  • Following up on Impulse Control,…

    When I was much younger, naive and foolish I made the mistake of believing there were no consequences for my actions. How little did  I know. When applied to my time working for a lumber yard in Virginia I made a few enemies. This memory was made all to relevant given my recent discovery of…

  • Impulse Control & Little Differences

    I watched an interesting show on NOVA last night about the differences between apes and humans. In the 2 decades or so after KoKo the gorilla was taught sign language, more and more Psychologists have attempted to observe the ‘natural’ tendencies of Bonobos and Chimpanzees in the wild. Chimps not only use tools, they hunt.…

  • I don’t remember things being like this

This was especially true for people in the middle of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, and anyone in Manhattan during…

  • Epigenetics way more interesting than genetics

    Your environment has an effect on your genes. It’s been proven by medical studies treating cancer patients with drugs that remove the methylating groups from their genes. This is without a doubt the truest benefit from having sorted out the genetic code. First we learned the code, now we understand the operating system the runs…

  • Tokyo International Forum

    Tokyo International Forum Originally uploaded by Stéfan. Next time in Japan, I’m taking a swing by the Tokyo train station and walking a few blocks over to the Forum. I’ve seen so many pictures I feel like it would be pretty cool to see it in person as well.

  • Would notebook’s clues have headed off 9-11?

    WASHINGTON — Two numbers scrawled in a notebook that belonged to terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui could have given the FBI a chance to identify several of the Sept. 11 hijackers before they struck six years ago, according to officials who are familiar with the bureau’s massive investigation of the attacks. read more | digg story
