How do we learn?
In medieval times holes were drilled in people’s heads with the intention that the information would go into the brain seamlessly. I’ll bet that worked out well for them.

OH MY GOODNESS! It is so HOT! I mean, like it is seriously, record-breaking HOT.
I have already ranted about my negative relationship with summer but, like it is SUMMER. Summer is HOT. Right? And that is not news? Or is it?
It is officially the middle of the summer.
As a kid, once the 4th sputtered out, there was always a kind of ‘grace’ period between mid-July and late-August. September was a hazy mirage – you knew it was out there somewhere in the tomorrow-land of childhood.
We came back from the Health Physics Society annual meeting last week in West Palm Beach with renewed enthusiasm and energy. It is always good to see old friends, favorite customers and all of the new, fresh faces in our industry. We enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship. Thanks to all who stopped by our booth, signed up for the HDTV raffle and a special thanks to those of you who requested quotes and demos.
Whose Garden Is This?
Sitting on my deck this morning watching the leaves on the trees meeting the breeze, the birds chirping at each other and the perfect natural stillness. No cars, no lawnmowers heaving and grinding, just me and my coffee remembering what summer is and what it was…
First off, a big thank you to all who signed up for our email newsletter if you weren’t already on our list. Our newsletter launch will be in July so we hope you look forward to it.
I AM A SIMULATOR …
Close your eyes and what do you see when you hear the word? Do you see a sexy electronic instrument that makes your radiation training more efficient and effective? Or do you see an old, hippy blogger struggling to come up with something clever for this week’s posting?
There is a lot of talk these days about ‘being prepared’. And there always has been. It is a kind of amorphous concept that can be applied to so many of the issues and dilemmas that take place in our most private to our most public lives. From the Boy Scout motto to the hucksters lamenting the end of the world while trying to sell us freeze-dried pellets of so-called sustenance.
Watching the town of Joplin, MO trying to recover from their loss of everything dear to them… seeing Japan shattered by the tsunami as they are shuffled from their homes due to the fallout of the compromised Fukushima nuclear power station. These tragedies, on such a grand scale, terrify and haunt us while making us worry, if only in passing, about our own safety and security. How would we come back from such tragedy? Are we sufficiently prepared to meet the whims of nature?
