The Spoon

Last Saturday evening we attended a wedding at the Radisson Blu at the Mall of America. My son who is a year and a half old, was also invited and while the hotel was very nice, we found no where, not even in the fancy bathrooms, was there a place to change a baby's diaper!

My baby boy liked the big windows and the view and at one point while he was playing in one he decided to drop his spoon (we brought a spoon that is for baby's--which he insisted on carrying with him) into an air vent below the window. My wife brought me over to see "if I could get it."

"Armed" with a butter knife, I looked down the vent and saw the spoon some two feet below. There was no hope of retrieving it. So now this posh hotel that isn't very "baby friendly," has a baby spoon inside of it... forever. Or at least until someone opens up that vent to clean it.

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
