This is your brain, (not) on radiation

 
Friends, I like your brains. That's why I'm sending you this: a not-at-all-for-sure-but-possibly radiation blocking cell phone case.

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

-Dalai Lama

Throw your dream into space like a kite

Throw your dream into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, or a new country. 

-Anais Nin, author (1903-1977)

This week is the annual Washington State International Kite Festival, which includes a competition AND choreographed kite flying. That seems like something to see.
