Just seemed relevant to now.

The #Map Year. … Wrote you a #poem because I couldn’t write a #2016 summary yet. The Map Year * At year’s end we erased the maps removed rivers, deleted borders, we cut the compass out tried to navigate by the gap remaining * Where will you go? Departing friends worry we have nothing to guide us * But as the year begins we take the map’s pieces and reassemble road and compass river and gap to make our own direction to keep moving to change with each step so we cannot be lost. f. wilde

On Surreal Sunday the deer go shopping. This gift shop at the Horsetooth Inn and RV Park in Fort Collins, CO was recently visited by a small group of deer, including a young doe who strolled right in and began browsing.

“It was hilarious,” Lori told The Dodo. “She was looking at the sunglasses and the chips. I was laughing so hard.”

Eventually Lori was able to lure the doe out of the store, but she returned for a second visit a short while later.

“About 30 minutes later, here comes the deer again with her whole family. They were just looking in the doorway like, ‘Can we come in too?’ I said, No! It was so funny.”

Lori did eventually manage to lure the inquisitive family of deer away from her shop, but not until she took these delightful photos with her phone.

When we think of 3D technology, we don’t often think of the sixteenth century books. However, printers have found ways to creative interactive texts since printing began. For example, Euclid’s The Elements of Geometrie included shapes that buyers could cut out and glue onto the pages of their book. These cut-outs would then form the three-dimensional shapes described in the text, like the pyramid above!

Euclid, The Elements of Geometrie of the Most Auncient Philosopher Euclide of Megara (Imprinted at London: by John Daye, 1570). Q. 516.2 Eu2:E1570.
