"Meet Adam, the first robot that has independently brought a little nugget of experimental knowledge to the world. Adam thought up a hypothesis, tested in the real world, analyzed the data, and then, of course, did it all over again, many, many times." - adam from Bookmarklet

"Some serious proof has been uncovered by the Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. The group has learned that wild female chimpanzees copulate more frequently with males who share meat with them over long periods of time. In other words, men that share, get it more often. (Can you imagine the guy sitting out in the wild counting how many times Rosy the Ape copulated this month?)" - adam from Bookmarklet

"Yesterday evening I co-hosted a tweetup in New York City where Ford was unveiling the new Ford Fiesta and a brilliantly conceived social media program to get 100 influencers to take the car on an extended test drive for 6 months as part of the Ford Fiesta Movement. The event was a gathering designed to help put a more human face on Ford and talk about a new Ford car that many of the 20 and 30 somethings who showed up (and are the target market for the Fiesta) may not have known about." - adam from Bookmarklet

Our good friends over at Crooked Brains wrote an article about colourful umbrella art; we were so inspired that we compiled our own list of 18 examples of wonderful umbrella art to help you get through those dark, dreary days when the sun just doesn’t want to show up." - adam from Bookmarklet

"Does your child attend America’s Greenest School? Well, I can’t be the judge of that, but there is a contest going on for kids, parents, teachers and guardians, that runs through April 30. Considering that Earth Day is April 22, let’s keep the positive environmental focus going!" - adam from Bookmarklet

"In our last post, we wrote about eating green. Among the various ways you can shop and eat to help the planet, consider your lunch plans each day. The term “brown-bagging” it, is well-known, but out of date. The idea is sound, but it needs some updating." - w0lfh0und

"Do you want to go solar, but don’t like the look of panels? Consider solar roof shingles instead! Also known as solar roof tiles, solar shingles look just like regular asphalt roofing material. The secret is they are covered with thin film photovoltaic (PV) material, which operates just like solar panels" - w0lfh0und
