As we get into March, posts on Folderol will be a little hit and miss, except for March Mammal Madness recaps. However, we're ending February on this very cool story about a Roman mosaic (with Celtic influences, perhaps?) recently discovered in London. In related news, the Museum of London Archaeology looks amazing.

Hello and happy Friday!
From my mom: This looks like a great place to visit. I'm especially intrigued by the secret room behind the bookcase!
Ernie Smith has a great piece about keeping focus in the middle of everything that's going on around us right now.
And to finish off, Florence and the Machine have a new song to take us into the weekend. Have a safe and spiffy time, everyone. See you next week.

The March Mammal Madness is beginning! The servers are a bit overloaded at the moment, but the information is (eventually) there.

Happy Friday!
It's been a busy week here, so just one link today. You may have seen the video of a former ballerina remembering her choreography before, but many details were wrong. Here's the story of Marta Gonzales and her dance career, plus the video of her later years which went viral a while ago.
Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. See you next week.

By now, you have probably heard of Wordle. But have you heard of Worldle, the game which shows you the silhouette of a country and gives you guesses, with hints about how far away your guess is and from which direction? No? Then go check it out!

Apparently, an ad during the Super Bowl featured a QR Code that people could scan straight off the TV. Enough people tried it that it crashed the database. But, more importantly, doesn't this remind people of Silver Shamrock? Don't scan random QR codes, people!

Tis the season for snowplows. Do yours have names? Minnesota recently named a few of theirs, and I really like Ctrl-Salt-Delete.

Happy February. We're all watching the skies for oncoming weather craziness, but here's something nice and nostalgic. Put in your location and be transported back in time to the early '90s or so, listening to the Weather Channel before it was taken over by, well, everything modern.
