Five for Friday 643

Welcome to Friday,

Here are five things I thought worth sharing this week.

Adam Roberts looks at the history of haunted technologies. Why don’t we have haunted wi-fi routers or networks?

This piece from a neuroscientist on the pleasure (and trip ups) of wording sentences was a surprise and delight.

Sound advice: “Stay alive, Get weird.”

Smithsonian Magazine looks at surrealism as the school turns 100.

Tim Ferriss, author and longtime podcast interviewer, outlines his new rules for podcasting. In the process he provides an interesting look into how a successful person can choose not to be bound to what has worked in the past, and find unconventional ways to continue growing their interests and knowledge. I thought the insight into how he makes decisions around what is already working was novel.

Currently reading: The Essays of Michel de Montaigne (revisiting)

Have a wonderful weekend and safe holiday.
