Friday Links!
A little light this week, as usual during the holidays, but some good stuff in here.Leading off this week, from C. Lee, and if you liked this film as much as I did, it's your lucky day: ‘THE BIG SLEEP’: SEVENTY YEARS SINCE HOWARD HAWKS’ ELECTRIFYING FILM NOIR MASTERPIECE. Also, and this is a fascinating read: India Pale Ales: A history of the authentically global beer.
From DQ Film Advisor and Nicest Guy in the World Ben Ormand, the best of holiday traditions: THE STORY OF HOW TWO FRIENDS ELABORATELY RE-GIFTED THE SAME PAIR OF PANTS FOR OVER TWO DECADES.
From Steven Davis, and this is excellent: A Journey To The Bottom Of The Internet: the Monet cable system. Also, and this is spectacular, it's Heirloom Tech: Aineh-Kari Next-Level Mirror Mosaics.
From Wally, and this is so, so clever: The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel. Here's an interesting story about Germany's final WWI offensive: Operation Blücher. One more great read about the Civil War--this time, an auditory analysis: The Sounds of Silence: Acoustic shadows bedeviled commanders on both sides during the war.
From Ken Piper, and this is remarkable: North Carolina's Abandoned 'Wizard of Oz' Theme Park Will Haunt You.
From David Yellope, and this is a fascinating story: The forgotten story of … Jeff Hall, the footballer whose death turned tide against polio.
From Brian Witte, and this is fantastic: The Alien Style of Deep Learning Generative Design.
