Deer with two fawn

I recently moved back to Boulder, and can't get over how nice it is to
experience this calm, somewhat quiet lifestyle. Daniel Aaragon came
into town, went longboarding and past this deer with two fans along
our way! The quiet life.

Required Reading


I can't express how amazing this book is. You must read it for yourself if you have a chance. Bill Bryson is a well-known travel writer who decided to read a gazillion science books from astronomy to biology and publish the wonders in an everyperson's way of understanding. He keeps it impacting from beginning to end with humorous stories of crazed scientists (like Newton who stuck a needle in his eye to see what would happen) to the amazing facts (that if the length of your stretched-out arms represented the time of the earth, you could scrape away human history with a nail file). Another interseting point of his writing is his skepticism. Throughout the book he makes light of the limitations of science. All though we have come so far, there is still so much more to learn. And lastly the sense of scale he puts forth is quite humbling. From his point of view, the world of the small (microbes and viruses) rule over us. They have been around much longer and will probably continue to remain after we pass on. And to the opposite effect, our Universe is incredibly massive. We have a long way to go if we want to find another world like ours. All of this is fascinating stuff, so if you're into this sort of thing, check it out.
