I read two articles today, however they both befit a Saturday in which I have already baked six different kinds of breads and crackers and run nine miles. Meaning of course that they are easy and cool reads. The first is really short article, but highly entertaining. The author of the article went sea diving and the octopus he was video taping stole his camera! The picture at the top is just one still frame from the video and I highly recommend watching the three minute octopus movie. Who knows, it may become the next big thing and you don't want to miss out on seeing the first. The music is quite appropriate and plays into the emotion of the video very well. It is a wonderful adventure. :)

The second article I read is a very accurate description of how everyone is a scientist. I think that lots of people forget that they are scientists and exploring their worlds. The point of view adds a little bit of fun to the way we learn and grow everyday, but most people move away from understanding themselves as scientists because they were no good at academic science. There is a large difference between academic science and the exploration of the world we all do as scientists. The pictures in the article not only help make some of the points the author is trying to make about the way we advanced in academic science because of the differences between scientific theories and the actuality, but also are really cool and pretty. Especially the last one. So I suggest you make it to the end of the article just to see the picture. Reading about science won't hurt you either. ;)
