Neuroscience
Health problems kept me off my keyboard. While I recuperated, a diet of hardcover books instead of RSS feeds changed my priorities a bit.
I'd been neglecting other projects for this blog. The intarweb is a highly distracting time suck, as I'm sure you know. I'm working on a better balance, but for now am reallocating this time until I finish a book I'm working on or at least set a better schedule.

To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself I stay on the run. --Jeanette Winterson, The PowerBook The Neurocritic was very busy with one deadline after another, then went missing. Rumor has it that the semi-regular blogging...
- New Reading Group: Chemero (2009), Radical Embodied Cognitive Science
I thought it was time to pick up the next book I have on my list to go through here on the blog. This is Tony Chemero's book, Radical Embodied Cognitive Science (hence RECS). I've read through it once, and it inspired me to write on affordances...
