My hand writing has always been completely and totally horrendous. I mostly missed learning how to write in school (because I was switching school), and I quickly started using computers (and even typewriters). Today I never write anything by hand, ever. Not even notes. 

But there are people who are simply remarkable at it. Like Sebastian “Seb” Lester, who is a Master Caligrapher. And if you haven’t seen the video below or his Instagram page yet, you should: https://instagram.com/seblester/

You can also head over to Booooom to read an interview about him: http://www.booooooom.com/2015/09/11/an-interview-with-master-calligrapher-seb-lester/

It’s just remarkable skill!

Quite a few years ago, my uncle who is The Lord of the Nerds in my opinion and always told me about anything important in the Geek world, told me about a TV show called Chuck, now immediately I had doubts. I said to myself “Chuck”?, really that is the name, but as he told me about the show and how much it was relatable and cool, I became more intrigued. At this time I was way behind and had lost any chance of catching up, so once again I gave up on Chuck. Eventually I was at my uncles house and saw the first 3 seasons on DVD, he asked if I had watched it yet, and when I replied, he told me I had to borrow them. And that day began the long lasting obsession I’ve had with this amazing show. I watched and rewatched, with my mom, my brother, and my sister. But I only had 3 seasons, so I lost track. And my uncle had let slip a bombshell about the ending of the last season, weather to make me want to watch or just to screw with me. He wasn’t telling the truth. I didn’t watch seasons 4-5 because I felt it would be ruined. And here I am, probably 7 years since that first day, and thanks to Netflix, I just watched the last episode. I don’t think I have ever loved a TV show as much as I do Chuck. If there is anyone out there who has never heard of it, I fully recommend jumping on Netflix, and watching that first episode about the Geek that gets the Girl

Looking forward to taking photos in the rain 🙂

“Individual people — on the microscopic scale — always made inventions and discoveries, whether singly or in groups, but these creators could be factored out of the equation, because it was inventions that gave raise to inventions and discoveries that gave rise to discoveries.  This acceleration described a parabola that seemed to soar to infinity.  A saturation bend in the curve was not caused by other individuals who sought to protect the environment; the curve would bend only where a failure to bend would destroy the biosphere.  Invariably it would bend at the critical point, for if technologies for saving or replacing the biosphere did not come to the rescue of the technologies of expansion, the given civilization would enter a crisis to end all crises, i.e., extinction.  With no air to breathe, there could be no one to make further discoveries and receive Nobel prizes.”  — Stanislaw Lem, “Fiasco”
