A few things for you this morning
First, awesome: superpowers, nearly. I am not kidding when I say I would be willing to test like a robotic third arm or something to see if my brain could figure out what to do with it.
Second, here’s a joke I read in Maxim:
What’s the number one most effective pick-up line?
“Does this smell like chloroform to you?”
Third, do you subscribe to Wired magazine? You know how we were talking about subscribing to a men’s magazine? I think Wired might be a good option, even though it is not technically just a men’s magazine. I read one on the plane on my trip to Ashland (I also read a Maxim, and the joke above was the only worth-repeating bit of information I got from it, so I would say that one is out of the running) and dang, does it have a TON of useful information in it! It has business, technology, gadgets, politics, and wicked cool random facts. All kinds of useful “how-to’s” like the men’s magazines, minus all the ads for after-shave, body spray, and hookers.
Okay, I had another project I wanted to post today, but I think I actually have to get some work done right now.

Sweet! Ok, i haven’t read the MIT article yet but I agree, I have often wished that I could insert electrodes into my brain and zap it in a few places just to see what happens. Did I send you the article on the Deep Brain Stimulation therapy going on right now (mainly in Europe)? They are using it to treat stuff like OCD and Depression and there is no invasive instruments just very concentrated waves. I’ll send you the article later.
Also, Wired, ok. lets do it. I think Max has a bunch of back issues i could read to see if I’ll like it but if you say its good then I believe you!
