I am really sorry we did not have time to get into the blocks or socialize
much...
Where can one get a set and related refs? It would be neat to use them in
studying double stimulation and insight moments alongside a TONI sort of
test (non verbal intel.)..

Re. Judy's post on ideas for a sig award, my 1st reaction ;
 to recognize a novel, original extension or research re, CHAT , say ,
since the sig was founded?? or perhaps before..... to recognize ideas and
applications that appear seminal and may have a future in this fuzzy
paradigm/field..
with the notion that the award may help place it under a center stage/spot
lite , provide fuel for it etc etc.
Perhaps include past presentations (papers), chapters, articles and books.

Congrats to the newly elected officers! May you take us to ever interesting
levels in Chicago Chicago...

Naw. I think the evidence only supports the conclusion that you are getting
unrecognizable. It just happens that you are also getting old.

BTW, Ana, thanks for bringing the "Vygotsky" blocks. It was fun to watch
Michael (the other one) change in front of me.
