I have a weird schedule this week but I think I came up with sufficient links.

• Artifacting.  Understanding JPEG encoding will incidentally help understanding MPEG.
• Technical Marvels, the start, plus the Lebombo and Ishango Bones.  An ongoing series, so I’m interested on what they do with the Antikythera Device.  (via)
• diff turns 50.  (via)
• Micropolis, Simcity recreated in-browser and in-progress by one of the original developers.  (via)
• Random Demonic Incursion Generator.  (via)
• MicroMac, a Macintosh for under £5.  (via I lost it, sorry)
• Spreadsheet Assassins.  Almost my entire IT expense budget at my main job is “Monthly fees”.  (via)
• Mathematical Art by Henry Segerman.
• Adding a USB Port to the ThinkPad X1 Nano (the Hard Way).
