  watching the Thomas the Tank Train television show had a positive effect on autistic children. Moreover, as many as 99 percent of the children surveyed said that Thomas & Friends characters were their favorite toy (Bob the Builder came in second) (who might be third?).

  to autism as, for example, a train wreck. To some degree, one might say that we are all “genetic accidents”—-”accident” being from the Latin word accidit, “it happens.” And as I have often stated, I’m very glad Charlie “happened” to me. Share This

  Why not have video games to train people be better waiters or waitresses? How fast can you serve those bitchy customers, eh? Except, hold off, I guess, on Lethal Enforcers to train police officers.

  shuttling about on a Caltrain connection sure is nice, knowing precisely when your ride will or won't arrive can probably be a bit more influential in the grand scheme of things. Thankfully for those who rely on the rail service for daily transport, the large digital message boards at Caltrain stations will soon be relaying information

  independent thriller Night Train. Evidently already in production, the film also stars Danny Glover and Steve Zahn.
