Wednesday Cool Links: Light Stuff, Edibl...
Solar botics
October 25, 2012
As of early September the trees learned how to shed leaves. They were so graceful and efficient, that I start to wonder if they have an MFA in Shedding Leaves. Now, the question is - did they create this white stuff that now lies on the ground as well? Because if they did, they didn’t do a very good job with it. The substance looks messy, it sticks to the shoes, hardens and then melts - only to harden again in most uncomfortable shapes. I hope staying inside and looking at these links helps.

We hope the white plague passes sooner than later, because those snowflake things are not only cold, but they all look the same too… Imagine if all our links were the same. Damn trees…
