description: "Six things that run in a browser with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for — an elevator simulator, a ride round the Yamanote Line, a peer-to-peer client that shares nothing, two terminal games, a reverse Minesweeper and a reading room."
blurb: "Six browser tabs that ask for no install, no account, and no more than curiosity."

> Every one of these opens in the tab you already have: elevator scheduling running live at 25×, a sixty-seven-minute loop of Tokyo with nothing to score, a nineties file-sharing client wired to your own music folder, two terminal games about real machines, Minesweeper played in reverse, and a reading room with a shortcut on every control.

description: "The week's shortlisted finds that never landed in a themed bundle: a Dhaka wholesale market, a 1981 anthology on the self, a light meter for your body clock, a 3D-printed gearbox, a Steamboat Willie deck, a Mac control surface, a bird game and an etymology map."
blurb: "Seven days of finds that never found a theme — caught here before they slip out of view."

> This week's catch — the shortlisted finds still without a themed home, gathered so none slips out of view: a market that runs hardest at 2am, twenty-seven essays that argue with each other, an app that reads the light in a room, a gearbox published with its failures, a deck of public-domain mice, a Mac control surface, a bird game and a map of where words came from.
