People send me things that put lust in my heart.
I want one of these.
I want some of these, too.

I don't know what's in your heart. I don't know what's in your mind. I don't have direct access to either of those (because I'm a distinct person from you), and if I did, you'd probably feel…

Solar energy is one of the best and most easily implemented options to reduce our use of fossil Carbon based fuels. Never mind that the sun is only up and strong for part of the day, and is often covered by clouds. If you put a few square meters of solar panels on the roof of a residential or…
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute had a giant inflatable squid at their open house:

It was supported by a clear inflated cone. We assumed that was its stomach, and were disappointed when the children weren't sucked up into the mouth and dropped into the innards. *sigh*
(I didn't upload the photos that show the squid more fully, as they just weren't all that good. But I'm willing. :) )

The octopi kite look like they are from the annual Berkeley Kite Festival. Very fun if you are ever in Berkeley CA in late July/early August
