Neuroscience: A History

Often I am want to forget how fascinated I am with neuroscience. Undergrad was tumultuous, for reasons known only to those involved and that's fine. I've finally gotten myself back on track with my graduate degree in Communication Disorders and blog entries like these make me regret my undergrad course of study a little bit. I wasn't ready, I was depressed, I was too far from home. But regardless, it's a big part of who I am and it's not too late to set things right. I'd like to believe there's still a place in this world for the thinker.

Happy Blogiversary

Today marks the 8th year of the birth of this blog. With any luck, my new niece or nephew will also be born today. Hopefully, that's auspicious! Come quickly little one; we're all waiting to meet you!

Edit: OMG, just got the news about 10 minutes after this was posted. Welcome David Robert, 7lbs 6oz.!

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog

It's nice to see ol' Goeff jumping on the blogging bandwagon.   Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog: Chaucer the Holy-Wood Scabbe. (via Fussy)

Internet, sometimes we break up

But then you come back around with a gem like this, and I fall in love with you all over again: best of craigslist : The Zen of Costco.

Next, allow your body and brain to come back slowly to the real world as you face the geometry problem of loading up a 2-seater convertible with all your purchases. Will the toilet paper fit in the front seat? Spatial awareness is important. This exercise will prepare you for re-entry.

Do your research.

Tom Coates has an excellent, excellent, post regarding PR flacks, online marketing, and advertising that uses bloggers as mules for their messages: plasticbag.org: This is not a brothel....  This makes me happy that nobody knows about me or my blog.  Via Fussy.org.

Nora's mom, scoutin' for Vs

Sweet Moses, mimi smartypants, this is brilliant:

"Are you guys virgins?" They [a group of underaged boys at a local show] looked collectively offended and said no, so I said, "That's too bad, I'm kind of on a scavenger hunt." I really don't know where that came from but they ended up going away, so THE END.

I have redesigned.

I'm not sure I like it, but if you can't see it employ ye olde [shift]-reload.

I'm still twiddling and I would love your thoughts. If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them at kcurro [at]gmail[dot]com or in the comments.

We're all going to Hell.

Well said Jessica, well said: indexed: We're all going to Hell..

From the always entertaining mimi smartypants:

Also on Friday, in between chicken wings and mary jaaaaaane, I suggested to Nora that we go to the playground. She pumped her fists in the air and yelled, "SCIENTIFIC!" This is excellent happy-exclamation slang and we should all start using it immediately. Scientific is the new kick ass.
