Not wanting to wait any longer, here are a few posts published by other steemians I especially liked. All of them are still fresh enough to make your upvote count, and I think each of them deserves one. But judge for yourselves:
Keeping Your Money in Your Head: How to Create a Secure Brain Wallet - Store your BitCoins in your Memory by @flauwy
The title of this article promises something very exciting. What could possibly by a safer way to store your funds than in your memory? That way you wouldn't need to carry anything with yourself, not even a simple flash-drive. This comes in super handy when crossing borders, as I'm sure you have heard about how certain countries make you sign declarations of the amount of bitcoins you have, which is clearly none o their business. But this post offers more than just a how-to guide to set up a secure wallet. It provides help in memorizing your key words, which seems to be the expertise of the author, a memory coach. Definitely worth checking out!
Ancient Tools: Before picks and other instruments came the humble digging stick by @gavvet
This next post on archeology deals with an older kind of technology, which used to be cutting edge probably way before a people started taking cutting edges for granted. It is not even for cutting, but digging, before the first spades were even thought up. Essentially, it is a stone with a hole in it, adding the first major upgrade to a simple digging stick. For some reason, these kind of articles always fascinate me, suggesting the myriad of things our ancestors knew how to do and make, with only the simplest technical aid.
Natural Building in a Beautiful Location: Natural Builders Journey #1 Cae Mabon by @hassenmzali
Next up is this lovely article, with lots of awesome pictures, put together by @hassenmzali about an eco-retreat called Cae Mabon, where a variety of naturally built structures can be seen. The author's excitement writing about it is matched only by my own reading it, wishing I was there to see and experience what can be made with natural techniques and materials. From a Celtic roundhouse to a Navajo Hogan, the place is home to a number of building styles. This is only the first post in a series, so we can look forward to more amazing natural building articles by @hassenmzali.
The Secret Lives of Whales: Voting habits of the top 200 Whales - SteemitSQL Analysis by @paulag
This amazing post provided some clear answers to a lot of speculation that has been going on (at least in my circles) regarding the behavior of whales. It is fascinating how these elusive creatures can make or break a post, and thus an entire blogging career of common minnow steemians. Okay, maybe it's not that drastic (… or is it?) Well, this is the question @paulag tries to shed light on, with remarkable success, I'd say. The statistical information she provides speaks for itself. When do whales vote? For what kind of posts? Which authors? Etc... For those interested in digging deeper, following her advice can help you look up your favorite whale and observe their behavior. Happy whale watching with this great post!
Book Review on Vegetarianism: Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer - A book review by @frugallady
Finally, let me end this list with a highly discussed topic: Is it okay to eat (other) animals? Why or why not? Special circumstances? Exceptions? Many people (especially those I know in person) have quite strong opinions on this issue, whether they stand on the pro or con side of it. As my friends are not the only ones in their strong views, it was a given that someone like Jonathan Saran Foer would write a book about it, which @frugallady reviewed so well. I haven't read the book, but I sure do like @frugallady's article. First of all, she's not trying to sway anyone's opinion (which seems to be the same for Foer's book), she's only presenting facts and asking questions, while explaining her personal situation and the options she has. No matter your stance on eating meat, I believe this is a great way to address this potentially heated topic, setting the scene for meaningful exchange of ideas.
hay @stortebeker thank you for the mention
You're welcome! And thanks for writing such a great post.
Excellent Job my friend, Upvoted and resteemed.
Thank you!
Great work you are doing here my mate, finding all these underrated posts, cheers.
Thank you, @anomadsoul. As I mentioned in my first curating post, I really don't like to resteem things, so I rather share them in this way.
Thank you so much for including my review and for your kinds words on it.
Thank you, @frugallady. That's because I really liked it. :-)
