** The Curious Corner #14
Well, hello there! Welcome to another edition of the Curious Corner for your enjoyment. In this edition you’ll find things about vinyl, calendars and hackers.
Oh and a little news! We’re past 250 subscribers, that’s awesome! To celebrate it, I’ve build a new landing page at: http://curious.jplattel.nl/. Check it out, and share it with friends if you please!
I also wanted to give you a surprise, which is a little booklet containing every link I’ve shared in the first 12 editions of the Curious Corner, scroll down for the awesome download button! * Algorithms working (http://reverseocr.tumblr.com/) on algorithms… * I’m loving startups (http://ginkgobioworks.com/foundry/) that redefine how we do research. * The books by Iain M. Banks feature a lot of spacecraft. Especially with nice names (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series) . * I read Nautilus (http://nautil.us/) every month. It’s on my list of in depth reading. * This month is national writing month, but there’s been a change of plans. Algorithms are in charge now!
