Vincent Kohler’s Turnaround Series of Artful »
Baseball is the quintessential American game. In fact, many non-Yanks I know, look at the game, and wonder at its pace, its simplicity, its invisible complexity, and scratch their heads.

The robot attracted an actual flock of seagulls during a test flight at TEDGlobal 2011, the annual five-day technology conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. With obvious applications for policing and spying, the video of this device [...]
BirdProject : Restore The Gulf Habitat Bird by Bird »
It's a little daunting sometimes, the sheer volume of things to be conscious of. Global warming, the global economy, the state of the environment, the BP Oil Spill...remember that, the BP Oil Spill of April 20, 2010...and its aftermath?
