Friday fumblings

These were the things I came across this week that made me smile:

Why Do You Grab Your Bag When Running Off a Burning Plane? (The New York Times) — it turns out that it's less of a decision, more of an impulse.
If a house was designed by machine, how would it look? (BBC Business) — lighter, more efficient buildings.
Playdate is an adorable handheld with games from the creators of Qwop, Katamari, and more (The Verge) — a handheld console with a hand crank that's actually used for gameplay instead of charging!
The true story of the worst video game in history (Engadget) — it was so bad they buried millions of unsold cartridges in the desert.
E Ink Smartphones are the big new trend of 2019 (Good e-Reader) — I've actually also own a regular phone with an e-ink display, so I can't wait for this to be a thing.
