Today is International Lego Day! In celebration of this auspicious event today’s TDC asks us to
Take a photo and turn it into Lego by using an online editor such as Lunapic.
Here’s mine

Today’s TDC was a bit footery to do. It asked us to go to a site and play with the fonts, but the link to do that was a bit broken by the website itself, so I needed to work around it to complete this. I went to the Velvetyne page and typed my words ‘make art, dammit’ into the search bar, then clicked on the word ‘art deco’ in the results and then clicked on ‘get the fonts’ – ‘my fonts’ and followed the links to the page. That brought me to a page with my words displayed in different fonts on a page. At this point I realised that I should change my phrase, so I repeated everything using the phrase ‘make art deco art, dammit’ and then screenshot the one I liked (see above). All in all, fun to do.
For today’s TDC

Welcome to the Age of Clarity, or the Age of Balance.
You’re inquisitive, analytical, and maybe a bit too pragmatic, but not to a fault.
Your future is well-thought through and you have the data to back it up. In the future you got, Wikipedia users will be able to travel through knowledge using quantum computing. It will be fully, globally accessible for people with all different abilities. There will be a Wikipedia you can access with different senses — you will be able to smell knowledge.
The internet won’t even be the internet, it will simply be, as part of everything, everywhere. What will you be wearing? We predict some smart glasses and other wearable devices.
Today’s TDC is another riff on the Frankenpoem. Submitted by Alan (with a little help from his friends!) it asks us to visit Alan’s post and see what he did. Now, actually I don’t usually have many tabs open while I am at work apart from admin screens, but here’s what I found:
A quantitative data scientist

Observation:
real music matters
They’re right to be scared
