You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

And therein lies the problem. <grin>

Lowell George

YouTube has some real gems, including these of Little Feat from 1975 when Lowell George was still alive:

• Rock 'n' Roll Doctor (BBC)
• Fat Man in the Bathtub (BBC)
• Cold Cold Cold (Live onstage in Holland)
• All That You Dream  (Rockpalast)

Addictive: Boomshine

Boomshine is a simple-to-play twelve-level Flash game that is addictive.

Use your cursor to place an initial explosion in a field of bouncing balls.  The balls explode when they touch the original explosion.  The secret is setting up a chain reaction that takes out at least the requisite number of balls. 

The theoretical maximum score is 390 (the sum of the number of balls on each level: 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 40 + 45 + 50 + 55 + 60), but for some unknown reason I see high scores above this.  The minimum score to complete all 12 levels is 223.
