#275: Memory Part 2, George Johnson, FSL 3.0 Round 1
We continue our memory arc joined by George Johnson, author of In The Palaces of Memory: How We Build the Worlds Inside Our Heads (and the recent Ten Most Beautiful Experiments). We tackle round one of fantasy sci-fi league 3.0. And we run down the week in geek including Opportunity’s soon approach to the appropriately-named Spirit Point, lots of E3 gaming news including the upcoming Mass Effect 3 and Halo 4, some early-announced guest stars on Warehouse 13, and a fast-food clerk named Xena.
