Hollywood For Techees
a: Northern california ~
b: Hollywood for the computer world
What: "Northern California is like Hollywood for the computer world. Everything in technology, social media, computer parts, or web 2.0 somehow ties back to this area. The two hottest cell phones on the market were developed in adjacent towns. The only social networking tool that has its own biography AND major motion picture is now headquartered only one town over from there. "

Many Cars Lilnked Together
a: Macromolecule ~
b: train
What: "Macromolecules are like trains, molecules linked to molecules, in chains or in more complex structures. Sometimes all the wagons in a train are the same. We get additional polymers this way: a whole series of identical molecules hooked together like beads in a rosary thread. Polystyrene-the stuff of which disposable cups and packing cushions are made-consists of such identical molecules."
