Greetings from Dania Beach, Florida! The organization I work for has its headquarters here and so at least a couple times a year I find myself down here. It's not the most exciting place in the world, but it
is very different from Washington. If it doesn't rain too much, I'll have a full post with images from Dania. For now, a palm frond.

A Comprehensive rap-graphic This is too awesome not to pass along.
DIY hula-hoop pool warmers via Lifehacker I don't have a pool or know anyone who has a pool (okay actually not true but I can't see Ray putting these in his pool, right?) but this idea to use the sun's energy to heat your pool is DIY and brilliant.
