Some Encouragement on this Winter Solstice

If you've been looking a the news at all this week, you've probably seen something about this former NASA engineer's glitter-slinging, GPS tracking, video recording cure for porch piracy.  It is entertaining, and what's more, a little harmless comeuppance for these holiday-spoiling creeps feels about right.

But don't stop there.  The same guy has a whole upbeat youtube channel where he statistically tests peoples' honest with 200 "lost" wallets, talks with a physicist/biologist/inventor about a third world ready malaria test kit that costs $0.68, shows what a great investment NASA is, and a bunch of other things.

I started this day reading a really downbeat solstice blog post (no, no link; not spreading that misery around).  You, dear reader, deserve better.  Go watch some of those videos and get some joy there and at the prospect of more daylight tomorrow.

In the meantime, Merry Solstice!
