My NPR geek moment
Nov. 9th, 2007 03:30 pmOMG! My avatar's question to Dr. Oliver Sacks got onto Science Friday! How fun is that! Dr Sacks was talking about his book, "Musicophilia". And so I asked:
This is Rosmairta in San Jose. I have a soundtrack in my brain pretty much all the time. I'd feel rather lost without it. But I have gotten the impression that not everyone has this experience of always having music in their heads. Does Dr. Sacks have an opinion on that?
Okay, to back up. Back at Burning Life, one of the people I worked with was Bjorlyn who is one of the inworld hosts for SciFri. I thought that sounded totally cool and today I finally didn't have something happening at midday and could attend inworld. We crashed a bunch of times so I was glad I was listening to the program on the radio. *laugh* But wow. Oliver Sacks is one of my heros, I am fascinated by his brain research. I would never had made a phone call... you all know my profound phone phobia. Second Life really does provide opportunities I'd never have otherwise. :-)
