I also really liked the video about the empty virtual world and browsing through Moby's gratis track collection.
Leadership
The best culture book of 2025: The Power of Mattering [Podcast] - I am not 100% convinced, but it is on my to-read stack now.
TBM 351: The 4 Prioritization Jobs (And Why It Matters) - I would say they are very much related.
Engineering
How should Stripe deprecate APIs? (~2016) - most importantly, they don't use versioning, like many organisations.
Why is there a "small house" in IBM's Code page 437? - spoiler: we don't really know.
Urbanism
Putting the Trans in Transit with Katelyn Burns [Podcast] - transport infrastructure protects everybody.
When Darkness Fell: How Spain’s Blackout Revealed Architectural Truth - interesting idea, sadly without any photos from the blackout.
UK Ikea boss backs calls to pedestrianise Oxford Street as flagship store opens - "In the past two years, the number of vacancies and candy shops have dropped"
Cycling in City of London rises by more than 50% - in two years!
How to make cars disappear without banning them - about LTNs being quite successful.
Paris Proves the Power of Pedals: How Cycling Helped Cut Pollution in Half - infrastructure is making a difference again.
Random Science
The Age of Aquaticus [Podcast] - one example of fundamental science unexpectedly leading to big industries.
Unstoppable: Tu Youyou [Podcast] - the one example of traditional Chinese medicine being useful? With the help of a lot of science, obviously.
Signal Hill: Caterpillar Roadshow [Podcast] - lovely story about a wonderful Japanese kid doing science.
The fly-tipped sofa: how an abandoned couch changed a small village – in pictures - I love this. I guess the story would have been different with a fly tipped washing machine.
mobygratis - 500 free tracks from Moby! Free as in beer, and mostly as in freedom.
I Spent 30 Days in a Dead Game [YouTube] - there must be many of these around, unless they just shut down. Lovely video anyway.
demanda.ree.es - nice site to track the Spanish energy mix in real time. You can also browse back to the blackout.
How Kraftwerk’s ‘Autobahn’ altered the course of electronic music - I think this was the first electronic record I heard, my father used to play this. The influence on techno music was pretty big.
