The Hero at the End of This Book

 Last night, I dreamed I was writing a new book. This morning I doodled the cover as best I could. It was a sequel to "The Monster at the End of this Book." But each time you turn a page, it takes you further into Grover's secret lair, uncovering his secret identity as a super hero, until he finally trains you (the reader) as his side-kick and together you save a lost kitten stuck in a tree.


The last page is a mirror, so the Hero at the end of the book is you.


I wish Jon Stone and Jim Henson were still here so I could tell them about it!

Back to School: Food For Thought Videos

 A school is a group of fish who move as one through the water. Why do they do they? Why do they spend so much time together? Why do they conform? 


The quick answer: to survive. 

But still... how do they work together so well? This animated TedTalk Video helped me understand a phenomenon called "Emergence." 




I stumbled upon an animated video series that explores a lot of cool subjects, including emergence.
