Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s the calm before the storm here in North Dakotaland. Grand Forks is expecting a significant winter storm on Christmas and Boxing Days. Fortunately that won’t effect the playing of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne or the cosiness of a book by the fire. 

In the meantime, here’s a very modest list of some quick hits and varia:

• Recent finds from Ancient Corinth.

• Hipster Stoicism for Christmas. 

• Digital Archaeology at a Classical Mayan Site.

• Archaeologists need to be more digital.

• Arcades in the 1980s.

• The best maps of 2016.

• Picking the President: Understanding the Electoral College.

• Exotica for your Winter Storm.

• Freezing out Elsevier.

• Disappearing bookbinders.

• The best media corrections of 2016.

• What I’m reading: J. Purdy, After Nature: A Politics of the Anthropocene. Harvard 2015.

• What I’m listening to: Kyle Morton, What Will Destroy You; Arthur Lyman, Mele Kalikimaka.
