A group of coworker friends and I used to find the most creative ways to mess with each others' computers if they were left unattended. Some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head: 1. A Chrome extension that slowly rotated e

Oh this is fascinating. I'll have to keep an eye on the Tom Brady data since I was already doing something similar by hand for tracking all of his TDs [1]. I've wanted more detailed data for the data visualization piece of it [2]

This is how I do it too. I build websites for other people for a living, so if I have a side project I just want to build something I like. And if I don't worry about making money with it, I don't feel the pressure to build for ot
