Salvation - Book Review (re-read)

The sequel to Salvation just came out, so before that I wanted the previous book fresh on my mind, instead of the usual state of things, where I slowly remember important details as they appear on the new book. ( My original review of the book ) I have to say it held very well on the re-read, and I might have enjoyed the tech of the world even more. Portals, widespread AIs, genetic manipulation, etc. I am really looking forward to reading the sequel.

Mindshift - Course Review

Mindshift is a course by the same author of Learning How to Learn - Barbara Oakley. It is not as good as that one, but there are lots of interesting tidbits to learn. Somewhat entertaining  - even the tests, which as some have said, are mostly there because it is traditional - they are VERY easy and I imagine without watching the course. I really like that the transcripts are great. If you prefer reading to videos, you can just read and occasionally click to watch the video, if the text refers to something in it. It is short enough that it is well worth the time. It is free on Coursera .

Divi 4.0

Divi 4.0 has been released . It is a nice WordPress theme that allows you lot of configuration and page building options, and it includes a lot of new features in this release. Personally I never used it other than on a test site, but it looks very good. Price is reasonable, specially if you get it at a discount. I probably wouldn't bother commenting on it normally, but there is a promotion...

A Lei da Atração - Book Review

A Lei da Atração, by Michael J. Losier is a book about putting "The Secret" to work for you. I got it from Amazon Prime Reading. I found it somewhat interesting. There are some practices that seem helpful, and some, like making a journal of good things that happen to you, has been featured on studies on simple practices to be happier.

A Sabedoria da Transformação - Book Review

Just finished A Sabedoria da Transformação by Monja Coen - which I got from Amazon Prime Read. A lot of interesting tidbits. And for whatever reason, it is a very pleasing read, and gave me a sense of well being and wanting to help more.
