Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
What I find interesting is how the exhibit is attractive because of artifacts that are in no way essential to the exhibit. Quite frankly I could have learned as much if I hadn’t see a single scrap of scroll. And yet, since I could learn even more by reading a book or visiting some websites on the topic, where would the fun in be in that?
For most humans there is some illogical seemingly magical quality involved in artifacts that probably is related to the desire to eat “authentic” food and listen to “real” music. Maybe it isn’t the best quality, but it certainly isn’t one of our worst. posted by micah holmquist at 2/17/2003 09:31:00 PM
