“Planning your flight, hotel and vacation activities across multiple tabs? Gemini in Chrome can help you consolidate that information into a single itinerary to take the stress out of your travel plans.”

Making fifty TIC-80 carts in a weekend Ever since I read about the Make 50 of Something technique in Vi Hart's blog post about Fifty Fizzbuzzes, I wanted to try it for myself! Creating 50 of, well, anything, in quick succession seemed like...
