REACTIONS
 Ancestral Tree MapsThis is uber-cool. My mom spent several years tracing her ancestry back to the Dark Ages. I could see something like this in a genetic map cover as a really special gift for her. Great find, Meghan! Comment by Katie Cordrey |
 Awareness CeramicsI love functional art and design that sneak in social awareness. Comment by Katie Cordrey |
 Nature-Inspired SeatingBianca, as Richard Lederer would say, "Get thee to a punnery." I love that about you! Comment by Katie Cordrey |
 Sodium Battery TechnologyIggy, you make a good point. From what I read, I understood the projected cost estimate to be inclusive of a final 'system' rather than the batteries alone. But even if the estimate is only 1/3 of the final actual cost, the system may well offer environmental benefits and a cost-neutral alternate or adjunct to grid-tied power. Comment by Katie Cordrey |

Sodium Battery Technology This is a HUGE leap forward in battery technology that makes the greenie in me very excited! Comment by Katie Cordrey |
 Sweet Organic DeodorantsI like the idea too. I don't know if I want my underarms to smell like grapefruit, but I have used stuff that smells like cloves that's kind of nice. I know a teacher who was using one with patchouli and she kept getting accused of smoking pot. Comment by Katie Cordrey |
 Invisible Lion CagesThis is unsettling. I wonder how frustrated the lions become with the setup. Is this setting up some future disastrous encounter? Comment by Katie Cordrey |

Freelance Goats Do I hear giggling? I used this method to clear 10 acres of unwanted blackberry vines. But goats will not be confined to eating only unwanted vegetation. In fact, there's no rule for goats. Goats do exactly as they please. Shockingly, it's not always what you have in mind… which makes for entertaining goat tales sure to make you the pinnacle of attention at social events. Comment by Katie Cordrey |
