It was about 2 years ago that Jilles reminded me I had a flight case with gadgets too.
Back when I assembled it in 2018, I had big plans for showing private “cloud” container experimentation and gadget stuff at conferences. Then 2019 kicked in with rectum cancer.
So it was good that he helped me motivating to get it working again, especially as the time around assembling it so much fun and working on it brought back those days.
Here are the pictures:

[Wayback/Archive] https://plus.google.com/+Chrome/posts/AgtEDd7ngEJ “Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun”
This reminded me so much about the atom spin tables I wrote some Turbo Pascal code for in the late 1980s to help a university professor. Maybe one day, I will find that code back.
(note: I expanded the actual googl link because Google URL Shortener was killed in 2019 with links stopping to work in 2025, see [Wayback/Archive] Google Graveyard – Killed by Google)
The links:

A while ago there was this interesting question [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “do you draw diagrams on paper when debugging? what do they look like? I’d love to see examples if anyone is willing to share” that sparked quite a few diagrams I am still learning from.
Some thumbnails are below, but be sure to read them in the responses to the above tweet in full.

A friend of mine needed to figure out SQL Server deadlocks a while ago.
I hadn’t been doing stuff like this for quite some time, but remembered that unlike old SQL Server days, it had become relatively easy.
These links show you how:

You don’t have to be a web-developer to peek inside the underpinnings of web-pages. In fact what you see is very interesting, for instance from an OSINT perspective.
