If you ever buy upton tea you will get a newsletter called "Reversals of Fortune in the Tea Industry" for the rest of your life. Amazing and odd stuff.

1. it doesn't work in firefox

2. in google chrome I got this weird vibe that there was correct input and incorrect input and I really hate it when machines judge me. So I didn't get too far although I think the subject is fascinating.

I had to fire up Chrome to watch it, but thought the content made it worthwhile. They are doing an experiment with non-linearity, and it's inspired by the content of global migration and concurrent histories unfolding in different places; but I can appreciate that this stuff doesn't always work well and isn't everyone's cup of tea. Still, I thought it was interesting and ambitious.:

This website is unusable for me but there is an associated book which takes me to my happy place. None of my libraries has the book, of course, but my wife has access to a large research library so I might still be able to get my hands on it.

Also, "isn't everyone's cup of tea." I see what you did there.
