Goats, Bubbles, and Economic Collapse.

The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble by Julian Gough is amusing and very much worth reading. It was originally published in the Financial Times and was the first short story they ever published. There's also a BBC radio play about it, though I haven't listened to it, I'm sure it's excellent as well.

The Memory Palace

The Memory Palace has fascinating podcasts by Nate DiMeo on some of the strangest things in history. From bats as bombers to hallucinating Dutchmen, each one is different, interesting, sad, and funny. I've only listened to the first 5 episodes, but I already recommend it to all 1 of my readers.

Rebooting

Okay, I know I've let this blogger be totally dormant for a long time, but I think it is time to start again. This week, I will start again with regular postings of things I like, personal adventures (I use the word 'adventure' loosely), and news clips.
