I never knew - okay, I never gave much thought to - why leaves fall off trees. I came upon this post on NPR, and it satisfied my general love of knowing random facts about random things, complete with a little etymology and biology thrown in for good measure. If nothing else, check it out for the gorgeous plant cell photo midway through the article. Just lovely.

I had no idea.

Ohio IS a piano!

Or, why I love the internet.

There's something awesome..

..about a world in which I'm being paid to teach art classes and take a dog running with me 4 days per week.

(I'm feeling lucky today.)

Have a great weekend, everyone.

It's a Rad, Rad, Rad, Rad World.

I'm sososososo excited about this! I was twittering today and noticed a Photojojo tweet about the launch of their new virtual time capsule! The time capsule links with your flickr account and sends, every three months, a photo that you took/uploaded a year prior. How 1. completely simple, and 2. totally awesome. I signed up as fast as my fingers could type (or click, really - it's incredibly easy - a click and a typing in of an email address), and can't wait to be surprised on Sept. 1 with an email containing photos I've very likely forgotten about. Sign up here.
