Nov.30.2012 A Deep Dive I had heard of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brain by Nick Carr, as it received quite a bit of attention when it came out last year.

My attempts to watch the Obama inauguration this morning were thwarted by my need for sleep. I found that most annoying, and I also found the coverage by TV3 disappointing. Yesterday we left home about...	Dec.11.2008 Editing Notes and Updates I have added a few things. Still looking for more to add. I am loving the pictures!
