Friday Links!

From Steven Davis, and this is fantastic: Build Your Own 3D Zoetrope With This Desktop Animation Kit. This is remarkable and obscure: The Glass Armonica, Benjamin Franklin’s 1761 invention. This is useful for everyone:  Here's a 21st Century Skill--and How to Teach It!. This is stunning: An Astonishingly Small Stone Carving That Has the Power to Change Art History.

From Roger Robar, and this is an interesting read: The Mentally Ill Hero: How The Tick and Dirk Gently Give Unbalanced “Sidekicks” Center Stage.

From C. Lee, and this is a thoughtful read: I was depressed, anxious, and on the verge of suicide… then Zelda: Breath of the Wild saved me.

From Wally, and this is bizarre: Tiny Fossils Reveal That Human Ancestors Could Be Crushed With Your Thumb. From the wayback machine: 1964 NOMDA Blue Book: Smith-Corona (SCM) Font Styles.

From Mark H, and this is astonishing: BC’S HOGAN TWINS SHARE A BRAIN AND SEE OUT OF EACH OTHER’S EYES.

Ending the week, and this is a great read, it's Two Stars Slammed Into Each Other And Solved Half Of Astronomy’s Problems. What Comes Next?
