A woman witnesses and participates in things she becomes a person of interest for.

Although not immediately spectacular, it gets good enough.

Inspired by The Peripheral – (2014 book), by William Gibson
Although it was picked up for another season, it was killed due to various strikes.

A hacker screws around with a game company’s server, causing an artificial intelligence to stir up the military.

Both quaint and awesome. It doesn’t hold up over time, so it does have to be understood in the context of it’s era. Still recommended if you’re old enough to do so.

A plugin to let you insert text mid-sentence, and have it be turned into a link leading to the text instead placed at the bottom of the page.

Easy to use and really nice!

2.1.3 had a serious vulnerability so I was forced to update; I’ll look for a replacement and maintained footnotes plugin.
