I found a fascinating project called "The Secret Lives of Numbers," which used Google search results to catalog the frequency of every integer up to one million, visualizing numerical popularity and patterns across the web.
I shared a brief, playful update about browsing the Victoria's Secret website, jokingly suggesting I was up to no good. This post captures a casual moment of online distraction and link-sharing from my early blogging days.
I discovered a resource for secret Yahoo Messenger emoticons. It provides the specific keyboard shortcuts and codes required to reveal undocumented hidden icons and smiley faces within the chat application's interface.
I found the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, a massive database for looking up number patterns. Surprisingly, it couldn't find the simplest sequence imaginable: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
I found Google's new image search tool which indexes 150 million images. It’s a significant update for finding visual content, and I also shared an interesting search query for 'dead.long.live' to test the results.
I challenged 700 students to a prompt-hacking competition where they defended and attacked secret codes. While defenses held 97% of the time, I found that creative storytelling and poetry attacks were surprisingly effective at bypassing LLM security.
