To my academic, librarian and scholar friends:

I really want to read a copy of The Ceque System of Cuzco:  The Social Organization of the Inca by Tom R. Zuidema (E. J. Brill 1964).  As an archeological book written 50 years ago, I can't find any handy copies in the minuteman system.  What I can find are exorbitant prices on eBay or offers to buy a fairly pricey membership in a scholarly paper archive service.

I just want to read the book.  Does anyone have any suggestions for tracking down a copy?  Thanks in advance.

Went to see The Art of the Brick today.

Went to see The Art of the Brick today.  Impressive stuff, although I think I prefer the replicas of actual art to his original works (which were quite good).  But man, I'd kill for a kit that let you make the Wave or that Aztec serpent in Lego.

I found this article about whales, planets, geography, trans* and mental health issues to be an interesting read.

I found this article about whales, planets, geography, trans* and mental health issues to be an interesting read.  It helped better illuminate my own thinking on the topics.  An engaging article.  I can't vouch for the comments section, but there's a lot of it.
