Random thoughts and links for the week ending August 14
As always, you can find my latest social posts on Mastodon.
Hi, All.
I’m checking in with a few links that I came across in the last week or so:
- 15 Excellent Nerdy Nonfiction Books from Gizmodo
- Also, 12 Black sci-fi and fantasy comics to read from Polygon
- This old article in The Atlantic by Vannevar Bush was referred to by William Gibson in his book of essays, Distrust That Particular Flavor: “If there was a more eerily prescient piece of prose, fiction or otherwise, written in the first half the twentieth century, I don’t know it.”
I recently got back into “analog”, physical notebooks, and newly got into fountain pens. I am still slowly learning about what I want to do with my notebooks by buying some stuff and watching YouTube videos:
- A cool pen I bought this week: Kaweco AL Sport fountain pen in vibrant violet
- A YouTube channel I started watching, Job's Journal
I've watched other YT videos and channels about journaling, but this channel is one I've watched the most recently. I'll probably write more about my foray into journaling, stationery, and pens later.
An interesting interview with Tressie McMillan Cottom from the Morning Brew newsletter that I read when I had insomnia several days ago
Long article about “kidults”, a group I consider myself a part of
Short film about used CDs that I found in the same publication as the previous list item
I’ve been watching this creator’s YouTube channel for a while now, not just this week. He has a lot of interesting woodworking projects. Even if I’ll never try making them, it’s cool to watch him build stuff.
Well, that’s all for now. Hope you all have a good rest of your week!
