A government lab (Los Alamos National Labs in New Mexico) recently revealed that they have been using a quantum network internet connection for two years. Not familiar with the quantum internet?

Fascinating stuff, and super important to the future of secure information technology.
As you’re reading this John and I are currently on the San Francisco leg of our CA to OR road trip so this is extra appropriate for today. Check out this interactive map of San Fran to read all about the history of why streets, landmarks, etc. were named the way they were.

Check out this year’s Doodle 4 Google! It’s an annual contest for kids grades K-12 to create their own Google Doodle. The winners received educational grants and scholarships for college. I love looking through the finalist gallery – these kids are seriously creative. Check out the winner this week (on 5/23) – they will be featured as the Google Doodle for the whole day!
