Sunday Things - reading list edition
posted in Links by Cargo Cult on Sunday June 16 2013
Enough pictures and videos. Have some readings to read instead!
- Iain Banks: the final interview - political, profane and hilarious - much missed already. If you have a UK IP address, see also BBC Scotland's tribute on the iPlayer.
- The Martian Chroniclers - jumbo-sized New Yorker article on some of the people behind the oft-mentioned-here Mars Science Laboratory mission. Bonus Curiosity pictures: night shots taken on Mars. They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names - humans are complicated beasts, and any societal norms you expect are likely to be incomplete. See also - Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time.
- Mindscapes: First interview with a dead man - perhaps not the ideal link to place alongside the Banks interview above, but here's an experience of Cotard's syndrome, in which sufferers believe that they don't exist.
- Alternate Reality Game puzzle design - look at me! I can type lots of text!
Bonus This Time It's A Video corner:
A supercell near Booker, Texas - clouds doing distinctly ominous things.
