This is a picture of another planet. Where this robot is. Right now.</p> <p>As we sit here on Earth in this or any moment, we each have in our heads a flurry of worries and questions and ideas. And most of them pertain to our own lives. That’s okay, it’s human nature. We are each the center of our own universe.</p> <p>I often think about this in crowded places, like while in traffic, as the place I’m going is far more important than the place all of these other people are going. I’m convinced that they feel the same way. And so we sit.</p> <p>But that means that there are seven billion mental universes walking around on this planet. We are staring into them through little digital windows that we carry in our hands, and certain that this decision is the most important decision. Everything that is happening is happening to us.</p> <p>Yet for the past eight years, there has been a dusty, six-wheeled rover crawling around the surface of Mars, completely alone. Incidentally, that rover has exceeded its expected mission of 90 days by thirty-two times over. That’s admirable, and I can’t help but personify the little guy. Like a sort of scrappy, diligent explorer, quietly working hard for the benefit of someone else. <em>“No complaints, boss!” </em>Like Johnny 5 meets Wall-E.</p> <p>And so we get images like this, reminding us that every day we can look beyond our personal universe. What a thought! Look at how much is out there. Think of what else we could see! <strong>Let’s go.</strong></p></blockquote> <p>Wow!</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23726237934http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23726237934Fri, 25 May 2012 05:30:24 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4js6w3sTx1qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Summer Camp: Adult’s-Eye View</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23693821249http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23693821249Thu, 24 May 2012 18:08:56 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4iexeKQwB1qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>They’ve made a Belieber out of me!</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23656071736http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23656071736Thu, 24 May 2012 00:24:50 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4gpnccVVk1qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with embroidery floss.</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23597396495http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23597396495Wed, 23 May 2012 02:21:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4gfuf1gY71qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Someone was not a fan of that mix.</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23587845555http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23587845555Tue, 22 May 2012 22:49:27 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4frrkb8zN1qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>It’s kill or be killed in the spinach dip game.</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23552901845http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23552901845Tue, 22 May 2012 14:09:19 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4frjvx5Go1qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Spelling words, literary genius…all in a day’s homework.</p>http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23552701480http://all-skate.tumblr.com/post/23552701480Tue, 22 May 2012 14:04:43 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4cahgWRaj1qzvru4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>The Story Story!
