This new site Invisiclues appears to be a labour of love of one person and promises to be “dedicated to (1) archiving historical Infocom-related artifacts -- InvisiClues, of course, but also magazine articles, marketing material, packaging, artwork, literature, and the games themselves -- and (2) making the archives available in an enjoyable format.”
Quite a lot of material there. Thanks to Andrew Plotkin on Mastodon for linking to it on his post here
An ongoing series of interviews with the people who have created the fantasy UIs for movies and shows over the last three decades: background, experience, inspirations, goals, technology, process etc.

I wanted a simple way to make a fun background for my desktop, and I found it! I used the pattern generator and highly recommend messing with it and the gradient maker. Please check it out just for the UI, it's awesome.
I attached the hexagon background I made.

Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address.
If you give the address "[email protected]" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing.
Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label ([email protected]), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human.
Your "bare address" ([email protected]) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is [email protected].)
Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.
