Google Calendar

Use Google Calendar. Much like a MacBook, it will make you happy and change the way you do life. Then, share your calendar with me so I will know when you are available to have Starbucks or Skype.
If you don’t have a gmail account yet, you are a loser and lack perspective.

I will send you an invite if you can’t get one otherwise. Let me know.

Poor choice of beer though… I am a Fat Tire, Dos Equis, Shiner, or Guiness kind of guy myself. Have never even heard of that brand!

NIMH: “Power Nap” Prevents Burnout; Morning Sleep Perfects a Skill

New experiments by NIMH grantee Alan Hobson, M.D., Robert Stickgold, Ph.D., and colleagues at Harvard University show that a midday snooze reverses information overload and that a 20 percent overnight improvement in learning a motor skill is largely traceable to a late stage of sleep that some early risers might be missing.

‘Thirst for Knowledge’ Same as Opium Craving!

// June 20th, 2006 // No Comments » // Learning, Reading

Neuroscientists have proposed a simple explanation for the pleasure of grasping a new concept: The brain is getting its fix.

So, that is why I am constantly searching on google wanting my “google fix”. I am coming out of the closet and admitting my Google and Wikipedia addiction right now.
