site: bucket find/ folders by capture date + 2026-05-09 capture (67 finds)

Migrate every find from src/content/find/<slug>/ to src/content/find/<year>/<month>/<slug>/ — all 289 existing finds moved into 2026/05/. The find content-collection loader gets a new leafSlug generateId so ids (and therefore URLs at /find/<slug>/) stay flat; src/lib/find-hero.ts switches to a recursive **/hero glob. Bundle items[], promotedTo/fromFind keys, /sources cross-refs, and category/tag pages all keep working unchanged. Skill docs (daily-finds, build-review, build-bundle, cluster-bundles), README, and CHANGELOG updated for the new on-disk path.

Also: 67 new finds from the 2026-05-09 capture run (Web Curios 8, MoMA 7, r/macapps 7, r/dadjokes 6, icanhazdadjoke 6, Wallpaper* Travel 5, Snow Peak 5, Kottke 3, Boutique Homes 3, etc.); felo-ergonic-screwdriver-set rolled back per editorial decision.

> Small backyard improvements stack quickly. A bird feeder with a camera in the eaves that names every species visiting your yard. A six-pack of solar lights that stay dim until something moves and then actually let you see. And the Felo screwdrivers — German, soft-handled, the household tool that's quietly nicer to hold than the version you've been using for a decade.

---
The apartment is a working designer's home, not a styled rental: 12-metre ceilings, a kitchen full of southern light, and antiques that arrive from estate sales in the Vendée mixed with European artisan pieces commissioned for the space. The address is a private gated street in central Paris, so the windows open to silence — unusual for a stay this central.

The standout detail in Aer's commuter pack is the laptop pocket: it's suspended on a padded soft-lined sleeve that hangs off the bag's interior frame rather than sitting flush with the bottom panel. Drop the bag onto a curb and the laptop never reaches the impact. Twenty-four litres, fits a 16-inch MacBook, $219.

---
`sudo tmutil snapshot` makes an APFS point-in-time copy of the boot volume in seconds; if a system update or kernel-extension experiment goes sideways, Recovery mode's Time Machine restore can roll back to it without ever touching an external drive. Howard Oakley is careful to note this isn't a backup substitute — rolling back deletes every later snapshot — but for a laptop on the road it's a one-line safety net.

Originally built in 1932, "Celia" runs day excursions on the British Pullman starting May 2026.

The Guardian's *Blind Date* column has run weekly since 2009, with each pair rating their date out of ten on six dimensions and answering whether they'd see each other again. Rory Pulvino scraped all 877 dates and ran the numbers: which questionnaire variables actually correlate with reciprocal interest, which don't, and what the answer to "would you have shared the bill?" predicts.

The famous remark on Napoleon's 1804 execution of the Duke of Enghien gets pinned to Talleyrand, Fouché, and Napoleon himself, in roughly that order of confidence. Quote Investigator traces it to a magistrate few non-historians have heard of: Antoine Boulay de la Meurthe, in 1807. The Talleyrand attribution doesn't appear until 1822, the Napoleon one until 1844.

Sixty years before "data visualization" was a job title, Bucky Fuller and John McHale made this silent film: human population from 1000 BCE forward, projected onto Fuller's Dymaxion world map (which preserves continental shape better than Mercator). The clock ticks; the map fills with light; transportation and communication breakthroughs surface as technology markers; the curve goes vertical near the end.

Hotel-grade service (concierge, Turkish baths) attached to a residence-grade space.

Land Lines is the Chrome Experiment where you draw a curve and the page hunts through Google Maps satellite imagery for a real-world ridge, river, or coastline that matches the shape. The matches arrive in seconds, complete with the location — the Atacama coast, a Greenland fjord, a river in Bangladesh — and the surprise is how often the match feels uncanny.

No library, no indexing, no cloud sync — just the folder you actually have on disk, presented the way a photographer would actually want to triage it.
