Some of my favorite things from around the internet:

• Redactle: a Wordle-inspired game where you try to guess the subject of a redacted Wikipedia article
• Onelook: an online dictionary/thesaurus with a great search function
• The NYC Parks Department’s official tree map, featuring nearly 900,000 street and park trees
• The New York Times’s crowdsourced map of NYC neighborhood boundaries
• Aphex Twin’s Stone in Focus set to video of a Japanese macaque in a hot spring from Baraka
