Nowadays, there are multitudes of folks claiming they are subject to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Had I been born later, I am sure I would d have been so diagnosed. But, I squeaked by, since no one knew much about this.

I have written many times about this. (Here’s one of my first hints.) And, many folks looked askance or made negative comments. But, for those who know me, that didn’t mean I would back down on my scientific hunch. Now, there’s data to substantiate what I felt in my bones.
A blessing on your head, mazel tov, mazel tov…
Now, that corporate taxes have all been filed (whaddaya mean you haven’t filed yet?), a great burden has been lifted. Oh, sure, I still have a slew of personal taxes to compute and file for my clients, but about 2/3 of those needs are related to the corporate taxes we already filed.

Fidgetty?
You know those overnight sensations that take decades to become so? Well, that’s what we are going to talk about today. Moreover, it’s going to involve two things near and dear to my heart- Israel and chemical engineering!
The same- but different?
I received a note from the author of the study, Luisa Livingstone, who provided more information and corrections- not the least of which is that she has not yet been awarded a PhD. This reflects her additional information.

I’ve written about Bob Langer before. (This is one of my more recent mentions.) He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever known and has been involved in the development of a slew of radically different products. He’s also one of the founders of Pure Tech. (He is not an employee there- he stays associated with MIT, where he guides the next generation of prolific inventors to help make this world great.)
Premature death?
Harness, not Repress
I’m old enough that I was spared the craze of this generation. The diagnosis of ADD or ADHD (attention deficit disorder or attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder). It spared my elder children, as well- but my youngest was born when such diagnoses were far more prevalent.

I admit it. My desk at home is a mess. My office is chock-a-block full with stuff. (That’s even after I gave away some 25000 books this past year.) My desks at my clients’ facilities are spic and span. (That has more to do with the fact that I am only at their facilities one, two, or three days a week- and I don’t want prying eyes when I am gone.)
