Chickens and eggs

After finding a great place to stay on airbnb on the Queensland Coast of Australia , we discovered it included chickens. Our first reaction was “I hope they don’t make a noise and there’s someone to look after them”. By day 2 we contacted the owner to ask if was ok if we looked after them as they were such low maintenance.

This may seem ridiculous, but I’m amazed that you put some grain and water in the one end and out pops an egg on the other. Every day.

Stop and think about this for a second. I work in tech startups so my entire world is virtual and a serious of 1s and zeroes. That makes sense. But there are many things that don’t work this way and it’s good to stay grounded and occasionally filled with awe.

The new iPhone is not awesome.
