* I watched Rick Astley - Never Gonna Shoot Your Stars, by Rick Astley:

* I read about the history, usage, and acceptence of "they" (especially as a
  singular pronoun). It was pretty interesting seeing the results of polls.
  (Apparently grammarians born before 1945 were much less accepting of the
  usage as those born past then!)

  (This all spawned from looking up the definition for "is", which lead to the
  definition of "be", which derived from "beon" (old english), which lead to
  wikitionary, which made me curious about its entry on "they". Whee!)

* I wrote a few examples for http-music. I effectively discarded the guide;
  but it still exists on the internet, and I might use it, eventually. It just
  doesn't fit well in a man page.

* I made http-music work with local files. Ha. Ha.

* I properly figured out a little hack done with one Submachine saves across
  multiple games:

  Could the backpack in Submachine 10 be used as a "dropoff", to stash items
  you don't need immediately, even from different games? The backpack can't be
  used in any game but Sub10, of course, but if you go in Sub10 maybe it'd be
  possible to use the backpack for general item storage. Who knows?

  Also, could you steal the tiles from Sub4 and bring them into Sub1?

* I watched Brexit: Hard vs Soft, by piffle:

  The whole video is nicely made, but it seems awfully one-sided. I left a
  comment on it asking about the potential arguments for a "soft Brexit", and
  got a response to that. The video hasn't particularly gone viral, so it
  shouldn't be difficult to find my comment, if you're curious.
