Some more links this week. A few (big!) Hall of Fame entries, a longer list than usual of videos (mostly science — Feynman! — or science fiction), some blog posts (still losing ground there) and a Kickstarter project. Hall of Fame Fantastic Maps (Jonathan Roberts) Jonathan Roberts has a site, …
This started off as an entry in my Links of the Week for May 28, but I got caught up in what I was talking about. After about 600 words I decided to pump it up to its own post. Jim over at Carjacked Seraphim got fired up by my …
