The Risks of Parenting While Plugged In- NYTimes:

“There’s something that’s so engrossing about the kind of interactions people do with screens that they wall out the world,” she said. “I’ve talked to children who try to get their parents to stop texting while driving and they get resistance, ‘Oh, just one, just one more quick one, honey.’ It’s like ‘one more drink.’ ”

…..

“If increased use of technology encroaches on the time that well-to-do families spend communicating with their children, some could become the victims of successes originally thought to help them.”

lisbonwalk:

The 25 de Abril Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril “25th of April Bridge” is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tejo river. Because of its similar coloring, it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. In fact, it was built by the same company (American Bridge Company) that constructed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and not the Golden Gate, also explaining its similarity in design. Until 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar). (Wikipedia)

I was lucky enough to live in Copenhagen for a year and can attest that its just a city where people are really, really happy.

The video above is a recent flash mob shot in Denmark. The group gathered to wish happy birthday to Muktars, the bus driver. Check out his expression at the end. Feel good movie of the year - its not hard to see why they are all so happy..

This video is so sweet!!!!

vainbuthonest:

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

I remember having to remember this Robert Frost poem as a kid in school. Just recently going through all my old papers back home I found a little print-out of it and pasted it to my bulletin board. My brain has not retained the memorization but definitely the good memories.

Down the street from my apartment in Lisbon, Portugal. Chaos on the Rio Tejo!

Never fear, the weather although still unpredictable has warmed up and it’s basically only raining at night these days.

Via: Information Is Beautiful

There were lines out the door at the Santa Apolonia Train Station (down the street from our house) today. Everyone must have flown here hoping to train it back home to the rest of Europe… Maybe this volcano will help Lisbon’s economy too!
