November 26, 2014November 25, 2014

Three things to watch this long weekend:

90-SECOND AD

You’re not human if you watch and don’t laugh out loud at the end.

TAKE OFF YOUR SHOE AND GIVE ME YOUR MACHETE

Watch Mark Plotkin’s TED Talk to see why I’m a long-time fan of the Amazon Conservation Team.  Magic frogs and all.

AND +SPEAKING+ OF OUR AMAZING PLANET . . .

Watch Will Marshall unveil his “line scanner for the earth” — a ring of tiny satellites that will allow us to see anything on the planet, updated every day.

What a miraculous time to be alive.  Happy Thanksgiving!
