I didn’t know this: In Antarctica, the color of the water is so blue not because it is cleaner, but because there are huge deposits of ice underneath it. Makes sense…
True story:
Prospective client: $400 for a logo?! Why are you so expensive? My nephew has Photoshop—I can just get him to do it.
Me: Does your nephew have Microsoft Word?
Prospective client: Yes.
Me: Then have him write you a novel while he’s at it.

Gives me hope
When my mom was dying of cancer, my dad had to keep working to keep his health insurance. His mid-size company has a program by which employees can transfer paid time off to one another. A person in HR sent out an email explaining his situation. Within 3 hours, my father had 12 weeks of paid vacation. Strangers’ sacrifices.

Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”, and is considered one of the hardest words to translate. It describes “a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.”

This is another view from a photo I posted earlier. On the right hand side you can see an orange area which is the center of the flower. You can also see a couple of white petals in the background. All of the waterdrops are acting as a natural lens, and refracting that same flower.

The interior cavity is designed to melt without affecting the outer wall, providing the user with hours of priceless light-bulb-shaped-candle fun.

The Antiquarium Wormhole
During the learning stage, the mahouts generally select the colors and determine when a painting is finished. They teach the elephants how to hold the brush, and a number of mahouts have also customized their paintbrushes, adding bamboo handles that are easier for the elephants to grip.
Elephant painting of the northern, or Lampang school tends to be lyrical and expressive, characterized by broken brushwork, curvilinear forms, and bold, clear, primary colors. In the central Thai, or Ayutthaya school, elephants and mahouts prefer darker, cooler colors such as deep violet, black, and forest green, which they apply with broad, vigorous brushstrokes that sweep across the canvas from edge to edge. Elephants of the southern, or Phuket school tend toward saturated tertiary colors like mustard, plum, and magenta, mixed on the surface of the paper with broad, gentle, curvy brushstrokes.
This is quite amazing.
