Finished training, back in Dallas, leaving tomorrow morning. The people at training were cool. They helped me out a lot. I think I passed the final test... I guess I'll find out if they don't send me a certificate…
Life sucks. mmHg varies.
I am in California for a training seminar. The company's name is Intuitive Surgical. www.intuitivesurgical.com They make robotic-assited surgical equipment. The seminar teaches people how to sell these machines to do…
The first step I took, I took in Egypt And I knew from the inception of cognition That it was neither safe haven nor home For all around lurked uneasy tension The hundredth step I took, I left Egypt And crossed a desert…
I am in California now, typing from my resurrected laptop. The screen sports a 6" CCFL which functions decently, but does not travel the length of the screen. As a result, the right side of my screen has a bright spot …
The rumors of my laptop's demise are greatly exaggerated.
First time I've been to church in a long time. Yes I know it sucks, but at the same time, that made Easter Sunday all the better.

I was using my desktop today when I suddenly heard a whirring sound coming from the power supply. Usually my computer makes weird noises so I ignored it. Then there was a large spark/flash of light and a boom. Some sm…
They opened up a Fry's in Plano. I'm going to go check it out today. Firefox is beautiful. It's interface and feel are very similar to IE, and it provides needed improvements (such as pop-up blockers and multipl…
I took Vincent Mo's advice and I switched. The age-old question of chance and circumstance rears its ugly head again. There are days I wish this dilemma solved... not for the warmth and joy, but for the mere free…
Did FAFSA stuff today and finished watching all the video lectures on anatomy and terminology. Most of it went over my head. But I do know a lot about the bowels now that I sorta wish I didn't. I also remembered the s…
