It's Friday!
Book excerpt of the day - from Stephen Bury's Interface, about a stroke victim with a new computer chip healing technology.They set an ambitious schedule for him, worrying that they might stress him out and overwork him, and he left that schedule in the dust. First thing in the morning, the physical therapists came in, at first helping him move his limbs, later, when he got the hang of that, running him through exercises. Then the speech therapist came in and got him to put his tongue and lips in certain positions, got him to make certain sounds, and then to string those sounds together into syllables and words. Following an afternoon nap, the physical therapists would come back in and work on the parts of his body that they had missed in the morning. During the evenings he could relax, watch TV, read.
He exercised his speech during physical therapy and he exercised his body during speech therapy. He also exercised both of them while he was pretending to take his afternoon nap, and then he exercised them all evening long when he was supposed to be taking it easy. He even woke up in the middle of the night and exercised.
Motivating. I actually brushed my teeth when I didn't feel like it last night, guilted into it by that fictional guy.
Video of the day - Hotel Survival with George Egg. If you think your kitchen sucks, check out this guy cooking in a hotel room. This brings back memories of when I cooked in a dorm room for a summer using only a hot pot. I was not as smart as this guy, and my food was not as good.
I love how he actually uses things found in hotels like the little cup and the Bible. He does have one knife they don't explain; I'll assume he's not traveling by plane.
