1. "Crows seem to be able to use causal reasoning to solve a problem, a feat previously undocumented in any other non-human animal, including chimps." Here is more.
2. "I, Crayon," so to speak, a video.

I have trouble imagining a treadmill desk as being useful. I try to bring reading material to the gym and find that it’s not that useful to bring anything that seems too much like work; I can’t concentrate on it.
