Instead, this turned into a list of all the various computer and video game systems I own that… Continue reading Useless lists: Computer stuff
Library of Alexandria discovered
This is big: Library of Alexandria discovered. Archaeologists have found what they believe to be the site of the Library of Alexandria, often described as the world’s first major seat of learning. A Polish-Egyptian team has excavated parts of the Bruchion region of the Mediterranean city and discovered what look like lecture halls or… Continue reading Library of Alexandria discovered
