As some of you may or may not know who read this blog, I have synesthesia. My synesthesia is associated with words/letters = colors, music = colors, people = colors, time/calendar = colors. As I've aged, the synesthetic responses have faded a little, so some things that used to be completely overwhelming as a child are a little easier to handle now, thankfully. If you're curious to know more about this interesting neurological condition, read this article from NPR. Then hop over to see what Vladimir Nabokov had to say about his experience as a synesthete.
I'm not sure what to think about this article called "The Touch-Screen Generation", which explores how the youngest children are growing up with instant access to immediate gratification games and "educational" apps on the iPad. What do you think?

Have we ever discussed having synesthesia? I also have it. Letters and numbers have genders and personalities to me. Even some words and colors have genders and personality. I didn't know that it was unusual until college. I thought everyone knew that A is a female and is quite delicate! I didn't know the word synesthesia until Heather S. put a name to it several years ago. We should talk sometime!
