Chewie: Good news and bad news
The bad news: Chewie has cancer. The good news: It is on one of his two kidneys. Tomorrow, surgeons at the University of Minnesota will operate and remove that kidney, and so long as the cancer is confined to that one kidney, that’s the end of it. Short of “turns out Chewie just had a…

Please pray for Chewie
Our 3 1/2 year old standard poodle, Chewie, is in the hospital. He had had an eye infection 10 days ago, and our vet noticed that he had lost about six pounds. She asked us to keep an eye on his eating. After a week of his appearing listless and having little appetite, Melinda took…

Still cold
Man, is it cold in Minnesota. Too cold to walk Chewie for more than 5 minutes.

My Diet Tools
UPDATED August 2011: I fixed the links for the blender to go to the revised model. These are the things which have helped me to lose 30-35 lbs. in 2009.

The Adventure of The Dental Mouthpiece

I had never realized this. What’s worse, no dentist had ever pointed this out before. Years and years of check-ups, and…

Piano we’re giving away
When we moved into our house in 2001, this piano was in the basement. We really need the storage space, so we’re giving it away to anyone who will move it themselves. We’ll have to saw off the old rusty railing on our steps just to get it out the door, but we were replacing…

Recognition!
This is so cool. “CAP Today” did a big piece on laboratory web sites and they sought our advice as one of the best Medical Laboratory sites on the web. Terry Lambert, my boss, was interviewed extensively for it. It’s quite an honor for us, having developed this site in just two years. We started…

All right, already! I’m on Twitter!

Boston and User Interface 12 Conference
I wish I could get my phone to talk to my computer. (More on that later in a more boring whiny post.) I’ve taken some cool camera shots of my trip, but I can’t transmit the pictures from my phone to a computer. As I write this, I’m in the “Theory and Practice of Social…
