Brains are wondrous things.

This is a video I had to watch as an assignment for my neurology class.

It's a neuroanatomist who had a stroke, describing her stroke. It's almost 19 minutes long, but it's well worth watching.

I found this fascinating. Now I want to read her book. I also want to try to figure out how to get my right brain to be a little more active.

I love TED so much. My boss's wife was a 3-minute presenter last year, and because of that, we joined as TED associates last year and this year, and have their presentations playing live for a week on the big screen in one of our conference rooms. When I have time, I like to drop in and eat lunch while watching a presentation, or just spend a few minutes learning something new here and there. I wish I could take the whole week off and do nothing but absorb the amazing thoughts, ideas, insights, discoveries, etc. from all of the TED presentations. They do a mini-TED event here in Boulder in the summer, and I'm hoping to go this year.

I've got to run to a meeting, but I'll be sure to watch that video later. I want to learn how to activate my right brain, too! I'm struggling with that so much right now.

Just watched the video. Just wow, had me in tears toward the end. Awesome.

Acid, psilocybe, meditation, music, art - all of thes all at once even... that's how mine got going :-)
