POPSHis kid took these! Pretty interesting photos by a three-year-old. (That's a fun idea. Maybe I should ask my three-year-old cousin what pictures he'd take.)

POPSMore OLPC's means more kids and parents educated "In Uruguay the parents wait for the kids to go to bed so they can use the laptops. So you saw people move to rural communities… so their kids could take advantage of . In Rwanda the families brought electricity to the schools so that the kids could keep using the laptops." I find that really cool. :) Yay for OLPC!

POPSAudeo - Think to Talk I first read about this in this month's Reader's Digest, which says that an Audeo device for telephones is in the works. That one would help ward off eavesdroppers, considering that you would no longer have to say anything aloud into the phone.

POPSRAWR, MOMMY! Six years ago, Ana Torres rescued a malnourished lion from a circus and nursed him back to health. When he got too big for the animal shelter, she sent him to a local zoo. She still visits him every day -- check out how he greets her.

POPSHow to Write Aphorisms Delacroix, Eugene (France, 1798-1863) To be a poet at twenty is to be twenty; to be a poet at forty is to be a poet. According to James Geary, editor of the compendium Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists , a truely memorable, quotable aphorism satisfies five laws: It must be brief. It must be definitive. It must be personal — that's the difference between an aphorism and a proverb. It must be philosophical — that's the difference between an aphorism and a platitude, which is not philosophical.... And the fifth law is it must have a twist. And that can be either a linguistic twist or a psychological twist or even a twist in logic that somehow flips the reader into a totally unexpected place. Now you know, so get to work! :)
