CCFA: Crohn's | Colitis | IBD

What I learned today: If one embarks on short 1.8 mile walk in support of The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, it is not a good idea to warm up with a 5 mile walk in the city!

Finch song learning in the news again

It is wonderful what the human mind can study. I am not knocking the research - it could lead to wonderful insights about brain function. Best comment: New Scientist: "Birds tweet using grammar." bit.ly/r554qR If they can do it, what on earth's stopping all of you?

Beyond the Brain

"The brain is not the mind" he says, repeatedly. Ummm yes -- it is! We just don't know the details - and will never know. I have a mathematical proof (based on Godel's theorem) that we will never know the details, but it is too long to fit in this space.

Google acquires Waze (for real this time)—likely for $1B-plus

Waze is the wonderful street map that took me to a plowed field and wanted me to drive straight across. I guess I forgot to tell it I was not driving a tank. First Apple screwed up their maps, and now Google is determined to do the same! Drivers, beware!
