Here is a collection of miscellaneous news articles, blog posts, and other web content I’m reading (or planning to) today, Thursday, January 29, 2026:

“‘Not just a typeface’: Volvo’s new font wants to keep you safe“ @ Creative Bloq

“From Microsoft to Microslop to Linux: Why I Made the Switch“ @ Bogdan’s Blog

This is a great blog post about the frustrations Windows users have been experiencing over the past year as Microsoft integrates more AI and ads into the user experience — and how switching to Linux is more of a viable alternative than ever before.

Not only is he a great writer, but he also has a lot of great recommendations for Linux alternatives to popular mainstream Windows/macOS apps. Even if you’re not in the mood to switch operating systems, it’s worth a read.

“Challenger at 40: The disaster that changed NASA“ @ The Register

I was obsessed with the Challenger disaster as a kid. My parents had bought me a library of history books geared towards children and the volume on Challenger was one I read on repeat.
