Assorted Links (Summer 2024)

This summer has been very busy with work and family life, so I haven't had much time for writing. The title of this post, set when I started putting it together, reflects this. This blog is not defunct, however, so I wanted to at least share a link

Assorted Links (Winter 2024)

Previously. Let's start with a few links related to current events. Scroll down for stuff that's less timely but of more enduring interest if you're reading this page sometime not in the winter of 2024. * This winter has seen (large and at times intense)

Assorted Links (Summer 2023)

It's been a year since my last links post. Tried to squeeze this one in while it's still technically summer. This one has more video content than previous ones. I'll start with something I wrote elsewhere: a guest post for an online book club

Assorted Links (Summer 2022)

Wow, it's been 5 months or so since my last post. I'm still here—in fact, I have 10 or more posts at some level of draft but time to write has been in short supply—and I hope to publish a bit more in this

Assorted Links (Winter 2022)

Time for another [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-summer-2021/] links post. This time around, I'm trying an approach of more links but shorter descriptions than usual. First of all, I wanted to share an essay I had published elsewhere: "Deepfakes and digital resurrections [https://medium.com/faithtech/deepfakes-and-digital-resurrections-dbbc5bad24bb]

It seems like a good time for another [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-winter-2021/] links post. To start with some good news, lumber prices [https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lumber] seem to be returning to normal (compared to what I remarked on [https://danbscott.ghost.io/kitchen-cart/] 6 months ago).

Assorted Links (Winter 2021)

I like to save up interesting links I find that are related to themes I've covered here on my blog, and then share them periodically [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-spring-2020/]. To start with, here's a chart [https://mathmap.quantamagazine.org/map] mapping the current state of

Assorted Links (Spring 2020)

I like to share interesting links I've collected on a somewhat regular [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-fall-2019/] basis. It seemed especially timely when many people could be looking for things to read while stuck at home to slow the spread of COVID-19. I won't spend this

Assorted Links (Fall 2019)

A couple of times per year [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-spring-2019/], I like to share some links I've collected—especially if they relate to topics I've blogged about. It seemed like a decent way to (try) getting back [https://danbscott.ghost.io/hiatus-announcement/] into posting. There

Assorted Links (Spring 2019)

It's a new season (even if it did snow here this week), which seems like a good time for another [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-fall-2018/] links post. (I'm quite busy with my job right now, so this will probably be the last post until around Easter—

Now and then [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-spring-2018/], I like to share some links I've been saving up, especially ones that relate to topics I've blogged about before.

I decided to take a break from my programming series [https://danbscott.ghost.io/week-5-erlang/] this week (and probably next week [https://danbscott.ghost.io/st-paul/] too). Like back in the fall [https://danbscott.ghost.io/assorted-links-fall-2017/], I've got some links saved up that are related to things

Assorted Links (Fall 2017)

Last week I was in a conference in Chicago [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_-cUdmdWgU]. I plan to write about it later this month, but for this week I just wanted to share some miscellaneous links (mostly related to things I've written about previously) that I&

From time to time, I like to read a journal article and share a review. Toward the end of this post you can also find some related and random links. "The Water-Energy-Food Nexus and the Transboundary Context: Insights from Large Asian Rivers", by Keskinen, Guillaume, Kattelus, Porkka, Räsänen,

If my count is correct, this is my 150th post on this blog. I wanted to mark the milestone. Also, I don't plan to have a post next week, so happy Easter to all my readers. To look back on the past 3+ years (2014 [https://danbscott.ghost.

One Week Later

My apologies for not having a post last week. My job is very busy these days, and on top of that I was on the road last week. I've got some good ideas to write about before the end of the year—hopefully I can find the time.

Outdoor Adventures

Links about Walking

For this week, I just have a short post with some links I've come across recently related to hiking and walkable cities (a topic I've written about before [https://danbscott.ghost.io/pedestrian-friendly-cities/]). Strong Towns [http://www.strongtowns.org/] has some ideas about making more walkable

For this week's post, I just have a couple of links to share. About art. I was asked to share a link to Artsy [http://www.artsy.net/]. It is a website with news on galleries (art museums and commercial galleries), shows, and art that is available for

Sorry there hasn't been a post here for awhile. This week I just have a few random links—but hopefully some interesting ones—but I'm planning what should be a very interesting book review for my next post. One of my previous posts [https://danbscott.ghost.

This post is a collection of a few links related to the Saint John River. First of all, Canoe Kayak New Brunswick [http://www.canoekayaknb.com/], which I'm pleased to be involved with, has a great new website. Take a look! A related thing of interest is this

I was pretty tired this weekend, and away the weekend before that, but now I'm back with a post that I hope was worth the wait. The Alberta provincial government has a very useful online portal called the Alberta Economic Dashboard [http://economicdashboard.albertacanada.com/]. (It's

I recently returned from a trip to the US Pacific Northwest. It was a great time. This post is about my time in Portland, Oregon; expect other posts on Seattle and Olympic National Park later. This is Pioneer Square in downtown Portland. With the prevalence of red brick, along with

I recently came across a website called Visual Capitalist [http://www.visualcapitalist.com] that has a lot of interesting infographics on economics and related topics.

This post is a brief one; I'm sharing links to a site—well, a section of a site—that I find to be an interesting place to pass some time. For most of the articles on Vox.com [http://www.vox.com/], I'm pretty indifferent towards
