This week’s central theme was bronchitis. A little personal health issue that was more persistent and challenging than I would have liked, messing up my sleep, and screwing up the work program. Hopefully, resting up over Shabbat will see off the worst of the effects, and I can get back to living (and breathing) a routine of some sort. On the plus side, I did get to do some more reading than normal. I have discovered a new top-notch crime/thriller writer, and will try and get a review done in the next week or so.
To keep to the basics, however, I am able to offer the usual weekly selection of links. Here they are:
- Egyptian flooding drowns Gaza’s tunnel business
- How Etgar Keret”s latest book got translated into Persian
- ‘Name of shop is Hitler and I like him because he was the most anti Jewish person’
- Remember, remember: the truth about Guy Fawkes
- Top FBI lawyer: You win, we’ve given up on encryption backdoors
Shabbat Shalom!
PS: the picture is something new I am trying out. Each Five for Friday, I am going to try and lead off with a photo I have taken. No connection to the content (unless by accident) is intended; just something to look at.
