Black Hole--What's Really Important?
It measures about 25 billion miles across--about the size of 29,000 suns.
If this doesn't make you (with all the money, smarts, good looks, and ego to match) feel small, nothing will.
We are but a speck of dust in this vast universe (maybe not even that).
Perspective is in order for your life and what it means.
Forget the money-grubbing and honor-seeking.
Realize what's really important is what you do in terms of choosing right from wrong and good over evil in every small thing you do. ;-)

Controlling The World, Really?
Often, I see, hear, or read lots of anti-Semitism.
People don't like what I write in my blog, that I eat Kosher, Keep Shabbat, or that I wear a head covering or whatever.
I get things like "Dirty Jew!"
Sometimes, "Get out! Go back to Israel!"
Or when I try to express myself, "Uh, the Jews control the world,"
The funny thing is if Jews control the world, why do I feel like I don't control anything!
I feel so small and insignificant in a way in the realm of G-d's great universe.
Where I am but a speck of dust.
I see tall skyscrapers.
Huge mountain ranges.
The deep oceans.
The rolling plains.
The infinite stars in the sky.
I see a world with hundreds of countries.
And billions of people.
And I see me, and I am just a person.
And I see the Jewish people--a tiny minority.
One that has been subject of pogroms, inquisitions, exiles, destruction, and genocide--over and over again.
I grew up pretty poor and watching my parents work so hard trying their best to support the family.
I think Jews don't control the world.
I certainly don't think I control even my day.
The reality is only G-d is in control.
And for that, I am most humble and grateful to the L-rd above. ;-)

Not Every Problem Requires A High-Tech Solution
Yes, it's a "Smart" car.
But more important is this guy parked his car in a very smart way.
The spot was too small even for this micro urban car.
So he just parked it sideways--and poof it fits.
Also, look how easy it is for him to drive out of the spot when he's ready.
Now, I'm not one to say whether this is legal or not (his rear wheels are on the sidewalk, of course).
Still there is something refreshing about this solution.
Nothing high-tech about it -- he didn't need to move the cars further apart or shrink his own vehicle, rather just think out of the box.
Frankly, it works, and I think this guy deserves the parking spot--so right on dude! ;-)

Noticing The Smallest Beauty
My daughter, Rebecca sent me this photo she took.
A little lady bug on the plants outside.
She told me how important it is to pay attention to the beauty in even the smallest ways out there.
I was very proud of her!
It's not the biggest, the loudest, or the baddest that necessarily makes the most impact in the world.
I hope she (and us) keep on noticing what is really amazing in this world.

Fantastic Drone Capabilities Coming
Exciting video by Futurism on what drones can and will do.
Swarming.
Wall landings.
Acrobatics.
Drone on drone landings.
Playing catch.
Juggling.
Building a rope bridge.
These little drones are so versatile and dexterous that perhaps what they can do is only limited by our imagination.
Soon drones will do everything from caring for people's personal needs to building our cities, fighting diseases from within our very bodies, and conducting open warfare on the battlefield and behind enemy lines.
