We all have dreams, or at least goals that we know are probably not going to be totally realized. Its one of the hallmarks for a successful person, that they set goals that others will tell you are impossible to reach. These goals are the driving force behind many of the most exciting [...]

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

I also cover a science story on why you can remember great jokes and stories…but not who you told them to.
