🔗 Finds #22

Hello everyone, and welcome to issue #22 of Finds — the articles, sites, and corners of the web I bookmarked this week:

📄 Articles

perry.qaLearn Morse CodeA skeuomorphic radio set — speaker grille, three knobs, one big red button — that teaches Morse by making you key it. Chapter one hands you the button (or the space bar) and asks for a dot before it explains anything else.

techxplore.comWhy roundabouts are safer than intersections — Transportation engineer Deogratias Eustace on conflict points: a roundabout has far fewer of them and forces everyone to slow down. The FHWA credits them with cutting serious and fatal crashes by 90% where they replace stop signs — the US had 356 in 2000 and has over 10,000 now.

🌐 Websites / blogs

liamcobb.tumblr.comLiam CobbThe illustrator's Tumblr: flat two- and three-tone scenes drawn in a soft hand — a man eating a doughnut at his laptop, an old woman alone with a slice of watermelon in a green diner booth. Quietly uncanny, and he's drawn for The New Yorker.

📚 From Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.orgSecond Carib War — Saint Vincent, 1795–97: the Caribs and their French allies against the British. Their leader Joseph Chatoyer was killed five days in, and the British finished it by deporting 4,195 survivors to the bare islet of Baliceaux, where about half died.

📺 Completed

myanimelist.netVinland Saga (Seasons 1 & 2) — 9/10 — Wit Studio then MAPPA on Makoto Yukimura's Viking-age manga. Season one is Thorfinn chasing the man who killed his father; season two is Thorfinn enslaved on a farm, clearing stumps. Almost no other show would dare swap its own genre like that.

en.wikipedia.orgSpider-Man: Brand New Day — 7.5/10 — Destin Daniel Cretton's reset: four years after Strange's spell erased Peter Parker from everyone's memory, he's an anonymous New York Spider-Man whose powers start changing on him. Deliberately street-level, with Jon Bernthal's Punisher along for it.

📺 From YouTube
