This week in 1988, Robert Morris unleashed his eponymous worm | www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...
37 years ago this week, the Morris worm infected 10% of the Internet within 24 hours — worm slithered out and sparked a new era in cybersecurity
The Internet contracted worms a year before the World Wide Web was even a thing.

Chrome browser releases in a 4-week cadence powered by Blink engine which shares the browser release version. So I'd estimate that in November 2028 (180 weeks), we'll see the release of Blink 182, finally.

How do I build an accessible color palette? Well, I usually start with my default color.
Then, I'm trying to make sure that I can always use the dark shade, with a light shade, with enough contrast for text on background (4.5:1).
I used to do this manually, but, a color ramp tool / plugin can help!
