Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s feeling genuinely like spring these days in North Dakotaland. The temperatures are soaring into the mid-30s and the snow piles disappearing a bit more each day. Next week, temperatures are slated to soar into the 50s!

This weekend feels like what it is: the first weekend of spring break. There isn’t much going on other than a Cup race in Phoenix and the Sixers continued stagger to the end of the season. This is actually fine with me as I have a stack of books to read, a book to produce, and a plan to catch up on some rest.

In the meantime, I did manage to put together a short list of quick hits and varia:

• Pasts Imperfect

• Byzantine ascetic burial (and more).

• Towards a New Museology.

• Cultural Heritage Data for Research.

• Reading Cursive.

• Note from Brad.

• From the blogs:

D.I.S.C.O.

Noodling Varia.

Mediations in an Emergency.

• What I am reading: Paul K. Johnson, Edgar Cayce in Context : the Readings, Truth and Fiction. SUNY Press 1998.

• What I am listening to: Muriel Grossmann, MGQ live im King Georg, Köln. 2025.
