Repurposing
Sunday, November 21, 2010   9:51 PM

I've been thinking it over, and I don't know that I've used my ratings here more than once or twice. So I'm re-purposing this site to help me keep track of something else: the tip-of-the-tongue facts and garbled anecdotes that I have to deal with, not necessarily just when I've been drinking, but more often than not. Call it a memory aid, or maybe penance. Updates will be spartan-to-occasional.

I'll start off with tetrachromat. I've had "colors vision: look this up" in my phone notes for a year or two, because I could never remember the term. Some women apparently have an extra type of cone beyond the standard blue-green-red, somewhere between green and red, and this boosts their color perception from the standard 1 million to around 100 million. Searching again for info it sounds like human tetrachromancy has been confirmed but only in a few cases.
