Have you ever watched a sports broadcast where the camera zooms out so far that the players look like ants? They call it a “fantage point,” which I guess is supposed to offer us an eagle’s view of the action. Instead, what we get is a glorified bug […]
NASA’s Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams went up for a week and ended up floating in space for more than nine months. Can you imagine? They probably packed for a brief adventure, maybe a few freeze-dried meals, some cool space jumps, and instead got stranded in the cosmos. […]
“I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It must be wonderful—one that can dance, fence, and turn somersaults.” Now that is a quote that gets my mind spinning. I recently heard it while watching an episode of Grimm, and it struck me with its whimsical, slightly […]
So, here we are again. Monday is looming large, and I’m left wondering: Where did the weekend go? I swear I just blinked, and poof—it disappeared like one of those magic tricks where you’re convinced the magician has some sort of time-bending power. But no, it’s just me, […]

Monday mornings tend to have us daydreaming, right? Today, I found myself fixated on black-billed magpies. Yes, magpies! These little birds are seriously underrated.
