Two minds are greater than one

Letters to Grandma
So we’ve got mediated and unmediated communication. Mediated is writing letters to grandma from camp. You take your time, maybe an hour to write and revise a letter to her. At the end of summer, when you come home from camp, you meet up with grandma to tell her about [...]

“What I mean to say is more important than what I actually say.” — Oh how true!

Right up my alley…technology + health

September 17, 2007

For those who have ever had stomach/GI troubles, technology has got something new to help! This isn’t just any ordinary pill. It’s a pill cam that flashes twice in a second (there are some that are even faster! Up to 14x a second!) and takes pictures of the digestive process.
The pill takes [...]

I found Google Reader slightly friendlier than Bloglines.
I joined the blog http://www.ftheredsox.com because its interesting to read about this man who lives in Boston as a Yankees fan. He deals with the negative comments from Sox fans and at the each of each posting, writes a list of people on or surrounding [...]

Reaction to Readings

These three authors are either extremely brilliant…or had a crystal ball to predict the future. If it was the later, I wish I would’ve hooked up with them to ask some lotto numbers! They were right on target when it came to forecasting the future of technology. The men foresaw the invention [...]
