Blogging distractions

The title says it all!

Things have been getting progressively more hectic this last month and this caused me to not turn my attention to blogging. Anyway, I am back now and the news is that I have left the big corporation that I was working for - handed my phone and laptop and passes and everything over yesterday - phew! So, now the real fun begins about building a business...

Some links that have caught my attention the last couple of days:

• What if you lost your job tomorrow ? How long could you survive on your savings ? I am very surprised at these results.
  
• The West is doing this too! Forget about data privacy violations in far off places...
• Tilt-shift lenses are seriously cool!
  
• One man's brain rewires itself! Has anyone done any research into the mechanisms that could be at work here ? Is this a general maintenance procedure that is affected because of the major brain damage, or is it an emergency repair procedure that kicks in because of the major brain damage ??
