When my son was a few weeks old, he would wake up in the middle of sleep crying because he was awake but still tired. I made sure his tummy was full, his diaper was clean & everything else was fine, but he would still be crying. Then I remembered that we had received a ‘Sleep Sheep™ Babies Soothing Sound Machine’ as a baby gift before my son was born. I decided to give it a try.

This is a comical for a Thai Insurance Commercial. It’s not in english, but it’s so well done that the story speaks for itself. A very beautiful short film.

It can be fun to change. We need to rethink what we do and why. Imagine if this was put in everywhere. How much would that effect obesity rates? People are so lazy (me included).

This is a beautiful animation. I love the ending. Poor Panda.
Borders Final Sale
There was some hope for a while, that Borders might pull out of their dive, but then they announced on Wednesday that they are closing their doors for good. The sale starts today.
What this means for us is a 40% off and the last chance to use whatever rewards points you may have with them. Borders Plus members get extra discounts. Not sure what it means for their summer reading program, but I asume this means it’s ending so take advantage of whatever you’ve done so far.
