A Typical Saturday

People often ask me why I am the way I am. I really have no definitive answer for them, but I thought perhaps if you took a look at how I've spent the "online" portion of my Saturday.
Reading about traumatic brain injury(T.B.I.), including the following de-luscious excerpts:

-First, defining T.B.I.

Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain...

-In reference to Coup-Contrecoup Injury,
This occurs when the force impacting the head is not only great enough to cause a contusion at the site of impact, but also is able to move the brain and cause it to slam into the opposite side of the skull, which causes the additional contusion.

I also read up on B.E.A.R.- the Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot. Took a peek at Sims Zealot - The Fundamentalist Expansion Pack.

And then after coming across a RollingStone.com mentioning of the current state of RATM, I decided to access some politically dissident readings online (thanks in part to the wayback machine!)

V.I. Lennin - The State and Revolution

Noam Chomsky - What Uncle Sam Really Wants
Ernesto "Che" Guevara - Guerrilla Warfare
Abbie Hoffman - Steal This Book

Recently I obtained the tools with which to brew my own sudsy delights, but am currently in a state where a career shift has resulted in a bevy of new at-work learning/preparation to be completed. This being the case, since I can't set aside the time to read up on Water Chemistry Adjustment for Extract Brewing or Determining Bicarbonate Additions to Raise the Mash pH, I thought I'd just stumble around and nibble on beery tidbits.

So there you have it.

On a semi-related note: Check out some Asteroid Impact Theory, as pertaining specifically to Antipodal Point Deformations. Its remarkably like Coup-Contrecoup Injury, if the human skull had a molten core...and the blunt force came from a large chunk of space rock. I'll fill you in at our next Tai Dirt-Holin' meeting.
