My little boy's sudden obsession with Iron Man


My 2-year-old son, Alonso, wears Iron Man pants, Iron Man footwear and Iron Man shirt by day. By night, he wears Iron Man pajamas. He drinks from an Iron Man cup and eats from an Iron Man plate. It's easy getting him dressed, and he's easy to spot in a crowd.



Alonso wants nothing more than a rowdy good guy/bad guy brawl that ends with a huge pile of action figures on the floor. While I'm still not thrilled about the damage that's being done to our furniture—and on the days that he decides I'm a bad guy, to my body—as long as he doesn't trip over his own feet and fall down, we will all enjoy seeing a miniature Tony Stark running around the house. Anyway, here's some music.

However, this isn't just for cool footage. The real mission is to capture valuable scientific data: examining how quickly an eagle can gain altitude and precisely how its incredible wings are adapted to achieve such breathtaking, effortless lift.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
