Synaptic Pruning

I love the phrase "synaptic pruning", it's so dynamic... I think I may use it as the title of my next story.
For those of you unfamiliar with psychology or the brain, synaptic pruning is when irrelevant and unused connections in the brain fade away. I drew a picture of a robotic brain today. It has three skinny little robot legs and buggy eyes. I'll post it when I get a chance to scan it.
I was going through the photos on my camera today and I found this interesting picture:

"Soldier Among the Wreckage"
It was taken in the 4-H building at this year's state fair. They had a Lego table set up.

i'm not subscribed to dictionary.com's word of the day, though i will admit to scouring it's depths when i'm at a loss for words. (hahah, lame punny-type joke) which is where i found our most recent word of the day. *sheepish grin* you got me.

nah, i didn't take that photo. i wish i had. more than that, i wish i had those shoes. i do take a lot of the photos on here, but a bunch are just stock photo-type thinguses that i fall in love with on sight. heh.
