Some ideas for shaping the crown of knit hats.

"He was 70 when he appeared on the cover of The Chessmaster 2000, and that same image was used on Chessmaster games for the next 16 years. A professional actor to the very end, Hare passed away in 1997, not in a hospital but on stage, during a rehearsal at Manhattan's famous Actor's Studio"

This is a large collection of single purpose, chainable (like a pipeline) tools for text and image processing (csv conversion, etc) and other tools that are written in javascript and run in the browser. I'm impressed whenever I come across one of them (and they've been useful to me a few times).

Jeff Sarwer was the intimidating 8-year-old chess prodigy who drew against Josh Waitzkin to share a US Junior Chess championship title (the basis for the dramatic finale in the film "Searching for Bobby Fischer"). He's a professional poker player now.

Jennifer Shahade also interviewed him for the USCF website a few years ago: http://www.uschess.org/index.php/January/Lost-and-Found-An-Interview-with-Jeff-Sarwer.html

Issues of BYTE magazine on the Internet Archive.

From Wikipedia:

"Byte (stylized as BYTE) was an American microcomputer magazine, influential in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage. Whereas many magazines were dedicated to specific systems or the home or business users' perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of "small computers and software", and sometimes other computing fields such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing. Coverage was in-depth with much technical detail, rather than user-oriented. Byte started in 1975, shortly after the first personal computers appeared as kits advertised in the back of electronics magazines. Byte was published monthly, with an initial yearly subscription price of $10. Print publication ceased in 1998 and online publication in 2013."
