I just started reading “Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life” (Steven Johnson) today, and then find a link to his blog tonight. Synchronicity! After reading through most of the stuff there, and subscribing to his RSS feed so I don’t miss anything, I finally found a link to a review he wrote of the Jim Carrey movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’ve just read, in creating the links that it was a Kaufman film (ie. Being John Malkovitch / Adaptation).

I may have to rent it and have a watch.

So, here’s SBJ’s article: The Science of Eternal Sunshine - You can’t erase your boyfriend from your brain, but the movie gets the rest of it right. By Steven Johnson: http://slate.msn.com/id/2097502/

Typing Naracoorte into CityBrowser provides some interesting things to chuckle about:

Citybrowser reveals everything about a town!

Naracoorte is located on the Keith to Mount Gambier Road, 350 km. Naracoorte was like over 200,000 years ago. Naracoorte in the heart of the south-east of South Australia and provides visitors the opportunity to purchase direct from. Naracoorte will host. Naracoorte is situated in the south east of South Australia, wine lovers have become to know this popular area as the Limestone Coast region. Naracoorte was founded by Scotsman William MacIntosh in 1845. Naracoorte in the heart of the Limestone Coast. Naracoorte will lead you through to the next wine zone, Wrattonbully, a new wine district.

The one I like best is the one in red above: I thought someone might have been blogging about Naracoorte, and read it as “Naracoorte was, like, over 200,000 years ago”. But a quick Google produced a couple of pages about the Wonambi caves, and “…what Naracoorte was like over 200,000 years ago…”

And apparently Naracoorte hosts the biggest tractor and engine rally in March. Might have to go home then…

We spent the first part of the first day back at school watching a short video about a Chicago Fishmonger where they throw the fish around, and have heaps of fun.

We had to relate that back to our own employment within a school. I’m not sure some of the members of my group took it completely seriously.

The best thing we came up with was Curriculum is a Fish.

Make of that what you will.
