#TIL The HTML <blink> tag was just a joke. Netscape got the idea from a chat, "what special effect is possible for browsers on a Unix terminal?" Lou Montulli (Lynx author) joked "blinking text". Another implemented it as an Easter egg. And everything went out of control later...

> [...] blinking was constrained only to the UNIX version, but it didn't take long [...] to spread [...]. I remember thinking that this would be a pretty harmless easter egg, that no one would really use it, but I was very wrong. When we released Netscape Navigator 1.0 we did not document the blink functionality in any way, and for a while all was quiet. Then somewhere, somehow the arcane knowledge of blinking leaked into the real world and suddenly everything was blinking. "Look here", "buy this", "check this out", all blinking. Large advertisements blinking in all their glory. [...]
> In the end, the thing that I am truly sad about, is that Lynx never did get to blink.

Some were asking about the sit/stand desk that I built last year. Here are some images of how the epoxy pour went. Over a year later and I still LOVE it.

More baby bird news. It's still alive here on a Freiday morning. Going to make some calls while I'm on the clock working- see who I can give the baby bird to. I didn't see a nest out there this morning, but did see one of its dead siblings at the base of a tree.

Was working on my car tonight when I saw the baby bird from earlier today (in the front yard, in the grass) hiding under one of the wheels. Tonight is cooling down and a bit windy. I would sleep fine in this weather, but no idea about a baby bird.

I stopped working on the car and put the baby bird in an old pet container with some dry grass from the yard as a improvised nest.

I'll feed it tomorrow and see about sending it off to the right people who can take care of it until it's ready to go back home.
