this was a good week

This was a good week -- here's why:

•  I got a lot of work done this week, and I took a walk in the woods with Marcus on a beautiful spring day. All good.

•  A robot solves a Rubik's Cube in 0.38 seconds.  I don't even know how to begin to comprehend this.

•  Melting potatoes?  Yes, please.

•  Vintage camper birdhouses.  I mean, I kind of might need this for the patio of our new place, don't you think?

•  I might have to get one of these pocket museums -- aren't they lovely?

•  A non-commencement address.  So lovely.

•  And finally, for today's "soundtrack," this film:  an animation created by stitching together images from Google maps, created by Ireland-based artist Páraic McGloughlin.  Click here or the image below to watch.
