Monkeys in space

I've almost been at Bite two months now, and this week has been all about event planning. We have an empty13 event next week, focussing on content. The preparation has slightly stressed me out, but I am looking forward to the day and seeing everything come together

The evolution of 3D printing

This weekend, I went to the Science Museum. I am quite fascinated with space, so their exhibition on planets, astronauts and the moon was my favourite part. We watched a simulation video of the Moon landing in a 4D cinema, so as well as wearing the glasses, there were effects on our chairs and bubbles blown into the air. There were a lot of children in the screening, so I guess it's more aimed at the younger generation, but I really enjoyed it!

There was also a wall of things made by 3D printing, and this phenomenon was unknown to me before i joined Bite, now the concept amazes me. Have a look at this article from Marketing Magazine all about the new crazes impact on Marketing

Animals!

On Thursday evening, I watched a programme on BBC called Animal Odd Couples. It was about different species of animals striking up unlikely friendships. It was so heart-warming and very funny. Two pairings that really struck me were a Great Dane and a Dear. The dog, having no litter of her own, took on the baby fawn and brought it up for six months, before it fled into the wild. However every year, the dear comes back to the garden where the dog lives, gives birth to it's fawns and plays and cuddles up to her doggy friend. It was amazing to see them playing with each other, and showing genuine affection. 

The other unusual friendship came in the form of an orang-outang and a dog. This part of the programme explored the unusual idea of animals having pets. The orang-outang fed the dog biscuits, and swam with her. It was just mind-boggling! This shows an amazing bond that animals have, and going against nature shows that there are exceptions to the rule.
