Our six year old daughter Paradise loves the Keys-To-Go keyboard, too. Photograph copyright © 2015 Alexander Chow-Stuart. When our son Hudson and I recently attended the getgeeked event in San Francisco , one of the products that most impressed us was a simple bluetooth keyboard from Logitech, called Keys-To-Go. Slim, light, colorful and with models for both iOS (including Apple TV) and Android, perhaps the best feature of Keys-To-Go is its FabricSkin coating, a pleasing waterproof (or at least water-resistant - not sure you can surf with it) plastic coating that can be wiped clean after any unfortunate spills, and is also great for working in sandy or wilderness environments. The keyboard is surprisingly light and portable. While it's not full-size, it has really comfortable spacing, and despite its ultraslim 6mm depth, the keys actually tap like a "real" keyboard, giving you a satisfying sense that you are actually writing!

We should all reflect on what Independence Day means to our entire nation. America was born as an idea, which is fairly unique among nations. But for those who already were guardians of this land, and who lived in greater harmony with it than we have managed, Independence Day is hardly that. History and progress are complex. Enjoy the day but remember we are all interconnected. And the land belongs to no one, ultimately. We are lucky to enjoy it and its vast startling beauty.

Happy Independence Day! Love Everyone! "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses!" Be One 🌎🌏🌍
