So I haven't had any time to watch my favorite show! BUT, I recently stumbled upon this little gem on youtube! It's actually pretty fun to watch, even as an adult - depsite it's hockieness. It's quite a trip to see how much of a serious endeavor it was to shoot and edit television before digital editing! Can you imagine and ENTIRE ROOM that's built as a "remote control" of sorts to control a WHOLE ROOM of tape decks in another room. I hope this episode of Reading Rainbow reminds you of your childhood as much as it reminds me of my own! Anywayz enjoy the episode! :)

Celebrating the Ladies of Space Pt1
Lately I've been thinking about how women have impacted business and science. And I'm noticing a trend, most successful women in these two fields go on to educate other women/girls. My current favorite Lady -o- Space did exactly that!
Sally Ride (first American Woman in Space)
"Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut, has emerged as one of the nation’s leading proponents of science education – particularly for middle-school girls. Dr. Ride’s journey from a high school tennis player to NASA celebrity involved a lot of math. After earning much deserved fame and relative fortune from her space endeavors, Ride directed her attention to what she sees as a national crisis: a dearth of female students pursuing science and engineering careers." - as read in Inventor's Digest (click here to see in original context)
Bravo Sally!
Though it's a somewhat frustrating idea, thinking about how a lot of women put the growth of their careers on hold for the sake of educating a younger generation. In many ways I wish all people would approach their careers this way - not just ladies and minorities. But all people should set aside time to be an example for youth! I wish there was more integration of professionals spending time with youth! What better way to make kids empowered and pumped up about following through with their education!

FOR THE LOVE OF BEARDS! (cough) Oh and Star Trek!
Okay, so generally, it is understood that I overwork myself. And one way to know how overworked I am, is by how many ridiculous searches I make in passing because my mind is wondering due to exhaustion.
SO...I typed 'foxy beard' into my google search bar AND the first image I see is Evil Spock. Of course . . . beard+trek=joyful moj . . . SO, this hyperlink takes me to a magical blog called "Beard Blog: For the love of beards". I was certainly delighted that this person was not only collecting fine images of Trek-beards, but also photos of strangers he meets and chooses to photograph and interview, simply because they're bearded and seem friendly.
Unfortunately, the next thing that I notice is that he was discontinuing said blog. And alas it seem he has.
So...I suppose this post is really more of a "R.I.P. beard blog" update! Because who wouldn't want to celebrate all of the finest beards! In honor of the "Late" beard blog. I am going to share some of the greatest Trek-beards to date!
Sexy-Beard!
