One last link collection for the year:
- Stan Carey asked people how they use the words “whilst”, “amongst” and “amidst”, and discussed the results in a blog post. The meat is in the links and comments (and not just mine).
- For those of us who have fantasised about having a head reconstruction made from our skulls just to see how accurate it is, here’s someone who’s done that.
- An article about a very clever spider.
- Dogs are better at driving than they are at playing the piano.
- Beautiful ice formations.
- Voyager in new territory.
- A code and an 18th century secret society (parts don’t make sense, but the rest is fascinating).
- Feathercraft. Brilliantly done.
- Convert pictures to embroidery. Or just get an idea of what it would look like.
- Australian weather calendar (on a British site, which I found via an American link).
- Most ambitious journalism project ever?
- History of extraordinary evidence (the saying, anyway).
- Sean Carroll has moved his blog posts, and Ed Yong will soon be moving too.
