I Can’t Believe You Forgot… !!
Had to quit before the strain caused an aneurysm or something equally unpleasant ruptured; have no fear (unless this is your intent), this list is far from complete and will continue to grow as I stumble over more musical corpses to bury in this nightmarish necropolis.
Nexus Conspectus
Having recently talked myself into another unnecessary electronic device (those paperbacks just take up too much space), I am subsequently forced to wring every possible ounce of usefulness out of a shiny new Google Nexus 7 (2013) in order to justify my lack of financial responsibility.
First on the purchase list was an OTG (On-the-Go) USB adapter cable by IVSO, allowing for the insertion of every random USB device at hand and the compilation of this trial-by-error OTG compatibility conspectus.
As I encounter more USB flotsam to force upon my unwilling replicant their misbegotten offspring will be appended to this list. Feel free to make suggestions, corrections or contribute your own observations in the comments.

Making Art of Aeroplankton
To the enthusiast, all forms of aeroplankton are inherently beautiful; however, brilliant west coast artist Klari Reis has taken this imperceptible beauty and made it startlingly apparent to even the least observant. Through a stunning artistic collaboration with bacteria an interesting new form of art has been created. Using cellular and microscopic images as inspiration, but only paint and Petri dishes to create the magnificent results of this great collaboration here.
