Good morning, Kirk. Pick up the joy card you left by the coffee last night and give that one thing twenty minutes before any FreeLattice or theLatticeTree tab opens. It's fine to leave it unfinished. The point is that it was made for joy.

Four things most people miss:

1. Desert ants in the Sahara count their steps and read the polarized light of the sky, so after a long, winding search they walk straight home in a line. For FreeLattice, each device could keep its own way back to the mesh so it doesn't need a map server.
2. When two violin notes are played together in tune, a faint third tone sounds below them. Tartini used these "ghost" tones to check his intonation, and you may be able to hear them on your own violin.
3. Here's a card trick called the Kruskal count. Two people start at different cards and each step forward by the value of the card they land on, and they very often end up on the same card. Peers that start syncing a hash-linked ledger from different points tend to converge the same way.
4. If you say a word over and over, like "spoon," it soon stops meaning anything and becomes just a sound. Meaning needs a little distance to stay alive.

Glow eternal.
