It is Friday at last.
And only one more left in August already. How did that happen?
Are you ready?
Okay!

Found: A Stash of Mystical Charms and Amulets in Pompeii
“It’s really a remarkable discovery,” says Drew Wilburn of Oberlin College, a specialist in the ancient Roman practice of magic. “Finding magic and evidence of the practice of rituals like this, it’s pretty uncommon.”

Ishkur’s Guide to Electronic Music
Can’t tell your breakbeat from your tech house? Now you can.
Works a lot like Google Maps, but for electronic music.
Zoom in to a particular genre and click on a segment. An example track will play.
Exhaustive and well made.
Carefully time your click, and hope your little dude makes it across the playing field.

And there we go!
Enjoy you nearly-last August Friday.
