CryptoHack.org
“CryptoHack is a fun platform for learning cryptography. The emphasis is on breaking bad implementations of “modern” crypto, such as AES, RSA, and Elliptic-curve. The format is a series of puzzles that teach small lessons and motivate further research.”

Canned Emails
“a minimal site with prewritten emails”
–Canned Emails
Nice way to ease yourself into the philosophy of five.sentenc.es. Still, you have to use your judgment. Email isn’t always the best medium, e.g., don’t break up with someone over email or text.

Lore Olympus
“In this Webtoon, the story of Persephone and Hades is retold from a new perspective… modern day. This dramatic, somewhat addictive story involves two Greek gods, who meet by chance, and suddenly start questioning their feelings for each other. On top of that, this story features relationship struggles, looking for love, going to school for the first time, abusive situations, futures not chosen by the person it’s for, parties, and MUCH, MUCH more. I really think you will love this webtoon! For all those fans of the Kane Chronicles and the Percy Jackson and Hero of Olympus series. Or, basically anyone who has ever found any form of enjoyment out of fictional shipping and romantic fandoms will find a home in this story.”

Every Noise at Once
“Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at analgorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the
musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 3,356
genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2019-08-27 [or recent dote when you might be reading this description].
The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.”
Talk to Transformer
Maybe you want to try writing with a neural network before setting one up at home. Try TalkToTransformer.com. Futurism had some fun with Elon Musk tweets that suggests one possibility.
