Interesting Article of the Day - Dr. Grandin

After talking to my Mom about how much she enjoyed the Temple Grandin movie, I Googled Dr. G and her Hug Machine. That led me to this odd, but interesting, article about "infinite" machines that allow you to do mundane, but enjoyable, tasks over and over again. Popping bubble wrap is one example.

One a more serious note, here is Dr. Grandin's Feb 2010 talk at TED. It runs for about 20 minutes.

Making Yarn

Here is my test sample of the yarn I am currently making:

Craigslist Saved the Day

I donated several bags of stuff to MS today. MS wouldn't take my old TV/VCR - they said it was too old!
I posted my old TV/VCR and an overgrown Pygmy Date Palm on Craigslist and by the end of the day both were gone. Hooray!
It was a good day.
