Thursday, April 26th, 2007With one of my coworkers, Adam, getting married very shortly, my thoughts turned to the innumerable details that swarm from the very mention of the word, “wedding.” Of all the elements that make for a successful wedding, perhaps none captures the attention of the graphic designer as the wedding announcement and invitation. Should that glad day eventually wend its way into my plans, I am sure that designing a fabulous and memorable card will be high on my priority list.
Unfortunately, for many brides- and grooms-to-be, it is also a burdensome expense. Sending custom cards to hundreds of potential attendees, as well as to those you full well know will not attend but would be mad if you didn’t invite them, can cost no small sum. This started me thinking about alternatives. Not that I would use these myself (honest!), but perhaps someone will find a lifesaver here.
Reading Minds
Monday, April 24th, 2006“What would it mean to be able to listen in on other’s thoughts? This idea has been a science fiction staple, but recent advances in imaging and neuropsychology are starting to make it look as if it might soon be possible.” From the Quirks and Quarks website.
One of the podcasts that I subscribe to on iTunes is “Quirks and Quarks,” a science talk show. I don’t listen to every episode, but mainly the ones that especially interest me. This one titled, “Reading Minds,” grabbed my attention. And it was definitely worth listening to. You can find a link to this particular program here. Prepare to be surprised and amazed, if not somewhat concerned. If you’re the fun-loving type, pay particular attention to the small segment on “false memories,” and to the word list that is given, and to the questions that immediately follow. I fell for this mental trick, and the explanation of why it works is quite revealing.
