Tuesday, September 29th, 2009It’s Official: Water Found on the Moon via Space.com
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry.

User Experience: Prototypes–visual fidelity v. functional fidelity via @boxesandarrows
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009By varying the fidelity of your prototype along the dimensions of visual design and functionality, you make your prototype more effective at achieving some goals and less effective for others.

Neurological benefits of Intermittent Fasting #ifast
Friday, September 18th, 2009Animal studies [...] have shown that both calorie restriction and intermittent fasting along with vitamin and mineral intake, increase resistance to disease, extend lifespan, and stimulate production of neurons from stem cells.

These benefits appear to result from a cellular stress response, similar in concept to the greater muscular regeneration that results from the stress of regular exercise.
Bonus. Wondering if this correlates with the release of ghrelin as discussed earlier.
