Tech and Stuff shared by my FB friends.

In case you missed this--- at about 1:45 the dolphins appear.  Beautiful!

My comment:
"It doesn't hurt to take a few self-defense classes.  I took kickboxing for the exercise and I do not feel defenseless.  As adults, we encounter criminals who are beyond the bully stage, who don'e care if they hurt (or kill) when they want to engage in illegal activities.  It makes sense to do the things that make us strong, healthy, fit, and safe.  This means having the strength to help others during a crisis, such as the shootings at the movie theater and other seemingly "random" acts of local terrorism."

I shared the following picture on Facebook:  
I set up the XBox 360 and the Kinect in the Activities of Daily Living room (it is also the music room), and when I went to take a picture of my rafting adventure, the system took a picture of me!
