An Interesting Fact
Installed the supercomputer mockup on the set of Jurassic Park
I was watching an encore presentation of “The Prisoner” the other night. This was not the 1960’s classic with Patrick McGoohan, but the re-imagination of the 1960 series with James Caviezel as Number 6 and Ian McKellen as Number 2.
In this re-imagined classic, there was a scene in episode 4 where 2 is trying to break 6’s will by controlling his emotions through some kind of designer gene therapy. 2 goes on to explain some of the TV pseudo-science behind the creation of this new therapy,... Read Full Story

Session 5 In The Dale Carnegie Course Is About Unleashing Our Potential
Just last week, I participated in Session 5 of the Dale Carnegie Course. We started the session with a warm up exercise called The Box Factory, and then we coached participants through delivering a presentation where they had to exaggerate their gestures.
In fact, they had to go beyond exaggerated gestures and show us what they were talking about. They had to physically act out the experience rather than just tell us... Read Full Story
The Connection Between Learning Power and Physical Prowess Just Got Stronger
Over the past few weeks, I've noticed a rash of articles outlining the benefits controlling your health through exercise and diet, ranging from the effects of sugar on cellular activity to the effects of obesity on brain aging.
I ran across this article in CLO Media, publisher of Chief Learning Officer Magazine. It's a column written by Fred Harburg but sites a number of references, including a study done by the ... Read Full Story
In a past post, I demonstrated how to acquire a badge from Linkedin and install the HTML code in your Blogger blog.
A number of you out there made good of that code and put it to immediate use.
Here’s what you need to know.
Facebook also offers a badge.
Plaxo offers a badge as well.
And Twitter gives you the opportunity to create a window into your tweets right on your blog.
The downside for some of these badges is that they take up a lot of real estate on your blog.
