At this point in time Brett is working hard on finishing up a global vocabulary business focusing on the Greek and Latin roots of GRE vocabulary.  In the meantime, he is continuing to write his SAT English vocabulary blog; his latest entry discussed President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and the etymology and SAT related derivatives of the words "peace" and "President."  He updates his blog on a semi-monthly basis.
