I found a chess set designed by Karim Rashid that is identical to a single piece I photographed recently. It confirms the origin of the minimalist set I encountered and highlights his distinctive industrial design style.
I examine the 2001 reports and rumors suggesting that the reclusive chess legend Bobby Fischer may have returned to the game to play anonymous, high-level matches against grandmasters on the Internet.
I highlight the release of the swivel-arm iMac G4 designed by Jonathan Ive, linking to Apple's official product page and a satirical infographic from The Onion regarding the computer's distinctive new industrial design.
I read 51 books in 2025, primarily using AI summarization to process 44 titles in a single week. My highlights include Bert Hölldobler’s The Ants and Brandon Sanderson’s Wind and Truth, alongside deep dives into biology and psychology.
I explore how games like Baba Is You, Chess, and Mini Metro build mental muscles for the AI era. I found that manipulating in-game rules teaches meta-level thinking and helps me view complex systems as changeable.
I tested ChatGPT against Stockfish to measure its chess strength. By prompting it to analyze moves specifically, GPT-5.5 defeated Stockfish Level 6, suggesting a FIDE rating of approximately 1600 despite no specialized training.
