- I got home last night to my son losing is 4th teeth and although I feel I'm a pretty decent parent, I'm a shitty tooth fairy. We put the boys to bed and then came down to watch Bruce Almighty (great movie) and San asked if we should go put the money under the pillow and I said no, he isn't asleep yet, we will do it on our way up to bed. We (I) watched the movie and San fell asleep, it got over and I didn't remember the whole tooth thing so I started watching The Fifth Element and fell asleep before she fell into the car. At some point in the night Nick woke up and San went to take care of him and then she just went to bed. At 6: |

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! |

- The Economist reports that a team of neurologists and computer scientists in Berlin have created a breakthrough in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) -- a system that already allows people to play Pac-Man and other video games by thought alone, using electrodes attached to players' heads as input devices. In the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCI), this is revolutionary, in two respects. First, the volunteers need only a small amount of practice before they can use the system—most brain-computer interfaces require about 200 hours of training. Second, the interface is non-invasive, and merely relies on electrodes stuck on to the skin. read the full article |
