[links] Link salad for an Egyptian Sunday
A reader reviews The Solaris Book of New Fantasy — Including a positive but mixed reaction to my short story, “A Man Falls”.
Van Gogh’s Color Schemes Served as Pie Charts — Art guru James Gurney with a curious way of looking at paintings. I suppose this would be not unlike doing a wordle of an author’s stories.
Gibbous Europa — Another striking image from APOD, plus the new-to-me term “hydrobot“.
The Last Victorian Leviathan Steam Ship — An older Dark Roasted Blend piece on the Great Eastern. Your steam has been punk’d.
Mumbling While Cairo Burns — Scrivener’s Error with some interesting thoughts on Mubarak, Egypt, and the transitions of democracy.
Egypt’s Class Conflict — Juan Cole on the power structures in Egypt, with a good dose of recent Egyptian history for those wishing to get caught up.
