More specifically, you can't because tradeoffs are *cached*, and the default priority goes to whatever programs are already in place.

And this means you can't prioritize just by saying that such-and-such thing is really really important and you should therefore do it.

In particular, absolute priorities have no meaning, since brain operations are normally "massively parallel".

About to record a CD; meanwhile, in the office next door, my wife records voiceovers for a DVD to play in her store. Ah, togetherness. ;-)

At least, once you wait a year or two for perspective, anyway. I'm just trying to accelerate my own perspective a bit. ;-)

The great thing about this year is that many of my worst fears have come to pass... and it's hard to be afraid of what's already OVER.
