A Black Friday Quick Hits and Varia
After a relaxing Thanksgiving, it was a bit difficult to get up and put together this week’s quick hits and varia, but the blog must go on…
So without further fanfare here are this week’s most fascinating tidbits from my personal web…
My Punk Archaeology post from earlier in the week got some nice attention in the Twittersphere. Jonathan Jones offers similar, if more biting sentiments.
One of the coolest (pun intended) things on the web lately: a brinicle, ice finger of death. (h/t to Richard Rothaus and Dimitri Nakassis).
How can Watson, Cummins, Harris, Johnson, and Marsh all be injured. Don’t Australian cricket players stretch?
I can’t help getting depressed and frustrated by articles that fixate on the futility of graduate school. While I admire the caring, practical, and professional spirit of these writers, I think that they should not be allowed near graduate students on graduate programs.
What I’m reading: T. M. Van Bueren ed., Communities Defined by Work: Life in Western Work Camps.Historical Archaeology 26 (2002).
What I’m listening to: The Antlers, Burst Apart.
It was the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature was stirring except a bloody pie thief
