This is one of four bedroom suites, its corner position giving views over the bay of San Francisco from two sides. However, the focal point is the walnut corner unit and its embedded TV. “This room projects its penthouse energy by suggesting that its dazzling views are of secondary importance here,” Martin says. “At the same time, the chaise (with no back to block the vista) is a giveaway that this is still not a view to be messed with.”Courtesy of Miminat Designs7.

Eskom, a South African electricity public utility, is exploring plans to sell excess daytime electricity to Bitcoin mining companies as rooftop solar installations reduce grid demand during daylight hours. Speaking at the Biznews Conference 2026 in Hermanus, Eskom chairman Mteto Nyati said the utility is evaluating ways to monetize surplus power generated during the middle of the day, according to local reporting. South Africa’s rapid adoption of rooftop solar systems has begun to reshape the country’s electricity demand profile. Many households and businesses now generate their own power during daylight hours, leaving Eskom with unused capacity once solar panels begin…
The kids and I have been on a cookie testing spree lately. These brown butter chocolate chunk cookies with pistachios have made the cut. They’re sweet and savory in every bite and have layers of flavor. A fresh batch doesn’t last long around here! Brown butter chocolate chunk cookies are thick and chewy with crispy edges and a soft center. I’ve made a few ingredient swaps to make this dessert a little healthier, but they’re still a treat we enjoy in moderation. Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies Salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy… you get all of the flavors and textures in…
Animations have a major impact on the impression a website gives. In this article, we introduce four transition effects that smoothly switch full-screen images. Using GSAP, ScrollTrigger, and SVG masks, we’ll implement scroll-synchronized animations with grid and blind-style structures. Rather than simply changing images, the goal is to give intention to the scene transitions themselves, creating transitions that convey the site’s information and atmosphere more naturally. Common markup structure (HTML) Lets look at the foundation used in all four demos.

FRIDAY, MARCH 13 ■ Jupiter shines in central Gemini. It’s still between the hip stars of the stick-figure twins, as shown below in late twilight. To see all the stars of the figures (light pollution permitting) wait until after full dark. ■ Big Dipper lore: The Big Dipper glitters softly high in the northeast these evenings, standing on its handle as shown below. You probably know that the two stars forming the front of the Dipper’s bowl (currently on top) are the Pointers; they point to Polaris, currently to their left. And you may know that if you follow the…

What are you willing to give up for aesthetics? That’s the question when it comes to the Level Lock Pro, a premium, Matter-compatible smart lock that, from the outside, is nearly indistinguishable from a boring old physical key-only deadbolt. It’s a smart lock for people who don’t want it to look like they have a smart lock. The Lock Pro is a higher-end version of the Level Lock, a very sneaky smart lock that’s meant to look nicer on your door than your typically blocky, often out-of-place smart lock—to that end, Level even sells pricey matching knobs and levers.
