The hummingbird nest cam:
A tiny bird, nesting in a golf-ball sized nest on two eggs the size of tic-tacs. Occasionally the bird flies off, and several thousand people eagerly look to see if the hole in one of the eggs has gotten bigger. Or maybe mama has rotated the egg and it’s impossible to see if there’s any progress. Or, if we’re really lucky, a tiny flicker of movement at the edge of the growing hole.

Apparently, all the cool kids are doing it

I can think of worse things to do than to watch the entire series of TED talks. What an amazing group of smart, funny, inspirational people.
Here’s Benjamin Zander on classical music. Brilliant.
The inevitable Wordle output

It’s not of this site, though – it’s the output from my professional site.
Even though I feel like I’m probably the last person on the planet to do a Wordle, I know one or two of my readers might not know how to make their own, so if you’re one of the one or two, wordle is here.
