Energizer Bunnies: Turning Rabbits into Green Fuel

(link above) --> a little disturbing. but in terms of efficiency it makes sense. obviously its better to put potentially beneficial things to good use rather than waste them. the native americans used nearly every part of what they killed, a good example to follow

Chihuly!

Today I went to a gallery in the Central West End in St. Louis that was showing some work done by one of my favorite artists, Dale Chihuly. He works with glass, usually on a large scale, to make amazing shapes with vibrant colors. It looks like he pulled some of these pieces straight out of a coral reef. I'd love to work with glass sometime - as a medium is allows for all sorts of shapes and colors, different levels of transparency, layers of material... The price tags on these things were THRU THE ROOF! I took some pictures:

Welcome to the Paradoks

I recently sat on a plane next to a woman from Midland, Texas. She was chatty. I like a chatty companion in a forced situation as long as the chatting amounts to some level of value, and this talk got pretty deep. During the usual "Where ya goin?" "What do ya do?" questions I sensed some undertones of religion in her conversing. Before long the conversation turned to God. She had been taking Hebrew classes so that she could read the Bible in the language in which it was written. I thought that was a very cool premise. She explained that there are many disparities between the English revised version and the original. The English bible begins "in the beginning" while the Hebrew translates to "in a beginning"...interesting...
So, "In a beginning" Louis started a blog. I blog. Therefore I am. I figure I can compile everything worth looking at in one convenient place - the Paradoks. If I'm going to be divulging myself to the Internet I figure that blogging is much better than Twitter...
