Over the last couple of days I’ve been working on a side project based on the classic “Expanding the Square” Notan art exercise.

Last week’s game was almost perfect.

Last Week, y’all guessed 6 out of 10.

Did you know that there are all sorts of corner shapes in CSS now?

Dolphia Arnstein says designers deliberately ignored technological skills, which removed them from the technical discussions and made them irrelevant: Designers create mockups.

Last week we got to 8/10 lyrics identified in pretty short order.

This week’s lyrics game has a lyric from the Barenaked Ladies song “The Old Apartment.”

Last week Frodis Caper and Sidney fought over seven of ten identified lyrics — Frodis with 3, Sidney with Four.

Last week we had 7/10 identified, with a rather large number of almost simultaneous identifications from Fred, Frodis Caper, and Glen.

Last week there was only one song unidentified, and it is probably my favorite out of the ten.

Last week y’all recognized only 60% of the lyrics, probably because I went a little further afield: “The President, he’s got his war, folks don’t know just what it’s for.”

Last week left us with two unidentified songs: Walk the Dinosaur by Was (Not Was) Lose Control by Teddy Swims I don’t know about you, but reading “I felt a little tired, so I watched Miami Vice” was one of those “So that’s what they’re saying!”

I really like Tofutush’s post about accusing people of using AI: I’ve seen callout posts which are basically taking a really well-drawn piece of artwork, circling seemingly random spots, with generic annotations like ”???

Last week’s game had only one song left over, and it was David Crosby’s declaration that, as far as he was concerned, the hippie moment was not over: “Almost Cut My Hair.”

Last week’s lyrics game landed at 6/10, with Sidney alone wrapping up five.

I apologize for the unannounced hiatus last week.

Last Week we had 8/10 lyrics identified.

Last week we again had eight of ten lyrics identified.

Last week we got eight of ten songs!

Last week, players got eight out of ten.

Last week we again had all ten songs guessed, with Frodis Caper identifying seven.

Casey Muratori of Molly Rocket has a great video discussing ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s poorly received graduation speech at Arizona State University.

After a one-week hiatus I’m back with another ten lyrics for you to guess.

Holy cats!

Large language models are confusing everyone.

Update: All ten have been identified, a rare achievement indeed!
