I should be able to view a real-time dashboard of my puzzle submissions piped to an e-ink display hanging on my wall. It will usually say "yep, still waiting on that one you sent two weeks ago"

Like maybe it could monitor my outstanding submissions and automatically format a pitch to the next available outlet upon rejection! Or add calendar events for when I should expect responses! Really load this thing up with features

One thing I'm desperate to over-engineer is my system for tracking my own crossword puzzles submitted to various outlets. I do few enough that it's totally viable for them to be lines in a spreadsheet but I'd love to have a ridiculously elaborate system, you know?

I'm very often too close to it to really feel the full appreciation, but cryptography can really be so cool. It's amazing that we have this set of tools, and we're still building more.

• pencil drawing of a strange serpent like creature with flippers. The head is facing left and it is gliding from the top right of the page to the middle of the left. It has two visible eyes (four in total as this is a side profile) and a knobbly bony head and a huge mouth with big teeth which is open and you can see its tongue inside. Around its head it has a few protrudent growths that frame its head and throat. Its skin is rough and textured. (remote)
