A lot of this was picked up during the previous long U.S. holiday weekend.
- A Brief History of the ATM and As cash becomes quaint, are ATMs on path to obsolescence? (via)

- A tip for catching process state changes.
- The Pacification of the Nerd.
- The forgotten joys of the screen saver. (via, of course)
- Erdos-Bacon-Sabbath Numbers. (via)
- Decalogue, by Jan Svankmajer. Svankmajer’s movie “Lunacy” is the most disturbing? distressing? film I’ve ever watched. (via)
- Speaking of which, Svankmajer was an influence on the Quay Brothers, whom I was talking about with someone else recently. Surely you’ve seen Street of Crocodiles?
- userland xnr jit.
- open-adventure, the original, ported. (via)
- Writing a Unix Shell. (via)
- Compiler Optimizations are Awesome.
- Tron B-Roll. Most evocative to those who remember computer graphics pre-texture-mapping.
