Five for Friday 734

Welcome to Friday,

Here are five things I thought worth sharing this week.

A look at the evolution of libraries.

The book has a glorious future ahead of it. Ted Gioia pretty much sums up my reasons for preferring books to most media; I own it and know it won’t be altered or unavailable when I want to read it.

“What virtue is undersupplied today?”

Now on view: A sunhat worn by a Roman soldier while on duty in Egypt.

A recent study on wolf hunting in the Western U.S. has yielded underwhelming results in protecting livestock.

Currently reading: “Create Dangerously” by Albert Camus

Have a creative weekend.


Sun Breaking through Clouds above the Roman Campagna, Frey, Johann Jakob. 1844 or later.
