Recently read
- Ministry of Space W Ellis, C Weston, L Martin & M Heisler. The world is more connected than this.
- Bombers in Service—Patrol and Transport Aircraft since 1960 K Munson. For my nostalgia shelf.
- French Poilu 1914–18. I Sumner, ill G Rava. Rather too short to cover the entire war.
- First World War and Army of Occupation War Diary France Belgium and Germany: 24 DIVISION 72 Infantry Brigade, Brigade Trench Mortar Battery February 1918–31 January 1919 (First World War, War Diary, WO95/2215/3) Exactly what it says on the tin, though the label is quite large.
- Making Sense of Haptics: Fundamentals of Perception and Implications for Device Design F E van Beek. This is the work of a recently graduated PhD student. Good work, too.
- Sonification Design: From Data to Intelligible Soundfields D Worrall. I thought this was the work of an eager and recently graduated PhD, not a well-established professor.
Places I keep track of
- IPMS Stockholm One of the best plastic modelling forums you'll find.
- Hyperscale More modelling stuff.
- Occasional kvetch Thnidu is a linguist and an old friend.
- Another CyborgManifesto Small and large, always with alarming skill.
- Aardvarchaeology What kind of archaeologist doesn't have a whip or even a fedora?
- Arkland Archaeology and random bits.
- Pharyngula Biology, politics and atheism. And eight-legged animals.
- Something positive Magical realism in a very cynical way.
- Chicken Wings It's about birds…that fly…
- xkcd Don't miss the mouse-overs.

You remind me of A. A. Milne's Eeyore (I-or) so much right now...
:D
But… I have a tube of Karlsson's Klister, right here?
What? Are you planning to glue the fish to the tin before pouring out the liquid?
Maybe I can sculpt fishes out of glue?
If you try sculpting fishes out of the glue, I strongly advise not to put the resultinto your Jansson´s Temptation... Unless you plan to pour the Jansson into the waste bin.
