Anatomy of a Scam...
My crafty daughters wrote these fake notes and told the babysitter that they were "instructions from Mom" (e.g. "kids may stay up late"). Note Willa's first attempt (with typos), later improved upon by Olivia (in cursive).
Great books
Jared M. Diamond: Guns, Germs, and Steel
History as a Darwinian process.Geoffrey A. Moore: Inside the Tornado
We're all competing in tornadoes these days.Boyce Rensberger: Life Itself
Biology as nanomachines. Blew my mind.Steven Pinker: The Blank Slate
Required reading for parents.David Brin: The Transparent Society
As is often the case, the first 2 chapters are all you need to read. An exciting, alarming, and realistic view of the the future.
