I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to Water Taxi Beach last night to hear me, Dan Ariely and the Radio Lab team talk about the irrational brain. I had a great time. I hope you did, too. I'd never been to that "beach" before, but it's quite the spot to enjoy a beer, especially on such a lovely summer evening.
And if anyone has been to other Science Festival events, please put your comments below. I was especially excited about the creativity panel, with Ramachandran and Bill T. Jones.
Update: Pictures here.

"Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike." -Alexander Pope

wow, you're the editor for seed mag, too? that's crazy, i JUST ordered it like 5 days ago.

Just received my copy of "Imaginative Minds", ed. Ilona Roth, from Amazon. An interesting collection of scholarly articles on the topic of creativity. Unfortunately, in trying to break "creativity" into its component parts the "spark" of creativity is lost. The pedantic nomenclature masks poetic sentiments. As I am dealing with a massive creative block myself, I had hoped to learn about creativity to "free" me up. Instead I feel I must address the "inner critic" and the "inner censor" in a psychoanalytic manner and hope that the creativity I felt in my twenties will return.
