TEDtalk Thursday: Traffic Jams of the past and future

So...this guy is Bill Ford...Henry Ford's great-grandson, and also distant relation of someone with the last name of "Firestone" (coincidentally). To be honest, he kinda rambles a bit, and sounds a bit like he's reciting a speech. If you're looking for the bit about traffic, I'd just go ahead and skip to about 7 minutes in. For now, I'll leave this here (because I've had a long day and it's 1am already and because tomorrow is going to be a long day too), and do a small review before I have to come up with more content for Florence Friday. Maybe I'll just do THAT at work.  =) Also, someone did a kinectic typography thing that makes the beginning of this talk WAYYYY more interesting: Happy TEDtalk Thursday!

TEDtalk Tuesday: Now on Thursdays

Given that this is a new year, I think I should be allowed to dictate a new schedule! I officially decree that we're going to do an experiment. TEDtalk tuesdays will now be on Thursdays...and fingers crossed that this will allow me to keep up with things. This is only temporary! (unless it works, of course) I've added about 9 hrs a week of vball to my new schedule, and usually there are team dinners afterwards, and therefore I've begun a new crazy habit of coming home around 11:30 on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (my vball days). And while I would normally be fine doing a late (and typical!) blogsfrombed post, I just can't handle 3am mornings when I have to play hard later on (and get up for the internship...please note the new internship zombie hours). SO, without further time or sleep wasted, please expect this week's TEDtalk Tuesday...on Thursday.  =) Happy frigid Tuesday, everyone! Cross your fingers that we get snow soon, or all this cold is SO not worth...
