Hiatus | 400 | Index

Brain Capacity is on hiatus.

Please check again later.

This post, my 400th entry to Brain Capacity, will be my last for awhile. I have really enjoyed posting my (non) thoughts here. The album and song spotlights have been my most regular type of entry. I've shared my love of all things related to the Beatles, ELO / Jeff Lynne, Guess Who / Bachman / Cummings and other classic rock heroes. I've also posted write-ups on cameras and cars; revealing posts about articles; occasional political rants; and many, many lists, including: dog names; TV stations in Illinois; electronics stores in Saskatchewan, Utah or Ireland; hospitals in New Zealand; cities in France and Argentina; KFC locations in Australia; scientific and cultural topics; Star Trek; and so many other useless subjects.

I originally planned to keep Brain Capacity running for a year. I have done that, with 10 preview posts in 2005, and 390 in 2006 – an average of just over one post a day. It has been swell. I am taking a bit of a break from posting for now. But beware ... I will return. Probably. Maybe.

As a way of noting all that I have posted here, I leave you with a complete index of all the posts to Brain Capacity.
