Dungeons, Dragons, and Brain Science

Last week I spent about an hour working up a spreadsheet to calculate some obscure price vs benefit analysis for a product I buy. Their pricing structure was technically broken, I realized—at least, the way they explained it. I waded gleefully through numbers and equations and dollar signs and came up with a much better [...]

Outliers (or, My Momentary Not-Midlife Crisis)

by Megan M. on February 19, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

I started Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers recently. I read it out of the book sometimes, and listen to the audiobook sometimes, like I did with Made to Stick. It’s pretty leisurely as absorption goes, but it’s enjoyable. Plenty of spaces between lines to think a little.

So I’ve been thinking.

Since I’m still early on in the book, [...]

Dance vs. Brain: FIGHT!

by Megan M. on February 6, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

Wednesday night at Body Choir I had some pretty fascinating trains of thought.

Terrified (Out of Habit)

by Megan M. on October 17, 2008 · View Comments (Blog) |

My first speech at Toastmasters (I know, took me long enough!) is scheduled for Monday morning, bright and early. I’m serious when I say bright and early. The meeting itself starts at 6:45 am, which forces me to make good on my 5:15 am wake-up blabber. Nice to have the universe looking out [...]

If I could only ask you to do one thing for me, for a span of about twenty minutes, all week, all month, I would ask you to please watch this video. It’s possible that this feels so profound to me because of material and ideas I’ve already begun to process, but I just [...]

The Accidental Mind

by Megan M. on October 16, 2007 · View Comments (Blog) |

Sunday afternoon I tagged along to BookPeople with Vixen to hear David Linden talk about his book, The Accidental Mind.

I hadn’t heard of it before, but having already delved into Stumbling on Happiness (Daniel Gilbert), I was instantly curious. I might truthfully have a meta-brain, which wonders about itself; if this is the case, [...]

Lumosity

by Megan M. on June 8, 2007 (Blog) |

I’ve been using Lumosity games to exercise my brain this week. Has anyone else taken a look at this? I love it so far! It feels incredibly useful to my work day. All the testimonials that talk about increased focus and productivity are right on the money, as far as I’m [...]
