Let’s Play CYBERPUNCH!

Want a new game that’s fun for the whole family? Play CYBERPUNCH!

Cyberpunch is “Slug Bug” for the ’20s. The rules are simple: While driving around, if you see a Tesla CyberTruck, you call out “Cyberpunch!” and punch your nearest loved one. How hard and where you hit is totally between you and your friends and family.

In my opinion, there’s just no better way to celebrate Musk’s innovation.

CYBERPUNCH!

Nice Place to Visit, But I Wouldn’t Want to Live There

Courtesy of my friend Mike Calore:

Null Island is the name of an imaginary place located at zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude (0°N 0°E), i.e., where the prime meridian and the equator intersect. The fictitious island, usually defined as 1 meter square, is often used in mapping software as a placeholder to help find and correct database entries that have erroneously been assigned the coordinates 0,0. Although Null Island started as a joke within the geospatial community, it has become a useful means of addressing a recurring issue in geographic information science.[1]
