Crazy little things (called love?)

"Let me just share with you the story of these two little kids. This boy and this girl, are in love. As young as they are, it’s incredible how they treat each other, how much they want to be together all the time, how they never get tired of one another, it’s crazy. My mom works at a preschool, and these two kids go there.

William and Eva

They're about four or five I believe. Eva goes to school everyday, but William only goes every other day. The little girl’s mom told my mom that every morning when Eva gets in the car she says, “Mommy, is today a William day?” And when it is she sighs with relief in her little car seat. When they sit in class on the floor listening to story time, the little boy strokes her arm. He tucks her hair behind her ear and smiles at her, he helps her with her coloring. This is all during a day in preschool. I saw him at the school picnic, and he was walking around holding her hand. She said, “I want some cake, William.” He replied, “Okay, Eva. Let’s go get some together. ”I couldn’t help but take a picture of them. I hope they get married someday. They make me so happy. Even if he’s four years old, he knows how to treat a girl better than any guy my age."

I stumble upon this mini article and I'm amazed on how mature these kids are. Very cute, yes. Adorable, indeed. But I'd say mature because this is definitely not a 4-year-old would do. How could these two could get so attached like that? I seriously have no idea. Well, heck, whatever, this is just too lovely to not be shared.

Cheers for the kids of the future!

Structure, what?

So, long story short, I'm doing my structural-analysis assignments computing an audience hall. But here I am, browsing & googling since the previous 5 hours, actually captivated by the some imaginative structural architectures. I still have to adjust the idea that when I graduate & become a real engineer, I might just have the chance to construct one of these amazing structures for real!

"Apparently a company called Solaleya is buidling rotating UFO-homes. This Solaleya Domes are made of FSC-certified wood, are insulated with cork and have a structure that will withstand category 5 hurricanes and earthquakes up to magnitude 8 on the MSK scale (in case you wondered). It’s also a highly sustainable and eco-friendly house. It has a small mechanical structure in the base that gently rotates it to make sure those solar panels on the roof are getting the most sun energy."

"Rolf Disch has designed a new house with a solar-collecting array on top that follows the Sun all day long, but the real feat of engineering comes from the structure itself. The entire house rotates on a central axle. The front of the house is composed of triple-glazed glass to point toward that glowing ball of gas in the sky during the winter, while a heavily insulated backside rotates around to keep the heat at bay during those warm summer months. And that balcony you see at the top? That isn't a simple railing system; those are solar vacuum tubes for heating water and moving it throughout the house. This house is so energy efficient it actually generates more energy than it needs." (Upcoming pictures)
