I am completely infatuated with it. I had never played Sudoko in my life and within moments I was a master. lol I must admit the Brain Training Software available on the Nintendo DS is still one of the most impressive pieces of technology I’ve seen in years.

I have been developing programs to enhance brain function including brain fitness software (<a href="http://www.brainbuilder.com rel="nofollow">brainbuilder.com</a>) for over ten years. The foundation for a fit brain is proper nutrition, supplements, exercise, the right attitude, and as little stress as possible! Oh, and plenty of music for good measure. The right brain fitness software can definitely improve specific cognitive functions, but there is no substitute for a balanced, healthy lifestyle. I have been reading your blog for a few months now and really enjoy your style! Keep the good stuff coming. Adding you to my blogroll today. Best, Alex Tori,

(Hey, I like that word, <i>overwhelmededness</i>. Think I'll keep it.) I'm putting together an e-course on the topic, that should launch by the end of this quarter. Hopefully, there will be an ebook to go along with it, covering the basics, but those are still both a ways off. And how about if next week, I work on three posts... one with quick reviews/suggestions on the products available, another on selecting the right program for you, and a third as a summary of what else you can do to aid in brain fitness. Would that help? I can't promise to get them all done, because I have my own brain-challenges, but I'll do my best :) And you're welcome, Mr.Certified Old Guy! ; ) I understand totally, Mike… and I’ve got a couple of ideas in the works to help with the overwhelmededness of it all.

I have several impediments to my brain sharpness, including illness and a host of medications, and I believe I need to do something to enhance my brain fitness. However, I wouldn't even know where to start. Tori, that's where you come in. May I suggest a post or series reviewing what's available, their benefits and drawbacks? Or things that people can do on their own to boost brain fitness? Maybe you've already done this (I haven't dug very deeply into your archives), in which case you could write a post linking to those articles. Any help you could provide to this Certified Old Guy would be appreciated! Thanks for a thought-provoking post!
