Hooray for Friday!
And where I live it’s finally warming up. (Despite some quite insane weather last weekend.)
It’s links time!!
“Twenty five hundred years ago, in what is now southern Iran, stood and ancient city of awe-inspiring beauty. Built by powerful kings, it served as the ceremonial capital of Achaemenid, Persia – the largest empire of its time. Today we know is as Persepolis.”
An incredible virtual recreation of this iconic city from the Getty Center. Well done.
“Disconnect from work and let the horses of Iceland reply to your emails while you are on vacation. (Seriously)”
This hilarious idea took many months of training to realize. (My favourite statement: “Did we really teach the horses of Iceland to type on a giant keyboard? Yes, we did.”)
Unreal. A funny, kind of amazing concept. Also sort of making the rounds.
The Secret History of the Lost Champagne Cellars Under the Brooklyn Bridge
“Washington Roebling hatched a deal with the owner of a small Brooklyn wine shop, Rackey’s Wine Company, which made use of the vaults in the base of the Brooklyn Bridge (near Front Street, under the ramps leading up to the anchorages) as a cellar to store his inventory”
Note: This is a real story. Not the Onion.
A seemingly straightforward platformer but… oddly quite challenging.
Addictive!
