MAKE Editor-in-Chief Mark Frauenfelder has a piece on Dinosaurs and Robots about sea glass hunting, inspired by Kevin Kelly’s piece we blogged about last week.

We had a wonderful time searching for the sea glass. Sea glass is rare enough to make you excited when you find a piece, but not so rare as to cause discouragement. It’s a perfect sweet-spot for putting you in a flow state. The only thing I can compare it to is hunting for mushrooms.
