Lions for Lambs

Watched a Robert Redford film tonight. Lions for Lambs.
It reminded me of the adage:
Evil only triumphs when good men do nothing.

Verdant

If you live in the desert, it's hard to grow green grass.
I wonder,then, if that's true of the mind ?

Awesome New Technology

OK. Listen up folks. This is the best new technology invention since someone dreamed up cotton candy. For those with an ipad or iphone, it's a free download.
I love magic and this is MAGICAL !!!
Find it at http://www.aurasma.com
Now, if you don't believe me, go to
http://blog.ted.com/2012/07/19/go-ahead-and-give-augmented-reality-a-test-drive/#more-60803
and check out its capabilities.
What does it do ??? It turns a flat surface, like the NY Times newspaper (printed page) into a 3-D movie !!!
... Or . . . . museum paintings into 3-D movies (art museums will never be "dull" again!!! )
AND SO MUCH MORE !!!
For teachers, it will mind-boggle your students !!! (A great teaching tool !)
I found this app yesterday and am blown away by what it will do !!!

Tin Foil Cap

Read, in the Washington Post this morning, another fellow commenting on an article and using the expression: tin foil cap.
Rather like calling someone a dunce or an idiot (both words describe the person to whom the commentator was referring); but with way cooler language.
Thought that was a pretty cool expression !

A Series of " What If "

Can something be optional and dispersible simultaneously?
Perhaps suppositionally so !
