Ever wish you could focus on just the interesting parts of your 2D plots?
Caleb Thomas, a talented member of the MATLAB user community, has made it possible with his open-source Zoomed Axes contribution.

Marble Madness (Atari Games, 1984), designed by Mark Cerny, puts you in control of... a marble! For those old enough to remember this gem, its only flaw was its shortness (only 6 levels), and I wonder why they didn't just make more levels. Surely, the core programming was the heavy lifting, adding a few more levels (the easier part) would have given this game a much longer lifetime.
What stands out are brilliant isometric graphics, an iconic soundtrack, and an interesting concept: guiding a marble through a maze with traps and obstacles. I remember real-life versions; a wooden box covered by plexiglass containing a maze-like structure, where you guide a metal ball from one end to the other by tilting the box.
Marble Madness belongs in that rare category of early '80s games that truly stood out. You can't put it with Paradroid, Elite or The Sentinel, but it left its mark. Close your eyes and listen to the first 10-15 seconds of the soundtrack for the ultimate time travel experience.

BREAKING: Sugars essential for life have been found in pristine asteroid Bennu samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Combined with previous detections of amino acids and nucleobases, we see that life’s ingredients were widespread throughout the solar system: go.nasa.gov/48MTu9i

YES! THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR! - The absolute last minute that abstracts can be submitted to the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference!
T-Minus 5 days to be exact 👀
@SDnAconf
#SDnAConf 2026 - last chance for late news submissions this week.

For sale, really big impressive 3D video game collection. Super rare & obscure shit. Multiple copies of a few choice choice items. Museum pieces. I actually wrote my whitepaper @SDnAconf on it. I have shit no one else thought of looking for. #3d #retrogames #3dvideogames

Midnight pico launch. Only window I had that didn’t have clouds nor wind.
Nervously waiting till 8am local time till I seen the first reports and telemetry roll in.
It’s now on its voyage across the Atlantic.

How does the brain work?
Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

wait... fungi display action potentials?!🤯
"Two types of spiking activity are uncovered: high-frequency (period 2.6 min) and low-frequency (period 14 min) .."
is this well known in biology? like, if I actually studied it at school would I know this? so cool!
Impressive - this is from a monocular image source (right?)
