Growing Up In BanderaRemembering how we set up the old coffee percolator the night before for a quick morning plug-in was pretty nifty but doesn't compare to all the new contraptions we have available today for brewing a cup of joe.

Another one of those simple little pleasures of days gone by.

It’s all about animal crackers. |

Effectively ElenaWhile I was out walking this morning it came to me suddenly that if I could find a way to perpetually walk from East to West, I could increase productivity because I’d be striding against the earth’s rotation. In other words, I could make the laws of physics work in my favor; the sheer mass of the world moving under my feet will heighten my productivity.
