** CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR DEVS! **

Hi gang, what one or two things do you have as a developer/nerd/geek/technie that you think other folks like us would love? I want to build up a Christmas list for us all, to either suggest bits from to partners who like that sort of thing, or if you're buying your own nerdling a present, you have some ideas.

PLEASE PUT:
* thing/product/service/whatever
* why it's awesome
* link
* price

That way people can sift through easily.
Thanks! :)

Suddenly and viscerally obsessed with these letterforms. Why has that never occurred to me, and why is it the first time I’m seeing the idea??

(Font is ALS Lamon by Dmitry Lamonov.)

I don’t know if my kids got this somewhere or made it up, but I overheard this exchange when a friend of theirs asked why we have to do anything about slavery and Jim Crow now that those things are over

One of my kids (not sure which): “oh, we’re sorry we burned you sir, but we turned off the flames now, so please stop asking us to take you to the hospital”

And I’m sorry but I’m stealing that.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)
