What Interested Me This Week

Thanks to Janiece, I discovered both Lindsey Stirling AND Pentatonix

Here they are doing a cover of Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive, which blew me away:

Once you watch that, go check out some of Lindsey Stirling’s videos, if you haven’t seem them before.

I’m currently listening to Sergei Lukyanenko’s Night Watch, which I re-read over the summer.

It’s somewhat odd, in that it’s narrated by Paul Michael, who has an American accent, but all the dialog is read with Russian accents. What makes this especially odd is the story is written in first person, so it seems like Anton is thinking in an American accent, but speaking in a Russian accent.

It’s not bad, and I love the stories, but it takes some getting used to.

Are you on Pinterest? I use it for a place to stash things I might like to come back to. Like these color photos from 100 years ago:

I’d found that article back when it first came out, then forgot about it, and so was overjoyed to find it again. Now I have a link to it on Pinterest.

Have I mentioned Gravity Glue before? If not, it’s an amazing site. He balances rocks.

No. Really. He does.

And it’s amazing.

And I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but The Oatmeal is genius.
