This probably looks like a PPP post, but it’s not. As most of you know, I use Stumbleupon when I’m bored and like to post some of my nifty findings here.

Today, it’s the coolest faucet I think I’ve ever seen. I want one!

From here.

Remove the top of a spigot, create a small-scale canyon, add backlighting and you’ve got ambient water fittings. That’s what Germany’s Hansa is doing with Hansacanyon, by adding LEDs that change color as a function of water temperature so you can see when it’s hot or cold. Also included; precise temperature control, for sinks, baths and showers.

It’s 7 am, and I can’t sleep. I’m stressed. I’m exhausted. I’m grieving. I’m sick. So many thoughts in my head and none of them really make a lot of sense. I really wish I could get some sleep, because I am supposed to go to the gym in 3-1/2 hours. Even if I don’t sleep, I’ll probably be going. If not, I’ll go to the evening class tonight.

A lot of people I know got hit hard with some very unexpected and very depressing news tonight, and my heart goes out to them. A tragedy like this affects everyone that knew the person, and it doesn’t matter how we knew her, or how well. She was a part of all of our lives in one way or another. I hope her family is doing well, and I hope her daughter is growing wonderfully. If she’s half as fantastic as her mother was, she’s in good shape.

It’s weird when things like these happen. It makes you look at everything so much differently. Just don’t take anyone for granted, I guess. You never know when they might just disappear.
