“We ended up at a pretty ritzy restaurant. Once we were seated Dean pulled out his laptop and called Darren on Skype. We made him full screen and sat him at the table across from ours. It made him seem as if he was eating with us virtually.
Dean took the laptop and walked Darren around with the camera on so he could get a feel for what our surroundings were like. Someone walking by knew Darren and hollered out to him. It was wild, just like he was really there.
The waiter came up and greeted us all including Darren. When he found out he was from Canada he began to sing the Canadian National Anthem.”Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach

Blogging makes you happy - it's official. Elissa Baxter reports.
When the first blogs were posted in late 1998, they were a novelty. Today, blogging is so ubiquitous that health professionals have begun investigating the health effects of blogging as an activity - concluding that blogging can foster critical thinking and feelings of connection.Swinburne University will soon publish a paper which concludes that people who blog feel less isolated and more satisfied with their friendships.

US neurologists Fernette and Brock Eide... concluded that blogging can be a powerful promoter of creative, intuitive and associational thinking.
The sheer ease of being able to publish a blog promotes spontaneous connections and fosters creativity. The neurologists also concluded that blogging promotes critical and analytical thinking because blogs, at their best, are rich in ideas and promote active exchange and critique.
