It’s March and its still cold for some reason. In fact, this weekend is supposed to be as cold January here in North Dakotaland. Good thing that I have some grading, some fun work, and a couple of warm dogs to keep me cosy and distracted from whatever is going on outdoors.
To share the distraction, here’s a little gaggle of quick hits and varia:
- The Rainbow Marshalltown: An Allegory for the Archaeology of the 21st Century
- Flat Earth Studies.
- Edinburgh Byzantine Studies
- Deep Dream Generator (h/t to Shawn Graham).
- Mix Tapes.
- Historians go to the movies.
- Olde Skool Web Browser.
- Reflections on snow.
- U. of California System Cancels Elsevier Subscriptions. (Plus suggested workarounds.)
- Bryce Harper.
- Apartment Windows in January.
- Miles Davis from 1959: “I’ll tell you,” says Miles with a grin, “if I can play good for eight bars, it’s enough for me. It’s satisfaction. The only thing is, he puts his finger on his nose, “I don’t tell anybody which eight bars are the good ones. That’s my secret.”

- What I’m listening to: J. S. Ondara, Tales of America.
