JSAUX Online Store
Accessories for handheld gaming devices that you didn’t know you needed until you saw them. Their Steam Deck accessories are particularly clever – solving problems Nintendo should have solved years ago.

Amazon: Beach Umbrella Base
A beach umbrella base that’s compliant with safety standards I didn’t know existed. The fact that beach umbrellas need safety standards suggests there are stories behind this product that I don’t want to know.

Amazon: Grumpy Animals Book
A book called “100 Grumpy Animals” by Beast Flaps. Sometimes you bookmark things because the title alone brings you joy. This is one of those times.

Barnes & Noble: Atlas of Middle-earth
Because apparently I need maps of fictional places. Karen Wynn Fonstad’s cartography work is genuinely impressive – turning Tolkien’s descriptions into actual usable maps. Sometimes obsessive fandom produces beautiful results.

Hacker News: ChatGPT Saved My Life
Someone credits ChatGPT with literally saving their life by helping diagnose a medical condition. It’s the kind of AI success story that makes you simultaneously hopeful about technology and concerned about healthcare accessibility.

Consumer culture: where every want becomes a need and every need becomes a purchase. And sometimes, just sometimes, the internet actually helps save lives.
