Two Flickr links

A few months ago, Steve posted about John McLoughlin’s visit to the Black Hole in Los Alamos. Last night, while wandering around Flickr, I came across Telstar Logistics’ Black Hole photoset. It’s well worth a look, and man – that is one great Kachina string tie!

Via BB, I found the Reading Stack photo pool – pictures of the To Be Read stack that folks have staged and ready. I find it reassuring – my bibliomania may only be garden variety – though I might be BS-ing myself…

One of the Reading Stack pictures featured a Sticklebook. Aside from a good name, it is a very interesting gadget. I’ll bet it would allow me to double or triple the number of books on or around my nightstand (actually clean my nightstand off? ha ha ha ha – it is to laugh!).

Later – by way of explanation: I can’t think of sticklebacks without thinking of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, and I can’t think of Mr. Jeremy Fisher without also remembering the “I know a good place” quote (also the title – not coincidentally – of an enjoyable book).
