And now on your Brain Channel
Over in p_t_s_d someone posted a link to this fascinating news item: Diagnosing PTSD using brain imaging. Just WOW. It has long been known that the brains of people with PTSD are physically different, let alone "programmed" differently (repeated mental trauma permanently changes brain chemistry), but to be able to actually SEE these differences and use ( Read more... ) -
Vote of Confidence. Not!
I recently did a phone-interview with Microsoft (AKA The Evil Empire). I was actually pretty flattered because MS-Israel are known to be pretty picky, and I'm not even an academic.

Mother Lode (Goldstone, don't you know)

So last week, Malachi set about demonstrating what a Tough [Little] Guy he was.

(~5'), he proceeded to land on his head. [ We don't actually know exactly what ( Read more... ) -
Obama-Nation
So all you American folks, how do you think Obama is measuring up as far as internal policy goes? Is he really going to revamp health-care? Is he going to save the dead-man-walking American Industry, or has he bought you all a whole herd of white elephants? I'm really curious to know what you view-from-inside is, because many of the issues are too ( Read more... ) -

Dear Mommy
I just sent my mother the following letter, with regard to her behavior over the Passover, as described here: Bomb-shell on a Leash. I thought I'd share it with you all. This is one of those extremely rare friends-locked entries. It took me so long to write this up, if only because it hurt like hell to write.
