    wow, i’m ALSO reading A Guide to Bird Icon Mapping on the Macauly Library Taxonomy Tree! I mean, wow, what are the odds? But then again, it’s just such good beach reading. Light, fluffy, trashy. Everything I look for in a summer read.

    Snarkily yours,

    I KNOW! Isn’t it the BEST?!? I love the bit where the different taxonomies contradict each other and can’t be integrated into a single interactive JavaScript tree. What a page-turner.
