Stanford study: Media multitaskers pay mental price – Seems reasonable to me. I’m an avid web surfer and my subjective impression is that I don’t concentrate as well as I did before immersing myself in the web….

Intervention – A&E TV – I was watching this show with the Woman and they had a lady on there who was an alcoholic and when she was not able to get vodka she would drink mouthwash.
Not a good idea, if the 20% or more alcohol content doesn’t do you in, there is something else in there that may well be even more toxic: Methyl salicylate.
Wikipedia articles: Methyl Salicylate, Intervention (counseling)

This afternoon I pondering what I ought to do. Suddenly it occurred to me fix my printer/scanner. A while back I figured out why it wasn’t working; it was unplugged ! LOL ! Until now I did not feel motivated to crawl around on the floor through the maze of wires and cables in my computer room to correct the problem. Today something bit me on the ass and I decided to go through with it and get it done. I actually don’t use the printer very much at all; when I need to print I use my office printers. The scanner though is something I do like to use, so today I figured I would get that up and running.
So, I found the wires in question and plugged them in and lo and behold – the printer is working ! Actually the printer is not working because it needs ink cartridges which I am way too cheap to buy at the moment; since I don’t print much anyway. However, the scanner is working as evidenced by the fine picture of me on this post.
I was impressed with the ease of getting it working. I did not have to download any drivers like I did on my previous computer. Windows 7 found the printer right away and installed drivers. I like that !

Facebook, MySpace Divide Along Social Lines : NPR - I have both but I do much prefer facebook over mySpace. There is way too much sleaze on mySpace and cluttered pages. I would prefer Twiiter over them both but no one I know uses Twitter; most are facebook. Management at my office recently blocked facebook, which was annoying from my standpoint; the odd thing is though they didn’t block myspace ’cause I checked earlier today. Go figure….
