Brain Differences Found Between Believers in God and non-believers
March 8th, 2009
This is a really interesting study, here is a quick excerpt:
In two studies led by Assistant Psychology Professor Michael Inzlicht, participants performed a Stroop task – a well-known test of cognitive control – while hooked up to electrodes that measured their brain activity.
Compared to non-believers, the religious participants showed significantly less activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a portion of the brain that helps modify behavior by signaling when attention and control are needed, usually as a result of some anxiety-producing event like making a mistake. The stronger their religious zeal and the more they believed in God, the less their ACC fired in response to their own errors, and the fewer errors they made.

Pyramid cam, live webcam of the pyramids
February 11th, 2009
I think this is a really great idea.
pyramidcam.com has a fixed webcam on the pyramids at Giza 24/7.
Purpose – PyramidCam was conceived principally to provide a unique high quality view over time of the Pyramids at Giza for those around the world who might never have the opportunity to visit – we meant for it to be the next best thing. We also wish to encourage Egypt tourism and judging from the millions of viewers we are reaching and the many many emails that we have received praising the site, wondering at the unique power and beauty of the Pyramids and (the writers) promising to make a visit at the first opportunity, we know we have succeeded, at least in some small degree.

Mfuwe – A MUST SEE
February 1st, 2009
A regular occurrence at the Mfuwe Lodge in the South Luangwa National Park
in Zambia where the lodge was unwittingly built on the Elephant’s
traditional path through to some wild mango trees on the property.
The herd of a dozen or so elephants walk through the lodge’s reception area
at least twice a day for about 4 weeks and then sporadically for about
another 3 weeks to feed on the trees.
No incidents reported to date!
Here are some pictures:

I have learnt – Some inspiration
January 30th, 2009
Here is some inspiration for you.
I’ve Learned-
that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I’ve learned-
that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.
I’ve learned-
that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I’ve learned-
that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I’ve learned-
that it’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

Quotes for the day 27 Jan
January 27th, 2009
To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.
Aristotle
This may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I’m talking about.. when I’m talking about myself, and when he’s talking about myself, all of us are talking about me.
George W Bush
Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
In the end it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.
Your eyes will see strange sightes and your mind imagine confusing things.
