100 Korean Foods You Gotta Try — ZenKimchi Korean Food Journal

Great list by ZenKimchi. I certainly agree that these are special foods in Korea; however, I don't agree that you've GOTTA try them :)

I'm a food lover; thus, I've tried many of these, but certainly not all. I've had intestines and stomach and I don't care to have them again no matter how it's prepared. Beef liver is another one of those foods that I stay away from. Lastly, I just can't stand myeolchi (small, whole, dried fish). Raw octopus (live or dead) tastes like rubber and the baby ones have a nasty inside. It's not so much that they have heads, I just hate the consistency.

With that said, the ones that I've tried are bolded below as per Zenkimchi's request. Some are guesses as I'm terrible with names of dishes.

Does this mark the point when information literacy becomes a necessary trait in a leader? It always has been, you say? No, no, no. It's always been the assistant's job. It's possible that these things can no longer be solely off-loaded to staff.

I think that this is a silly article, but it does show that this is an issue on the horizon (even an attack ad).

It's hard to believe that this song is nearly 20 years old. I don't even think I discovered it for myself until a couple years later, but it certainly introduced me to a whole knew genre of music. Just love it.

Nice presentation on making good presentations. Emphasizes the need for a good story behind the presentation.

Most academics seem to think that they just need to push the information out to the audience and that these types of presentations are for business or just "non-scientists". This is certainly far from the truth. You want people to remember your presentation and, in fact, remember you (conferences are more about networking than exchanging ideas). I'm sure that you remember good speakers much better than poor ones...which do you want to be?

Yet another step on the stairway to knowledge. It's something that has been expected for a long time, but it's great to have some physiological evidence to back it up. This certainly seems to support information processing theories as well as those of situated cognition.
