I love hearing about geniuses, and this one was really interesting in that he's a sane genius. This guy, known as "Brain Man" to his friends and family, Daniel Tammet, to the world, can recite about 23,000 numbers in Pi, without getting one wrong. I want to try and find the pictures he sees in his mind that represent the numbers, its nuts. Here's the story:http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/26/60minutes/main2401846.shtml
And his website: http://www.optimnem.co.uk/

Quick, you can still click the back button!
If one person reads this...it'll be someone I know who I told to "check out my blog".
I want this foray in to world wide web to focus on Education because I believe that's what I want to do with my life (see soon-to-come manifesto-i.e. Jerry Maguire). I promise to make at least three jokes per entry. I promise to never think this "blog" to be anything more than my opinions mixed in with links to interesting (to me) news. I am a teacher and would like other teachers to connect with me through this blog. Also, I promise to make multiple Buffalo Bills references because any mention of them, to me, immediately gives anything credibility (Buffalo Bills Style).
That's what this blog is for now. I should say that The World Of Inquiry was my first school, also known at PS #58, here in Rochester NY.
Go Bills,
Colin
