I posted about what I thought might contribute to an idyllic academic research community awhile ago (in truth, I posted it yesterday, but it's back-dated to when I started the post - that gives some insight into how slow I am, or how unfocused perhaps). Happy, co-existing, equal research partners.

I ran across this post today:

I just read another of his posts, where he laments having an "elephantine" memory about certain, one might say insignificant, events/conversations, but a complete inability to remember to charge his cell phone. Hmmm. I can relate.
