R. I. P. Majel Barrett Roddenberry

I missed this  one over the weekend. I remember with every new Star Trek that came out mom and I would listen closely to see if she was doing the computer voice. A sad day for Star Trek fans indeed.



Edited to add: User Friendly's salute to Majel

An Interesting Lecture

 

I just got around to watching this 20 or so minute talk from a brain researcher who had a stroke. The end maybe a little esoteric for some, but it is interesting to hear her perspective of what happened.

 

Time & Attention Presentation: "Who Moved My Brain?"

 

Who Moved My Brain? Revaluing Time & Attention (slideshare.net)

 

I have read 43Folders for awhile now, and this is a quick reminder for those of us who are in knowledge work. Having not seen Merlin's presentation I am not sure how much you loose, but I still found it useful enough. One of those things everyone needs to review from time to time.
