Your annual reminder that I made a website called New Year Zone that counts down to the new year in all 38 time zones

If nothing else, it works pretty great for syncing your actual countdown at your new year's gathering

My thoughts on Elon's Grokipedia as a Wikipedia editor, and—because Grokipedia has copied nearly verbatim many of my Wikipedia pages—inadvertently, a Grokipedia editor.

Had a blast at the inaugural WikiGameJam this past weekend hosted by @wikimediafoundation.org @wikimedianyc.bsky.social! Great crowd of creative tech + wiki + game people, and a great chance to lock in on a project (which won the "Most Likely to Keep Me Coming Back for More" award!)

Adam Aaronson drank every cocktail: or, at least, all 102 listed in the International Bartenders Association's official list https://aaronson.org/blog/i-dr...
I Drank Every Cocktail
The International Bartenders Association, or IBA, maintains a list of official cocktails, ones they deem to be “the most requested recipes” at bars all around the world. It’s the closest thing the bartending industry has to a canonical list of cocktails, akin to the American Kennel Club’s registry of dog breeds or a jazz musician’s Real Book of standards.
