In the Uncertain Dots hangout the other day, Rhett and I went off on a tangent about the physics of the Olympics, specifically the luge. If you're not familiar with this, it's basically psycho sledding: people riding tiny little sleds down a curved track at 80mph. The "featured image" above shows…

That is one super-cute kid doing amazing things! It is so much fun watching her growing up and seeing what we have to look forward to as our little girl follows along behind. Wheee!!!!
