 Only a few this week.


A nuts & bolts look at the world of writing for money:

Some good-looking radios from a brand I hadn't seen before. I have one on order, I'll let you know:

Nestflix: a directory of movies-within-movies (and tv shows). Yes, they have Logjammin'. Yes, they have McBain. But you can submit any they don't have.

The photographs of Zaharia Cusnir. A village photographer in the Romanian/Moldovan border region from 1955-1970, Cusnir lived and died in relative obscurity. His negatives were found in an abandoned house, scanned, and now some are on this website. Some of the images are quite powerful: your heart goes out to the subjects. I will be spending more time with these over the weekend.

Friday Links: About Tabs, Citizen Science in ATL, MEI Packs, Wood-Fired Ovens

 First, a tab about tabs and tabbing:

(Some of our clutter is there because it's stuff that reminds us of who we want to be.)

An opportunity to do citizen science here in Atlanta:

MEI makes the Voyageur, my favorite carry-on with backpack straps. I have ordered these as gifts several times and gotten excellent feedback each time:

Random Friday Links July 2021

 

Here's an anticipated new feature: Random Friday Links

Every week at work, I leave my computer running, only turning it off on the weekend, for reasons having to do with the age of my computer and the amount of time it takes to boot up.

I am in the habit of not closing browser tabs I am intrigued by, or interested in. But then on Friday afternoon, I shut down the computer, only to start up the process again on Monday. I feel like it might be worthwhile to preserve these links in this ephemeral form. Here's the first entry.

I anticipate no annotation, to explanation, no explication for these links. Just check 'em out. Or not.
