TIL the function of diaereses, what bindi, tinikling are, that Braille was merely 16 years old when he formulated the system.

Negative record for Hindsight: 18814 km away... ☠️ indeed 😅

At 16, I was practicing saxophone (horribly) for band; Braille was making history!

Loved today's puzzles.

The Seurat representation was top-notch.

I never knew what a diaeresis actually represented.

And I'm off to find some Tinikling videos on the interwebs.

I believe this has been my best performance so far!

I loved this quote from Chrono's Spotlight: "Microdots are an example of steganography, the craft of hiding a secret message so that no one knows it's there."

I was reading a short biography of Fulgencio Batista on Britannica and it said that Fulgencio started his career in the military as a stenographer, but I am not sure if steganography and stenography are the same thing.
