Learn how to create soap by combining specific oils with sodium hydroxide. This guide explains the fundamental chemistry and proportions needed to produce high-quality soap at home using common ingredients like lye and fats.
Explore the breakthrough in chemistry that allowed for the creation of Zubbles, the world's first colored soap bubbles. These bubbles use special dyes that disappear upon contact with surfaces or air.
I'm trying Mozilla because its native SOAP support lets me build pages with dynamic Google and Amazon content. By using JavaScript to make API calls directly, I can create these features without needing a back-end web server.
I’m sharing a link to XMethods, a directory for discovering publicly available web services. It’s a helpful resource if you need to find and integrate various SOAP or XML-RPC interfaces into your applications.
I explored diverse topics this week, from archiving software and NFL play-by-play data to the myths of learning styles. I also learned about Primo Levi’s chemistry analogies and how to use the HTML accesskey for keyboard shortcuts.
I discovered new CLI tools like fselect and xxh, explored modern HTML attributes for mobile UX, and reviewed books on neuroscience and oncology. I also learned about Anthropic's custom skills and European day-fine systems.
