Friday Links!
Late summer doldrums this week (a tradition), so fewer links than usual.
Leading off, and I saw one of these in San Francisco (I think it was San Francisco--it was almost 30 years ago): Watching the World in a Dark Room: The Early Modern Camera Obscura.
A remarkable, fascinating story: What It Takes to Crew the Hardest Race on Earth.
A long, excellent read: ‘The forest had gone’: the storm that moved a mountain.
It just goes on and on and on: How the Rapid Spread of Misinformation Pushed Oregon Lawmakers to Kill the State’s Wildfire Risk Map.
What a fantastic idea: "Microdose of Art" is my go-to for a quick way to learn about art and art history.
From Wally, and it's curious (why James Bond has never been nominated for a Hugo): License Denied. A terrific read: The Trolley Solution: the internet’s most memed moral dilemma becomes a video game. An interesting experiment: Processing: Why Benjamin Percy Is Writing a Novel as a Newspaper with Stephen King. I do not understand: People are bringing their own food to Bay Area restaurants. Is ‘purse tuna’ ever OK?
