Is This Your Brain On God?
More than half of adult Americans report they have had a spiritual experience that changed their lives. Now, scientists from universities like Harvard, Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins are using new technologies to analyze the brains of people who claim they have touched the spiritual from Christians who speak in tongues to Buddhist monks to people who claim to have had near-death experiences. Hear what they have discovered in this controversial field, as the science of spirituality continues to evolve.

Official Gmail Blog: So, you want to be a Gmail ninja?
From the page: "If you got 100 new messages, how long would it take you to get through them all? An hour? Five minutes? How would you find the important ones, reply to the ones that require an immediate reply, and mark the ones that you needed to take care of later? Would you use stars, filters, keyboard shortcuts, labels? What about Gmail Labs like

Sharing Files With BitTorrent
Everybody loves BitTorrent. And rightfully so.
With BitTorrent, you also start by placing your large file on a central server. But once the downloading begins, something magical happens: as clients download the file, they share whatever parts of the file they have with each other. Clients can opportunistically connect with any other client to obtain

I am not on facebook-twitter addict!
I recently learned an interesting fact as my family was up visiting. Apparently people a few of my friends and family have been wondering..
Is Brad on facebook all the time? It seems every 20 minutes he updates his facebook status!
So I figured I'd write this entry to help clear up a few misconceptions.
Most of what I do is automated and this article and the related audio file will explain how it all works.

The Baton (pt 1 of 3)
I am touched by all the people you have reached by your messaged, and saddened by the toll it has taken on you and your family, and in truth, I feel partially responsible.
A friend sent me your video (the orginal one not uploaded by you - some guy johnq5) a while back. I think at the time it had about 100,000 views. I found the video so interesting that I added it to my site, and to a service you may be famililar with (www.stumbleupon.com). Only I embeded your video on my blog (http://blog.bwebcentral.com/626)
Since that time your video continues to be the most popular video that my site recieves. So much, in fact, that on occasions it has brought down my webserver and I have had to make several adjustments to handle the load.
Anyway, at the time, I had no idea this single video would spawn into so much work for you, and drive your passion to educate and inform others about the global warming debate and what people can do. I greatly admire you unique use of skills as a teacher and your unique style to bring this information to the forefront of people's minds.
So while the news of your resignation maybe saddening, as well as the toll this has had on your family, please rest assured that you have made a difference for many people and will continue to do so for many years to come.
Sincerely, Brad D. http://www.bwebcentral.com
