    Some fun info. here. I was going to spend more time on the computer but I think I need to go for a walk and get some exrcise. Too much time on the computer/TV = bad for the brain !!

    Whew. Spent the morning surfing those waters. Even with your warning, I still swam right past the shallow end.

    Wow! between all of these connections (love this brain link stuff!) and the web 2.0 link I could lose several hours of each day (and/or gain lots of information, whichever way you look at it.) Parenthood, household and work responsabilities (as well as sleep deprivation) are pulling me away.
