102, the chair is the HAG Capisco chair. I have the same one and love it, even if I never sit backwards on it.
@mercury I would love it if the text widget on the Lock Screen had a version that showed today's high and low temp in addition to the current temp. Something like this:

Four times more than the second-place Christmas loser.

*I* did that.

(Sorry.)

@jsnell you've linked before to where you buy the rainbow logo sticker you put on the lids of your MacBooks, but I can't find it (searching for "Jason Snell six color Apple logo sticker" or some variant thereof gives me lots of Six Colors links 😂). Would you please share again where you buy them from?
