![]() Robert Frost was a popular American poet both during his own lifetime and today. Robert Frost was born in 1874 in California, but he attended college in New England and he wrote about New England frequently in his poems. Like many of Robert Frost’s poems, The Road Not Taken, is likely a depiction*** of rural life in New England in the early 20th century. Now that is a very dry overview of this poem the poem itself is much more elegant. In the end he chooses the road that he thinks is less traveled by other people. ![]() So, the man must choose which road to go down. ![]() The speaker tells himself even though each road is equal, he can only go down one, because he is only one person. ![]() As the speaker looks at the two roads in front of him he observes** they are similar in many ways. ![]() In this poem the speaker is standing in the forest at a fork in the road*. This poem is entitled, The Road Not Taken, and it is one of his most beloved poems. He is one of my favorite poets and today I’d like to share with you one of his more famous poems. Robert Frost is a great American poet from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ![]() ![]() ![]() How many gunshots did a woman have to tend in one lifetime?

It grabs your attention and never lets go. ![]() There are intense moments that left me shocked and heartbroken as our partner suffers so hard both mentally and physically, but as with any well-written romance, the characters let you go, and that’s what Gravity does. Gravity is a one-of-a-kind sports romance that never quite goes your way. Hunter and Bryce’s joy in experiencing their new feelings was such joy. Once the initial shock and confusion wears off, Hunter and Bryce’s love story is so passionate, honest and sweet that I was so pleased to see these two characters behave and act in a totally new and strange way. What starts out as a simple friendship soon turns into a serious connection that leaves both shocked and confused by the change in their dynamic and lost in what it all means. They meet during a tournament in Las Vegas and share an instant connection that surprises them both. Gravity is an emotional sports romance between two professional ice hockey players, Bryce and Hunter. ![]() ![]() ![]() As the war raged on, interest rates grew to 25%. When the Clone Wars started, the Republic and the Confederacy started taking out loans from the Intergalactic Banking Clan (the equivalent of Federal Banks in the Star Wars universe). Before The Phantom Menace, there were only a handful of alternative currencies used in the Outer Rim, often illegally. During the Galactic Republic era, the Galactic credit was the de facto currency. You may be wondering, was the Outer Rim always using alternative currencies to the Galactic or Imperial Credit? The answer is no, not really. In The Phantom Menace, Watto tells Qui-Gon “Republic credits are no good here. ![]() FIAT currencies in the real world are like Republic Credits while cryptocurrencies, quickly becoming the currency of the internet, are like the Outer Rim currencies. If you think about it, the internet is kind of like the Outer Rim. I've also pasted the content of the email below. I made Republic Credit chips in Spline and exported an image for the email header. I had the privilege of designing and writing a Star Wars Day email for this year. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ivy and Bean Boxed Set: Books 7-9 includes: But sometimes opposites can become the best of friends because they're opposites. Especially because their parents keep nagging them about it. Each girl thinks she could never be friends with the other. She spends most of her time learning how to be a witch. She loves to be involved in games and poke her nose in other people's business. Ivy and Bean are very different. Bean is loud and wild and goofy. The third set of three books in the bestselling series, Ivy and Bean Boxed Set: Books 7-9 continues the story of Ivy and Bean, two spunky friends who never meant to like each other. ![]() ![]() I also want to know who the Jon Gertner, Tracy Kidder, or Scott Rosenberg of OpenStack will be. That model no longer works in our modern competitive environment, and I am left wondering how we will manage to make the next fundamental leap forward (and what that leap will be) when most businesses can’t afford to take such a long view, and most research universities struggle for funding. From its beginnings in the 1920s until its demise in the 1980s, Bell Labsofficially, the research and development wing of AT&Twas the biggest, and arguably the best. Most of the book talks about a different era, when attitudes about monopolies were different and pure research was funded with fewer expectations of immediate profit. The definitive history of America’s greatest incubator of innovation and the birthplace of some of the 20th century’s most influential technologies. Let’s see how that was even possible and what it took to make that happen. As it turns out, this company has almost single-handedly invented modern communication technology. Gertner’s writing moves along at a nice steady pace, and he tells the stories with a good balance of scientific detail – not so much that you need a physics degree, but enough that you understand the difficulty and significance of the work. In his 2012 book The Idea Factory, Jon Gertnerlooks at the history of Bell Labs, the company behind the telephone ring, among other things. I love these sorts of books, that talk about engineers and scientists solving problems and discovering how the world works. It’s a history of Bell Labs and its impact on modern technology. ![]() ![]() I just finished reading The Idea Factory by Jon Gertner. ![]() ![]() ![]()
