This Tokyo subway poster warning passengers not to rush onto trains gets updated every year to match the Chinese zodiac. (This year it’s the year of the horse.)

I reread A WRINKLE IN TIME, I don't think I fully appreciated the core lesson of "your parents will fail you, but you know who will always love you? Those weird lesbians down the street" when was 10.
Though, clearly it has stuck with me.

This reflective acrylic sheet shows how 1980s illustrators were able to trace real-life objects on the computer. Once it was aligned, it reflected whatever was in front of it over the monitor's display, allowing artists to trace it in a tool like MacPaint or MS Paint. Simple, low tech and effective.
