Blogger tips, tricks and your brain!

Hey there!

I found a blog which deals with what I need... you probab'ly might too. Here's Peter Chen's Blogger Tips and Tricks.

In my times of serenity and isolation, I heard this song played on the radio some years ago and now I stumbled upon a live video at The Rat Squeaks. Check out the video of From Both Sides Now at Joni Mitchelle's Getting Older. Hair raising moment for me, I felt like crying over my youthful mistakes in life!

Here's Chessie on an article about women and chess... and that quote from Garry K "Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players:..." Hmm! Gender-biased in a modern thinking world from a modern thinking man? Can't really blame the former world champion guys. If you get to the scholastic, age group level, you'll know that the number one player in the girls division will have a difficult time winning against your second rate player in the boys division. Now I'm saying this not to degrade the female species but to promote this non-exclusion scheme tournament for both girls and boys. The Polgar's have shown it can be done... let's do it!

Speaking of the Polgar's, here's something from Secrets of a Grandpatzer Chess and his Polgar Error post. Check it out! Here's a mother's blog post on playing chess with her son at Rational Jenn. Still on women, here's Mommy Warriors and their post on Idaho Turns to Chess as Education Strategy.

Here's a post regarding personal chess trainer, harmful or helpful? And yes, the eternal armchair comparison between the left-brain and right-brain learners and learning styles, this time it goes like Chess in the classroom, left brained, right brained... The real question could be "Will it give them the necessary skills to survive school and the real world?

That's all for now and yes, Easter Sunday is hours away. The malls are now open and guess life is back to the normal rat race.
