Episode 97 – An octopus grows old eating
John and Helena join Mel and Kelly again providing a podcast jammed full with FOUR recommendations. No extra charge.
Unlike LAST week, there are no jerks in this episode.
Mel’s Recommendation:
Book/Art: Walking Your Octopus by Brian Kesinger
* No, that is not code for something…
* It’s a Victorian Steampunk book with very charming art prints featuring Victoria and Otto, her pet land octopus.
* It features loads of tips on living with your pet octopus and would make a great gift for the Steampunk fan in your life.
* Check out bkartonline.com and go to the shop section to get your own.
Helena’s Recommendation:
Website: PlanToEat.com
* A Recipe Management and Menu-Planning site that does just what it says… It helps you Plan what To Eat for the week.
* It has the ability to import recipes from other websites and generate your shopping list.
* It does require some money, but at about $39/yr, it’s a pretty good deal.
John’s Recommendation:
Book: NPIC Seeing the Secrets Growing the Leaders by Jack O’Connor
* NPIC is about the National Photographic Interpretation Center where John actually worked.
* It’s a fascinating story of the creation of a key member of the intelligence community and their not as glamorous as “Homeland” work.
* Think Cuban Missile Crisis and the Chernobyl Meltdown.
Kelly’s Recommendation:
Website: How-Old.net
* Don’t call it Artificial Intelligence anymore folks…. it’s now called Machine Learning.
* You input your name, and it pulls up some photos and guesses your age. This could be scary or terribly funny…
* Do you dare “Get a Human Opinion?”
Social Media Recommendations:
Helena: @atlasobscura: If you like giant flaming holes in the ground..
A get-rich-quick scheme from 17th-c. Iceland involved wearing a dead man’s skin like pants http://t.co/oZ8LgStxjd pic.twitter.com/E5OeKOXdg0

John: Hunting-henry.tumblr.com: Henry is an Airedale. He travels. He might be magical. Try to find him wherever he travels. Kelly: @henderson_trina: She’s an artist who also likes to livetweet some Gotham!
