Friday Varia and Quick Hits

I’m still in snowy Boulder enjoying warm hospitality despite the low temperatures. I am always impressed by mountains, even if people tell me that they’re just really nice hills.

My hectic week has impinged a bit on quantity of varia at my disposal, but I still mustered a nice little list, I think, to keep my loyal readers entertained over the weekend:

• Student-sourced project on Roman amphitheaters. 

• Anthony Kaldelis on Laonikos Chalkokondyles.

• Time and objects after conflict on Cyprus.

• Another nice collection of Athenian street art. 

• This is a lot of money for a 30 year old Atari game found in a landfill in New Mexico.

• You play an archaeologist…

• A thoughtful response to my post on the academic economies. 

• Against productivity.

• The end of the line for Ned Kelly.

• Books that changed you mind.

• Fugazi’s first demo.

• How are articles like this still being written? Really lecture is dead.

• Sorgatz writes the history of inventing new media.

• 264 is a lot of runs.

• What I’m reading: J. Urry and J. Larson, The Tourist Gaze 3.0. Los Angeles 2011.

• What I’m listening to: The Who, The Who Sells Out.
