Mission Blue - A Documentary

Such a wonderful documentary about the state of the Earth's oceans. It really tells us that just because the surface looks the same, it doesn't mean that the inside isn't dying. Maybe we should apply that to our everyday lives, and start changing the way we perceive nature and our connection to it. I would really, really, recommend watching this. It's on Instant Play on Netflix, or rent it somewhere. Worth watching!

Moving Art

I am a huge fan of nature documentaries. I can have marathons of them during the weekend. Unfortunately, it seems that actually finding good ones is rather difficult, and I'm fairly sure I have watched quite a bit of the selection provided by Netflix Instant Play - we don't get the DVD delivered. But every once in a while I'll scroll through the recently added and find something rather beautiful and meaningful.

Hiking At Moraine Hills

So I did it! I actually managed to get away for a bit this weekend. And I'm sitting here, with a foot cut from the dirt and rubbing in my shoe, and a farmers tan I'm actually quite satisfied with. Leaving the suburbs to go to back to nature is as necessary as leaving the suburbs and going to the city. Sometimes, we all just need a change of pace--a change in scenery. I didn't get to see any animals, or birds for that matter. Next time, I'll try find a place that's far more "raw" than the one we went to today.

The world keeps moving forward and it is ever-changing, and science continues to push ahead in directions we were not aware years ago that we could go. I think it's important for individuals in all fields of study to be relatively aware of what is going on in the world of science and engineering, because it is likely that those findings will affect every one of us.
