OMG! A 26x26 go board! 
Actually, it’s a 25x25 if you don’t mind playing INSIDE THE SQUARES!!!

I had read that QR codes were inspired by Go, but I never really looked into how they are generated. It was interesting to see the similarities.
| Go | QR codes | |
|---|---|---|
| playing area | comes in different grid sizes: 9x9, 13x13, 19x19, etc. | also comes in different sizes: 21x21, …, 177x177 |
| opening | corners first | position and alignment patterns in the corners |
| middle game | players begin to play towards the center | message gets encoded and occupies space on one side (expands towards the center) |
| endgame | fill in dame | fill in error correction squares |
| post-game | rearrange stones to make the score easier to count | flip some of the squares to make the QR code easier to scan |

This suggests the idea of using fake go games as an espionage means of transmitting information or instructions via QR codes.

Charts, data and marketing for a different game that is rising in popularity. Quite a lot of things to think about:
Yeah, the thumbnail is trolling the nay-sayers.

Good, because I never could get into watching WNBA until the first time I saw CC play. She’s a huge draw!
(and after watching the video I see I’m not alone)

That isn’t relaxing, is it?
But I guess it could be thought provoking.
I’m asking myself right now what went wrong with social entertainment.
Some days ago I was looking at this one.

Except for the presence of some interesting parts for my job, my question was the same: social entertainment is f###d up!
Oh, well, that’s not a question.
But that’s a thought anyway.
(*) It seems I can’t get to have a preview thumbnail

If I was in the same room as them it would not be relaxing, but I found the video light hearted. A nice combination of slap stick and informative that I found relaxing. Maybe not calming or soothing or tranquil… but relaxing seems fitting enough.

Can’t say I understand holograms, but this video demystified a lot about them for me!
