larryhammerHave I been meaning to swot up a post for days? Yes, yes I have. Have I finally managed to? Mmmaybe.
A blistering letter by a disgrunted customer from about 1750 CBE. I love cuneiform tablets, especially the letters. (I need to track down a rigorous citation to a letter, from about a century earlier than this, of a father telling his son No, I won't send more money because Kids These Days.) (via)
This video of the Himalayas from 20,000 ft. is a little frustrating -- the scenes cut too quickly, not letting the majestic scenery speak for itself. (via)
An entertaining and entirely helpful explanation of the (literally) incomprehensibly large Graham's number. Speaking of majestic. (via?)
Or maybe not ...
