From a recent hike to Lake Lillian.
I never actually made it to the lake, which I guess isn’t that uncommon. There was snow at the ridge, and I ended up losing the trail. (Made more exciting by the fact that the mosquitos attacked every time I stopped to look for it.) But the surrounds were beautiful. I think it may be one of my favorite hikes.
About a year ago, the New Yorker wrote an article on Robert Lang and his crazy mad origami skills. I thought it was super cool, and wrote about it. Here’s a newer piece that he’s done (yes, it’s one piece of paper):
In the latest TED talk, Robert Lang goes into more technical detail on how his origami designs are actually created. (I watched this on my new black, 16 GB, super sexy iPhone while working out. It rocked.) The geek in me was intrigued.
One of the other talks I watched was by Benjamin Zander, on music and passion. He speaks about the world’s approach classical music and the power of inspiring. It’s also definitely worth a watch.
