A Wedding Message

A friend of mine sent me the sample of this wedding video, which was made in Aruba. Listen closely to the words from Reverend Robert Gibson.

That’s an extremely important message backing up a wonderfully produced video. Best of luck to the happy couple. If you’re going to get married in Aruba, I highly recommend Rev. Gibson. This is just a small sample of his quality marriage service.

Bon dia.

Antikythera Mechanism of Legos

Legos were one of my favorite toys. Getting a new Lego set was like discovering a pirate treasure, dreams became reality, of a certain scale. I remember when the “expert builder” sets became available. Now there were gears, racks and pinions, even differential mechanisms. Never did I know how far these sets could go until I discovered this video. It shows a reconstruction of the Antikythera Mechanism. You’ll remember from watching the History Channel that the device was discovered by divers off an island in Greece. It was later determined to be a tool to predict celestial events. Now you can see how it works, courtesy of a brilliant engineer and his Legos.

Amazing, no? Absolutely. It is fascinating to watch, especially from a Lego aficionado like myself. Imagine what you can teach yourself using these “toys.”

Pay VERY close attention….

… as you watch the following video because there will be a test afterward.

What limits the power of government in the United States?

What is the worse form of economic phenomenon?

What happens when the government is involved in all sorts of social engineering?

Go back and view it again and think about what is happening in the WORLD today.
