We are all connected

A couple of good videos. This second one has got me watching Cosmos. I'd suggest checking it out. Carl Sagan is very poetic. via Symphony of Science

Razzmatazz

A month! I can't believe it. I've had this little girl for a month already. -- I took some pictures of her yesterday to commemorate the occasion. Now about Raya ... she is funny :), I love watching her personality emerge more and more each day. In all seriousness this girl is outrageous, for one -- her tongue, she's crazy about the thing; two -- she's a little boombox, she snorts and guffaws, and makes all these guttural noises I don't know how to begin to describe; three -- she's very particular, whatever you do don't clean her hands! It is apparently the most unbearable form of punishment; four -- I'm just going to say it, she's got gas, she's like a horn, any forced movement and she squeaks; five -- she has the most amazing smile. by golly I love this little girl.

Raya hair

So with Raya's hair starting to fall out I decided to cut off a lock. Being the super-scientist that I am, I took the hair into the electron microscopy center where I TA. I gold-coated and imaged her hair with the scanning electron microscope. How many kids can have THESE pictures in their baby book????
