📚 Salty's Recent Reads 📚


Below you'll find a list of articles that I've read and found especially interesting. I read a ton of shit of articles/documents online every day, so you're only getting the cream of the crop here! I also make a point to archive each one using the Wayback Machine so that the links never die.

☠️ I read the Wikipedia page for the .tk top-level domain, which was pretty much only used for illegal online activities until Meta sued them. I can't believe they got away with this for so long; the Internet is crazy.

🦾 I read "When Robots Got Muscles" by canmom. This article traces the history of when modern art and media moved toward a tendency of depicting robots with a more organic and humanoid look. As an avid fan of cyberpunk media, this one really got me and is well-researched!

☕ I read "Reflection Mapping History" by Paul Debevec. This one's a quick journey through the early history of reflection mapping in CGI from the 1970s until the early 1990s. If you're into 3D modeling or CGI effects in media, this is a good read!
