Happy Anniversary to Me!
Res ipsa loquitur.
FunFact: Twitter launched in July 2006.
Very few peeps still tweeting came aboard that year.
I've always contended that us 2006 early adopters should get a "Verified" checkmark just for having faith early on and keeping it, but Jack Dorsey ignores me whenever I mention this.
Prolly muted me a long time ago, now that I think about it.
But, as Bartleby the scrivener liked to say: "I would prefer not to."
Read "Bartleby the Scrivener," Herman Melville's wonderful 1853 short story, here.

Color Change Puzzle
From the website:
If you're looking for a real puzzling challenge, you probably want one with more than 300 pieces.
Unless, of course, the image depicted is a solid sheet of color which changes when you touch a piece.
This puzzle is exactly that: each piece is printed with a solid violet hue using heat-sensitive ink which changes to pink when you touch it.
Not only does filling in a field of solid color make for quite a challenge on its own, but also each time you pick up a piece, the shift in pigmentation is likely to confuse you into thinking it might not fit where you previously thought it would.
Features and Details:
• 12" x 16"
• 300 pieces
• Matte finish
• Color change lasts a few moments before reverting
