Friday Varia and Quick Hits

After what seemed like two months of intolerable cold, we’re finally looking forward to some milder weather this weekend with the high in mid-20s and some light snow to tidy to tidy up the neighborhood.

This week was hectic, but a mild weekend offers a great chance to hunker down, read, write, and recharge for another busy week. 

In the meantime, here are some quick hits and varia:

• It’s pretty rare for an archaeological issue to reach the Supreme Court, but here you go.

• Check out Gods of the Biblical World.

• The state of history.

• Met on Wikimedia Commons.

• Reimagining the Digital Monograph; I uploaded a book to Topicgraph from The Digital Press, Mobilizing the Past, and here are the results.

• Archaeology and Assassin’s Creed.

• I wrote this piece on blogging 10 years ago; Jason Kottke has been blogging for 20 years.

• Coffee lids.

• And, along similar lines, the blue pallet.

• Here’s me talking about North Dakota Quarterly on Prairie Public Radio.

• We forget most of what we read.

• What I’m reading: I. Stengers, Another Science is Possible: A Manifesto for Slow Science. 2018.

• What I’m listening to: Sonny Rollins, Way Out West. (H/t to Pitchfork for reminding me of this gem!).
