FLAUNT IT


Until that magical day comes when all electronics are wireless, we are forced to deal with extension cords. Instead of being ashamed of these necessary evils, why not turn them into Art?

HEART BEET


SWEET MURMURATIONS

You never know what you will see when you go on an adventure. On a canoe outing, Sophie Windsor Clive and Liberty Smith happened upon "one of nature's greatest and most fleeting phenomena" that I never even knew existed - a flock of starlings, known as a murmuration. It appears to be a magnificently choreographed dance, but it is completely spontaneous.

"The math equations that best describe starling movement are borrowed 'from the literature of "criticality," of crystal formation and avalanches -- systems poised on the brink, capable of near-instantaneous transformation.' They call it 'scale-free correlation,' and it means that no matter how big the flock, 'If any one bird turned and changed speed, so would all the others.' "

51 LOVE STORIES




"A heart made of 51 books on love. From the love of Botany to paperbacks with covers of cheesy illustrated chest baring Fabio looking men on top of a mountain with their lover grasping their leg in a torn gown. Those were the books your one Aunt in the family would read one after another."
