expert in a box

I think I am getting this paper structurally right plus getting the editing tools to ride over the dreadful cognitive issues I have. I actually feel sorry for anyone who has to listen to me raw. I find it fascinating that research about imagination is feeding back into essay writing tools. I hope it is entertaining to listen to.

Review of SIX

The tells the story of a night out at the Sydney Opera house to see SIX. This is a very intelligent and engaging musical as an all girl girl-band takes on being the six wives of Henry the eighth... a herstory. I was naive and fell in love with the obviously Australian accents coming from the mouths of Tudor queens. I liked the audacity of having a feminist make over of male dominated history. At the end, many hours after I am disturbed by the idea people have that this would be the last word on the subject or that this has uncovered the hidden gender dimension in the minds of historians.

NMR

Protons are not silent types but tell all if you know how to listen to them. Listen if you dare as I dispair about the mutilation of a self satisfied education system that allows protons to do what they cant, and then spooks you into believing that the tiny world is really a classical one that is behaving badly under the influence of quantum mechanics.
