  14. I almost bought some gorgeous and huge Ukrainian jewellery made from woven rocailles, which I don't have the opportunity to wear. So I went back to hoarding colours at our Festival of Wool and Yarn. Again, I couldn't resist the vintage bobbins. More in the AltText.
    Are there more people who hoard colours against grey realities? 😎 🌈

  19. I love #kids. Always doing things their predecessors couldn’t. For the prize of $1 million he’s changed our knowledge of history.

    “Farritor, then enrolled as a computer science major, learned Latin as a kid and used to spend hours in history museums, but he never considered the classics an especially lucrative pursuit. That was until he heard about the Vesuvius Challenge.”

  20. Behold! The First Readable Passages From The Charred #Scrolls of #Vesuvius sciencealert.com/behold-the-fi A worldwide competition to decipher the #charred texts of the #VillaofPapyri – an ancient #Roman mansion destroyed by the eruption of #MountVesuvius – has revealed a timeless infatuation with the pleasures of #music, the color #purple, and, of course, the zingy taste of #capers.

  21. "On Monday, Nat Friedman, a US tech executive and founding sponsor of the challenge, announced that a team of three computer-savvy students, Youssef Nader in Germany, Luke Farritor in the US, and Julian Schilliger in Switzerland, had won the $700,000 (£554,000) grand prize after reading more than 2,000 Greek letters from the scroll."

  22. #NatFriedman was the CEO of #Github form 2018 to 2021. Before that he started and sold two companies - Ximian and Xamarin. He is also the founder of #AIGrant and CA YIMBY. Most recently he created, funded #VesuviusChallenge - $1M prize for reading an unopened #Herculaneum #scroll for the very first time. If we can uncover these #scrolls, we may be able to recover lost #gospels, forgotten #epics, and missing works of #Aristotle. #VesuviusChallenge : scrollprize.org/ #EpicurianTradition
