Favorite Quote:  "If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. If you wanted to create a business environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a cubicle. And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear down both and start over." - Dr. John J. Medina, author of Brain Rules

Most interesting thing I've learned recently:  The proper name for a crash test dummy is Anthropomorphic Test Device.

In 2010, I’m most looking forward to:  watching brainwoo (and everything it is about) turn 1

My favorite memory of
the last decade is: Without a doubt, August 17, 2009 - the birth of my little girl, McLean.
