I’ve just put up another mousepad in my CafePress shop. Please take a look: http://ping.fm/1wFsr

I just added a new section to my CafePress shop.  It has mousepads that have images from my place of work.  I’ve added two mousepads there and two more to my main storefront.  Please go take a look and see if any of them are for you.  The link is http://www.cafepress.com/fiberwoman15.

On November 12, I set up a shop selling mousepads on CafePress.com. I had been wanting to sell my digital art online for a while and I decided that this was the right time to do that.

Orbital debris, or “space junk,” is any man-made object in orbit around the Earth that no longer serves a useful purpose. Space junk can be bad news for an orbiting satellite. On February 11, 2009, a U.S. communications satellite owned by a private company called Iridium collided with a non-functioning Russian satellite. The collision destroyed both satellites and created a field of debris that endangers other orbiting satellites…

I came across a video about human origins on TED and I thought it was simply amazing!  The speaker talked about how humans evolved from aquatic apes.  The speaker is Elaine Morgan.  I had heard about this idea before from a book I read by David Horrobin, The Madness of Adam + Eve, so I was a somewhat familiar with the idea.  It was cool to see it mentioned in a TED talk and I felt I had to share it.

The link that I posted is to SiD Nepal’s WordPress blog, Sidnepal’s Blog.  The link is listed right below the link to their brochure.  I have also put the link in my Blogroll in the right sidebar.  It explains more about the work that they do and has contact information.
