Another day to reflect on a week and regroup for another. Today we bring you a Ted Talk on Chinese Food, a robot baby turtle helping to sustain the sea turtle population, and a new computer mouse design. A review for a third season of Only Murders in the Building will finish the day and the week.

Depending on your ethnicity, you might know how grandma made spaghetti or tamales, but what about fried rice? In a Ted Talk, Vincent Yeow Lim talks about that while he makes fried rice. My extended family is from Italy, and my wife’s are from Mexico and Croatia. We enjoyed Lim's Ted Talk it showed us how similar the stories he told about making a food staple in Chinese cooking are to stories we've heard from our families and how recipes are made and passed down from generation to generation.

Food and family all come with a big mixed bag of ingredients, some good, some bad, but if you give ‘em enough time and attention, they both have the potential to come together in the best way.

Spend some time on the beach, and you might run into an interesting-looking contraption that looks like a small box area in the sand, with caution tape wrapped around it and a note from a conservation group about sea turtles. Many groups try to help baby sea turtles make it to the sea, and research suggests that only 1 in 1,000 baby sea turtles make it to the water. A new tool in the fight to help the little guys make it, Popular Science has a story about a new Robot Sea Turtle built by a team from the University of Notre Dame.

Typically, a momma turtle will come up on the beach at night, dig out a hole in the sand, lay her eggs, bury them, and head back to sea. The babies hatch and start the journey from beach to sea, and if they are disoriented and anything gets in the way of the path, the chances they make the water diminish. The new turtle bots can help babies follow the leader, and based on the early results, more baby sea turtles are making it to the sea.

From turtle bots to new mice, a Kickstarter Campaign has launched for a mouse you clip to your fingers, and it moves based on gestures vs. optical sensors. We found the story in designboom and are curious enough to jump into Kickstarter to fund the project.

Based on the video and the specs, we don't know if this would work for a long-term at-the-desk session, but this could be a game changer for travel and working with your laptop. Similar to using Apple's Magic Mouse, we are looking forward to sitting on the couch with a laptop in tow, scrolling multiple screens simultaneously!

The third season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building recently dropped, and Consequence has a good review of the show starring; Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. In the third season, the guest cameos go from single episodes to multilayered characters who are part of the show. According to Mary Siroky, who reviews the show for Consequence, there are times when the additional cast can distract from what the show did so well in the first two seasons. The show is about the main characters living in a historic building and solving a crime, all while recording a podcast about it.
