Have you noticed that museums are more often revealing their behind-the-scenes processes? One of my favorites recently was seeing the arms and armor shop at the Met, via a visit from Adam Savage. But this one caught my eye today. I love Calder's mobiles and am impressed at the care taken here.

A few weeks ago I posted an adult bark roach (Lanxoblatta rudis) and today I'm posting its super flat nymph. The "starry night" look is a teneral stage right after molting and before camouflage pigmentation appears. You can also see the network of tracheal tubes responsible for respiration.

Shout-out to one of my fav Ukrainian businesses: Tower Rex makes great custom organizers for board games—like this one, for Rising Sun. Took time to assemble, but it beautifully holds all minis and expansions. Reduced the set by three boxes and makes setup easier. Came to me from Kyiv. towerrex.com

The book featured here, "Playing Place" (not a great title, IMO), is a fun read of short essays. I picked up bits of board game history and it made me think about the extent of impact this medium can have.

Teaching OS map symbols? Great fun activity idea. Ask students to imagine they own an island which they would love to live on. Get them to draw it but only using OS map symbols. They love this and it allows them to explore symbols in detail. #Geography #geographyteacher #osmaps

Wowzas! What an update. I like the use of triangle pieces in formation to emulate the graphic. Rebuilds are so nice to see. And those plain smiley faces! But I agree with my friend's critique that it looks awkward for "grab-and-swoosh." Original did too though.

Someone needs to do a Google Maps, but for the past. For example, typing in "London to York" but you can select a period e.g. 1450s, and it would give you the likeliest route. That'd be great.

vintage book jacket for "Housing Design" by Eugene Henry Klaber. Publisher: Reinhold. The only art on the cover is a jumble of rectangular shapes in olive green and brown, sometimes overlapping, on a white field. These shapes echo some of the floorplans of Klaber's apartment towers. Simple black text is centered over the art.

The folks behind this new book have also been running workshops for children. Their site includes free downloadable workbooks and guidelines for events. a4kids.org/book/city/ It would be interesting to see a LEGO interpretation; seems a natural material for some of the prompts.
