Learn To Strategize And Exercise Your Brain - All While Having Fun!

If you still haven't, then learn this game now! It's fun and it allows you to exercise your brain!

Ever since I watched A Beautiful Mind, I've been "planning" to learn this game, called simply Go, that Nash and his buddies played in the movie (which I also recommend; it's a great movie about a great man!).

I'll never forget this scene, when he's challenged to play the game and he says this unforgettable line: "I'm terrified, mortified, petrified, stupefied... by you."

So I've had to write a few lines on the game theory tonight, which of course got me to think about that movie and in no time I wandered off to YouTube to watch some scenes.
The end results was me learning how to play Go game from this Go game interactive tutorial.
Now I have to write a few lines about game theory tomorrow morning...
But a day wasn't lost! As I learned, I played a bit of Go and I exercised my brain, which you can do too!

There's a list of software to play Go (for all kinds of platforms). Enjoy!

Great Things Are Done By A Series Of Small Things...

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”

~ George Eliot

How Google thinks?

Interesting how Google sometimes surprises me...

I searched for the idiom 'get a grip' as I was corresponding with someone by e-mail and wanted to make sure I'm using it correctly...

Anyway, after I entered 'get a grip' in Firefox Search box and pressed Enter, I quickly went back to my e-mail to finish it.

I later got back to Firefox and had something to see:

Image of Google results for get a grip

I'm not implying anything, but what did you think that baby was holding at first?

P.S. This is my very first impulsive posting here! Hurraay!!

Mind Control Marketing

Psychology is powerful stuff... Knowing psychology is a powerful weapon of influence.

So you probably wonder why somebody would write something so controversial it was later pulled off Amazon (after becoming a bestseller) because, supposedly, the information former US army intelligence agent put in it was so powerful, it could easily be used to manipulate innocent people.

There were rumors about unfinished chapter and these were apparently true!

And now, years later, it's being released again!

WARNING:
I've been told not to watch the above 2 minute video if I'm
overly-sensitive or if I have a cardio-vascular condition.

I'll tell you why it's being released again: because people need to be informed about these ideas so they may protect themselves.
