Some Friday Quick Hits and Varia

It's been a busy week!

But too many fun web discoveries to pass up on a quick hits and varia.

• The Staffordshire Hoard.  Pretty amazing stuff and with all the recent interest in Late Antique/Early Medieval trade, this hoard is certain to contribute in some way to broader conversations about the earliest European economy.
• Making Map: DIY Cartography.  Kostis Kourelis turned me onto this blog with it's slight edge of punk-ness via the DIY ethos.
• The Sound of Phillippe Starck as a 24 hour stream. 
• The Graduate School Blog here at UND has been particular productive lately.  They have embraced blogging better than any other division on campus.
• The photographs coming from the Australian dust storm are amazing.  As is this satellite image.
• Be sure to check out Teaching Thursday.
• Things are coming together for the exhibition of Ryan Stander photographs.  Keep your eyes on this spot.

Have a good weekend!
