Magazines

April/May issue of Plenty was good. Always get good ideas on how to reduce our carbon footprint from this magazine, and it is always interesting. Main articles had to do with new car technologies and how China is trying to manipulate the weather for the Olympics.

April National Geographic was great. I especially like the articles on design engineers taking their cue from nature to try to create products (that is how Velcro was imagined). Fascinating stuff that goes from concept to creation. And really makes you look at everything around you in a slightly different light. Also loved the article about chimps and tool making, especially the making of spears for hunting. Pretty mind blowing, especially following the issue on animal intelligence.

April Zoonooz. Ehhh. It was Zoonoooz, what can you say? Killed some time on the flight.
