Iconoclasts
February 21, 2009The book, Iconoclast, by Gregory Berns, is an incredible amalgam of information concerning both the brain and the action centers of the individual.

As an example, a business could have made a name for themselves by doing a particular ting or producing a particular product. Eventually, [...]
Between Christmas and New Years
December 29, 2008The days that sit between Christmas and New Years have always intrigued me. For months we’ve looked toward the Christmas frenzy and then, in those few days, Christmas is over and the New Year is coming. It is in these days that reflection can come – in between a few naps!
