Friday Links!
Leading off this week is a link from C. Lee, and everything about this story is brilliant: Students unravel ninja technology in device used for eavesdropping.
This is a terrific video: Tim Henson's interview shows why he's one of the best guitarists of his era.
From Michael Higgins-Freese, and I think I speak for all of us when I say "ick": Shoes Carry Poop Bacteria Into NYC Buildings, Study Finds.
From C. Lee, and this is going to get very, very complicated: ChatGPT is overtly and covertly writing novels and short stories and the industry is freaking out. A fantastic read: Forget the Scenic Route, Take a Detour. Fascinating: The Enchanting (and sometimes macabre) World of Ex-Voto. A great bit of history, with a little still alive: America’s Last Juke Joints. An interesting list of where not to go (famous places that need a rest): Fodor’s No List 2023. This is another terrific Digital Antiquarian article: Sequels in Strategy Gaming, Part 3: Heroes of Might and Magic II. This is an amazing read: The Great Wall of China Chapter 29: The Virus.
A bit of sci-fi history from Wally: Adventures in Fiction: Andre Norton. A very satisfying read; What is it that makes Used Bookstores so Wonderful? This could become increasingly useful: Weird Weather: How to Tell a Williwaw from a Haboob.
From Chris M., and it may not be fooling anyone now, but it will: AI-generated fiction is flooding literary magazines — but not fooling anyone.
From David Gloier, and it's bizarre: Giant flying bug found at Arkansas Walmart turns out to be "super-rare" Jurassic-era insect.
