Several babies in strollers in the mall returned my smile! When I was little it was all about the parents. Today, it's all about the babies.

3-D printer could build a house in 20 hours

^Very cool...not for those in the construction trades however.

Yes, that occurred to me too - but nobody is building anything for anybody in shanty towns - so if replacing shacks with real houses can be made more cost-effective, then it's a better use of donated funds for that, I guess. But the impact it will have on workers in the long run is troubling unless we change our capitalist paradigms.

A bunch of Swedes are wearing hijabs after a Muslim woman (pregnant, too, fer cryin out loud) was apparently assaulted for wearing one. Makes me proud to be a people for once.

Some lovely shots, too.
