This is an article on the nevindpress.com on my childhood partner in crime during our days in elementary school - we were best friends. Recently he retired from professional "monkdom" and began his "Joyshop" tours. I spoke to him last year, after almost a decade of no conversations (we kept in touch via emails from time to time) and I must say seems to have found what he is really good at.

synesthesia means "joined sensation" (Greek, syn = together + aisthesis = perception). It refers to an involuntary physical experience in which the stimulation of one sense modality reliably causes an additional perception in a different sense or senses. For example, a synesthete might describe the color, shape, and flavor of someone's voice, or seeing the color red, a synesthete might detect the

Just finished reading a good article in May 2006 issue of WIRED Magazine on Al Gore's pro-growth, pro-tech fight against the "Climate Crisis". It's a light read, well-written (although can't help but notice the yuppie journalistic style), extermely interesting, and gives a much better perspective into Gore's passion and persona.

Richard Feynman believed that devices and materials could someday be fabricated to atomic specifications when he said, "The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom."
