Disco Could Save Your Life
This is not tech-related, but medical-related, and thought I'd share. Like many people, I am certified in CPR and First Aid and keep my certification up to date.

What caused the financial crisis?
It annoys me when people try to blame the problem on a single thing, banks, the government, deregulation, etc. The situation is so much more complex than can be explained by any one reason and most people that are trying to blame a particular factor have an agenda they are trying to promote. Greed and cognitive dissonance should be high
Budget MP3 Players
As the holiday season approaches, I'm starting to look at technology toys as gifts. Since I have teenagers, and a barely-technologically capable husband who want the same fun toys I have, I'm currently looking at ways to give them the toys without the expense. I'm cheap like that.

Google Searching is Good for your Brain!
According to a study being released in next month's American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, internet web searching may just enhance brain activity and keep your brain working at top function as you approach your middle-age and golden years. The study compared subjects between the ages of 55 and 75 who were either reading a book, or searching the internet. Using
Unobtrusive Watch
I want a new watch. I don’t need one with an iPod embedded or Bluetooth capability. I don’t want a calculator watch (1980’s geek status symbol). I don’t want to watch videos on it. I don’t need it to wake me in the morning or remind me to bring home some milk. I just want a watch that does not
Distractions help you work
We probably all have had times when we have had to step away from a problem before we can solve it. A new study reported in the Telegraph found that when solving problems, distractions can make the process faster. The theory behind this is that non-linear problem solving requires the help of the subconscious mind. When our conscious minds are

Gaming leads to mass reading?
A recent article in the NY Times discussed the new video games that provoke youngsters into …. Gasp …. Reading. I think it could certainly help while it will never motivate huge numbers to pick up actual books. I remember the same discussion years ago about comic books. Kids would get criticized for reading that “junk” but at least it
