I've got blogging on the brain, but unfortunately instead of developing intelligence I should probably just be content with maintaining sanity!

Congrats on the Blog Of Note-ism bestowed upon you!
anyone interested on the relationship between IQ and genetics should check out the book "The Bell Curve." It's a source of great controversy because of some of the implications of the findings, but most of its critics clearly did not read the book all the way through.
