  2. Cellphones reverse memory loss and prevent Alzheimers in mice. http://bit.ly/8sFs66 Woody Allen's Sleeper was right!
  3. Thanks! I'll take a look. Happy new year
  4. Test? Game? UFO pilot qualifying exam? I dunno, but I'm struggling to make it to 5 seconds. http://bit.ly/6ADM8y
  5. Fewer loads. Smaller plates. Our dishwasher knows we're growing old.
  6. @IsCool asks about GlobeReader. It's special client for BosGlobe online. Better org'ed. I give it a B so far.
  7. Remember the DEC PC? 37-min DEC "making of" vid from 1982 is poignant now. http://bit.ly/7bOYEH
  8. Switched from $12.26/wk for home delivery of Bos Globe to $4.95/wk for online reader. Still too much to succeed, I fear.
  9. Ah, one day in and I've had my first total system freezeup with Windows 7. Hey, it's only human. (And yes, I have a Mac.)

  14. I posted my notes about the history of information and sensory overload, just in case anyone cares. http://bit.ly/7sowT0
  15. Thanks, @edsu ! Earliest sighting so far of "sensory overload" is a paper by Donald Lindsley at 1958 Harvard symposium
  16. @SteveKoss (via @DanielPink) while the _idea_ of sens. overload is often traced to 1950 trans of Georg Simmel, I'm looking for the _term_.
  17. @SteveKoss (via @DanielPink) Yes, Future Shock is one of the key texts...but ...
  18. @yourdon, did all 16 republishers of your nice Circuit City photo (http://bit.ly/11QmZ3 ) honor your CC share-alike license? Just curious.
  19. Anyone know who invented the phrase "sensory overload"? Earliest I can find is a 1966 ref in The Nation.
  20. Copenhagen talks failed because of China? Chinese bloggers react http://bit.ly/5UQuHe
