For this round of Miscellaneous Findings, we have a few web dev odds and ends.
This is a roundup of miscellaneous things that I’ve found out about (or have rediscovered).

Things Fall Apart and King of the Hill
I finished reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It’s a book that’s in high school curriculums (my partner Katt read it in high school), but I just heard about it on a non-profit’s staff page (that I can’t find anymore), oddly.
There’s a personal story in it, as well as a systems story in it.

The Spirits of the Founding Fathers
In the novel Things Fall Apart, the people in village of Umuofia practice ancestor worship. When it is time for a trial to settle a dispute between two villagers, judges come out dressed as the spirits of the mythical founders of the clan, complete with smoke rising from their masks. Their true identities are obscured, and they are addressed as the spirits they portray.
