The GDF 10 protein inducing axonal sprouting - an entirely different process when compared to regular learning … amazing what transpires in that tiny space… Podcast: Science of Survival Ep 18: Racing a Dying Brain When something goes wrong in the wilderness, someone needs to evacuate and get help. When that someone is you, and every minute counts, the stress is enormous. And you just might not be fast enough. Srikanth Perinkulam ...

Moved on to Prasarita Padottanasana A, B, C, D and Parsvottanasana to close out the fundamental positions this week. Remembering the sequence in tandem with the breath flow and stabilizing the body posture is a task! Every time I feel I’ve learnt one vinyasa well, I end up faltering on another. No wonder it’s recommended that you practice it daily! Srikanth Perinkulam

Reminds me to clean up my facepiles too! Liked: Facepile Lives Rough, but any new ‘like’ webmention to my site will be given a ‘like’ custom comment type and displayed in a facepile. Still need to convert the existing ones. See both previous (for now) and new likes on this post about Fr. Srikanth Perinkulam

Great day out with the kids. Hit Callahan State Park for a short hike. Getting them out of the house was probably the toughest part ! Today’s hike was also a test run before we take them on a longer hike next weekend. The 8 mile Skyline trail at Middlesex fells should be a challenging hiking exposure for them. Can’t wait! Last Christmas, we got them all hydration bags as a suggestive nudge. They’ve been super excited to use those and this summer was a good time to get them rolling on the trails together. Only wish they lived closer to Boston. We’re lucky to have several splendid trails around here. Would have been a fabulous training ground for them…Well, well… ...

The nuclear force under water. Nature trumps all ingenuity. Podcast: #779: Shrimp Fight Club What happens when an unstoppable shrimp meets an unmovable senator? A researcher goes to Washington to defend herself, her shrimp, and science itself. Srikanth Perinkulam

5 reps of Sun salutations A, 8 reps of Sun salutation B, 2 reps each of Padangusthasana, Padahasthasana, Uthita Trikonanasa and Parivrita Trikonasana leading into Uthita Parshvakonasana and Parivrita Parshvakonasana and finally closing out with the three seated poses - Yoga mudra,Padmasana,Utplutih and Shavasana. Took close to an hour for the whole session. On a related note, slowly transitioning to taking cold water showers everyday. Discussions with David at the TARC Camp earlier this month and reading What doesn’t kill us have nudged me to get back to my old habits which I conveniently gave up when I moved to the US four years ago. I’ll have to revisit this once temps go way down south but for now I’m more than happy sticking to it! ...

Love the idea! Essentially I guess this falls into the bigger picture of organically building ‘Indiweb groups’ which gets people more engaged in discussions around the open-web (and otherwise!) and would be a welcoming segway for those who are already on the verge of taking that step! in reply to: IndieWeb podcast club …like a book club, but for podcasts, and distributed over the indieweb. Anyone interested? Here is how I imagine it would work. ...

Wow, didn’t realize this was 12 years in the making! Hats off for all the efforts! in reply to: This year: active community members are blogging on 🎂 #microformats.org turned 12 today! This year: active community members are blogging on microformats.org Srikanth Perinkulam

While responding to one of Tantek’s post today I realized I had to tweak my publishing workflow to pick ’the’ link I was responding to. Should possibly consider using Colin’s Dom method to fetch article meta… Srikanth Perinkulam

Was introduced to Padangusthasana, Padahastasana followed by Trikonasana A and Trikonasana B today. Called for a bit of stability and a lot of focus! I seem to have a got a hang of the Sun Salutations. I did catch myself doing a few mistakes, but guess that’s good. Was in sync with Miss Me for the most part today and realised I wasn’t doing the last three closing sequences quite right…nuances! Some more practice and it should soon be second nature… ...
