Happy January, and welcome to issue 001 of Links and Things.
It exists courtesy of the people in my life who have politely asked (hounded) me to share my frequent curious find more widely.
Links and Things will be published monthly and in it you will find everything from articles, art, videos, books, places to be or see, and whatever other treasures I have come across.
Think of this as a cabinet of curiosities, a virtual wunderkammer, with free entry.
I've always been a tapas kind of person, preferring a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Therefore, you can expect to find not many discernible patterns in what I share beyond the fact that I love books.
