I have an answer, I think, but it's not one that would be accepted by everyone. I shall have to find the time to write it up. - Alun Salt

More on rock art in the SW. I really need to read some better stuff on Greek art and see if there's some useful cross-over in approaches. - Alun Salt

An open source camera might open a space for meaningfully comparing different photos for archaeology - and any other image-based disciplines. - Alun Salt

I thought I'd found a niche for Posterous in my web-use here. Somewhere between Twitter and full-length response posts the blog. In fact Postalicious and Google Reader seem to have filled that gap, by taking brief comments like these for Google Reader and then later compiling them into one post for the weblog. - Alun Salt

I'm a big fan of the Digital Cuttlefish. The poems tend to be whimsy with teeth. - Alun Salt

This is pretty much why I moved from being a meme enthusiast to being unimpressed. Though it was the Aunger book "Darwinizing Culture" that changed my mind in my case. John Wilkins explains the problems much better than I would. - Alun Salt

Gambler's House has more news on the criminal investigations in the American Southwest, this time in Arizona. - Alun Salt

I've read various papers on corvid tool use, but even so it never ceases to be astonishing. - Alun Salt

Wolfram Alpha is still not a search engine, but it might still be useful for all that. - Alun Salt

Pic App has a series of photos of the ancient necklace. Is it really a stunning find or just all torc? Sadly I won't have time to blog on this. - Alun Salt

"As a note, one of the problems about writing a post about the edge of libel law is that it sits on the edge of libel law. That means I can't have comments which cross over the line. I couldn't if I lived in the USA, because of the ridiculous reach of the English libel laws. I doubly can't seeing as I actually live in the UK. This is why I've had to delete a comment. I'm sorry if anyone doesn't like where I'm putting that line, but if it is a problem then I'd recommend setting up an account at wordpress.com." - Alun Salt

Clearly I need to write faster, but I can't blog on Paul Cartledge's work as I'd like to till proper work is done. I was negative but became more positive when I saw his meet the authors bit on YouTube. David Meadows thinks the answer is blogging, and I agree but there is more. I'll stop short here else I'll just be writing out the blog post here instead. - Alun Salt from Bookmarklet
