Smile Your Way to Longevity

Dale Carnegie said if you smile at someone, anyone, they will smile back.
I tried, lots of times.
They do.
You try too!

How long will you live...well, how wide is your smile?

Ron Gutman reviews a raft of studies about smiling, and reveals some surprising results. Did you know that a simple smile has a measurable effect on your overall well-being? Prepare to flex a few facial muscles as you learn more about this…

Chimneys that Blow Smoke Rings--How Funny

You all know that I love TED. This topic caught my attention because it mentioned humor and living spaces and creative solutions. Do yourself a favor and listen to it in its entirety. Don't be turned off by it's length. It's better than playing Angry Birds or your other favorite computer game today. Just do it.

Bjarke Ingels' architecture is luxurious, sustainable and community-driven. At TEDxEast he shows us his playful designs, from a factory chimney that blows smoke rings to a ski slope built atop a waste processing plant.

Who Is Ted or is it What...

I was directed to this site today. I have not been there before. This topic is both thought provoking and the film is beautiful. Sit back, give it a go and enjoy!
