Week 10

I grew up in the age of Nintendo and still look back with fond memories of playing Zelda and Mario Brothers.  As an adult I have purchased several gaming machines and allow myself to play games every once in awhile... but school and work tend to take up a lot of my time so rather than stay indoors, I find myself getting into nature more than playing my once loved games.

There is a huge following to the game Minecraft, even school classes dedicated to teaching children how to create their own worlds.  I love that there are educational sides to our childhood pastimes!  Microsoft just announced that they are now going to introduce AI to the game of Minecraft, which you can read more about here!

Week 9

Well if you know me, you know I love the ocean! Afterall, my first degree is a BS in Marine Biology!  

NOAA launched their new remote-operated vehicle (ROV), Deep Discoverer, on it's first expedition and at nearly 4,300 meters deep, they disovered a new species of octopus!!  

The octopus resembles Casper the Friendly Ghost, but is yet to be named as such.

It is amazing that nearly 95% of the deep ocean is still undiscovered, but with awesome tech from NOAA like Deep Discoverer, we are bound to have more amazing discoveries!!
