It was a great talk about the intelligence of crows and Josh's study of them points to a more balanced way of interacting with nature. We watch TED talks every Tuesday and this is one of the best.I loved the talk so much I shared it on Twitter. The next part is what I'm blogging about. Twitter.

There are a million thoughts rolling through my head and the one that looms largest is this repeating phrase:Design is when true understanding is self-evidentIt just keeps rolling up in to my head and I can't get past it without putting it all down "on paper."

Broke in two and literally jettisoned the iPhone. Lame.Imagine wearing a bike helmet and getting in to a minor accident like hitting a low hanging branch on a tree.

I don't believe in foisting ones religious views on others and I don't blame people for a lack of faith in Christianity. I especially don't try and push my beliefs on people of entirely different faiths. If you believe in God, that's good enough. If you don't, well I guess that is good enough too but I'll pray for you. ;-)The Christian faith isn't http://skylark64.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-being-christian-means-to-me-this.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (David)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101756.post-1080795374927582883Thu, 13 Nov 2008 23:31:00 +00002008-11-13T19:45:40.550-08:00Today I took advantage of the sunny weather and went for a run around the water front. It was nothing short of amazing. Crisp Autumn air, leaves changing, and Portland for a backdrop. It all helps distract from the searing pain in your lungs and the acid in your veins.Of course, I am not a runner.

At first, I thought he was going to ask for spare change. He surprised my by asking me if I wanted a free shoe shine. You see, his theory was that if someone got up in his chair it might inspire someone else to get their shoes shined. Although I kind of like my shoes a little on the dull and scuffed side, I reluctantly agreed.Immediately http://skylark64.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-am-one-of-those-holes-who-gets-his.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (David)0
