Recently read
- 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.
- Physics for Cats T Gauld. About “science”, but nothing specific.
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.

Nej, en bågsekund är det där ögonblicket av ovisshet innan man inser att det bara var båg alltihop.
eller 1/60-dels bågminut...
jag kommer inte kunna komma på måndag btw. min vän kunde inte styra om planerna. hoppas ni får trevligt!
Jag gillar Martins teori bättre måste jag säga. Men mest för att jag tycker "båg" är ett så underbart uttryck.
