      <description><![CDATA[<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.bryanbraun.com/2019/11/02/music-box-fun/">Bryan Braun on his Music Box Fun project</a> — quite enjoyed this (and it makes me want to make something similar, which is always a good sign)</li>
<li><a href="https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2020/09/15/working-out-loud/">Doug Belshaw on working in public</a> — great thoughts</li>
<li><a href="https://mango.pdf.zone/finding-former-australian-prime-minister-tony-abbotts-passport-number-on-instagram">Alex Hope on finding Tony Abbott’s passport number on Instagram</a> — a long read but oh is it hilarious and delightful</li>
<li><a href="https://justinehsmith.substack.com/p/the-internet-is-not-what-you-think">Justin E. H. Smith on the philosophy of the Internet</a> — fascinating throughout</li>
<li><a href="https://www.bryanbraun.com/2020/08/31/how-searching-for-a-bundle-free-react-led-me-to-web-components/">Bryan Braun (again) on web components</a> — the past few years I’ve avoided frontend dev (I’m allergic to unnecessary stack complexity), but this post gives me hope</li>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Recent reads:</p>
<p><em>Prisoners of Geography</em>, by Tim Marshall. This was my first foray into geopolitics, and I really liked it. Looking forward to Robert Kaplan’s <em>Revenge of Geography</em> as well.</p>
<p><em>Tubes</em>, by Andrew Blum. A look into the infrastructure of the Internet. It’s easy to forget about all the wires when we live in a somewhat wireless age, so I appreciated the reminder.</p>
<p><em>Moon Shot</em>, by Jay Barbree. The story of the early American space program, running through the end of the Apollo missions and a bit beyond. I loved it.</p>
<p><em>Word by Word</em>, by Kory Stamper. A delightful book about lexicography at Merriam-Webster.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Recent reads: Prisoners of Geography, by Tim Marshall.
