I mean, just think of all the things that could possibly go wrong! If I post it at the wrong time of day, no one will read it. If I don’t write with super-engaging language and in a clever tone, potential readers will bypass my post for something else on the internet that’s far more exciting. Oh, and I’ll probably (unknowingly!) insert a blatant typo that my eyes refuse to notice — even after several rounds of proofreeding. Or proofreading. Yeah, that second one. I’ve painted a pretty gloomy picture there, haven’t I? It feels a little awkward to admit that I’m a pessimist.

But according to Mother Jones, attaching 4.7 megabytes worth of information to an email creates as much greenhouse gas as boiling a tea kettle 17.5 times. That’s only four photos from a digital camera. But…it’s not real paper — how is this possible? The environmental impact comes from redundancy. When you send four photos to 20 people, that’s a lot of duplicate data that’s created. And that data requires equipment to be downloaded. For every 20 people you send the same files to, that’s 20 copies of the files and 20 devices being run to support the data.

The fattest states in 1991 were as large as the thinnest states are in 2009. Not all that long ago, the U.S. was much trimmer little lady. So what’s changed: More heavily-processed foods, less exercise, and too much time on the computer?

Even heard a spokesman compare these problems with the problems of Chicago in the winter as an excuse. “In Chicago these problems also exists in the winter”. No one objects but comparing the weather of Chicago with the weather in The Netherlands is like comparing apples and oranges. The average Chicago winter produces 38.0 inches (94 cm) of snow. This is just an average; Chicago winters have produced between 9.8 and 89.7 inches (25 cm and 221 cm) of snow.

Be humble.” It could have been well intentioned people, like our parents, who thought they were giving us good advice or maybe it came from people who, for whatever reason, wanted us to keep our light under a rock. There’s such a thing as the kind of pride that goes before a fall. I get that. Another word for that kind of pride is hubris; the excessive, empty pride that some people on Wall Street had way back in 2008. Pride can also be a good thing. It can nurture our self worth. Too often we don’t allow ourselves to bask in that warm glow of prideful accomplishment when we’ve done something well. Those old voices keep us from being completely OK with...

In part, it’s just an irritating phrase. Beyond that, I’m not your friend. I don’t know you, and, from what I know of you, I don’t even really like you.

As a celebration, I don’t know what she will do, but I’m going out to get more sushi at lunchtime. I slept late this morning, so Buck has gone out to find me some fruit (yes, I know I can change the time zone settings on my blog, but the thing is, as Ruben hinted at a bunch of posts ago, I forget to change the time zone back). Fruit is the one thing I crave that doesn’t (necessarily) have added sugar in it. What I find truly amazing is the sheer amount and variety of foodstuffs that have added sugar in them.

I think that we here have to have more sushi restaurants per capita than, say New York City. Our current favorite sushi restaurant is Sushi Zanmai. We have been there for dinner the past two nights. They make a lovely Kobe beef sushi, and I must have eaten them out of their stock of Kobe beef. We sit at the sushi counter so we can keep an eye out on our food while it’s being made. I also love this city because I’m believing this place is imbuing me with health. I look and feel healthier than I looked and felt before the cancer diagnosis. I figure that that’s a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Shannon Des Roches Rosa and Jennifer Graf Gronenberg have posted more information. Here’s Charlie’s swings, with an orange flower for Evan. The swings are on a playground on the part of the Jersey shore where we go every year, and that is the place where Charlie is most at home. He’s had many, many a ride on those swings and we’ve had many a meal, with family and with friends, on that very picnic table, with a view of the bay, so peaceful, so lovely.

Rockingham is the site of a major naval base, which is I guess the reason they put this memorial here. Also nearby there is a huge ship’s gun turret, presumably from the Perth. In the background you can see the blue CBH grain terminal wharf, where I spent many summer days while I was in medical school. I had a job there most summers shovelling grain, unloading trains and loading ships. The top tower of that wharf has one of the best views around - was a great place to sit and eat my lunch or dinner, or just hang out when there wasn’t much work to be done.

The last one I had was a cheap one that rusted from disuse a few years ago. Well I haven’t been doing so great thus far, being so busy that I’ve only ridden it 3 or 4 times, and only short trips. Well tonight I went out for a ride along the cycle path near our house, and was well rewarded with some great views of a gentle sunset over the ocean. All too often we don’t appreciate what a beautiful place we live in. I need to work at getting out on my bike more often, and scenes like this are a great incentive to do so.

Visited my dad tonight who had just been given a massive pile of old LPs by his brother, who was doing a big clean up. Amongst it all there were a few gems and I managed to grab a heap, some of which you can see in the picture. Mostly it’s 70’s stuff - Bowie, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Iggy Pop, Deep Purple, Led Zep and many others. I also inherited a Yamaha turntable so I can play them - it just needs a new stylus. Was funny showing the boys how we used to listen to music in the ‘olden days’ when I was a kid, before CDs were invented. Strange how the world has changed so much in such a short space of time… (Source: Baggas' Blog) Baggas' Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1420457 Mon, 05 May 2008 14:40:21 +0100 1420457 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1419660&cid=t_110636_85_f&fid=34924&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.baggas.com%2Fposts%2F2008%2F05%2F05%2Fonline-refrigeration%2F Originally uploaded by baggas.

Here’s my attempt. Nothing whatsoever to do with bioinformatics; instead, this one resizes Flickr images on Profilactic mashup pages, such as this one. My aim is just to convince you that greasemonkey development is quite easy, even for JavaScript novices like myself. What’s Greasemonkey then? It’s a Firefox extension that allows you to install user scripts - small programs written in JavaScript which modify the appearance and functionality of a web page. Where do I learn about it? A little dated now, but still by far the best “jump in and start” resource, is Dive Into Greasemonkey. You can also try the GreaseSpot wiki. Basic JavaScript tuition is available all o...

I’m a bit wary of this doing this because I already get easily distracted by Ruby and bioinformatics blogs, but Neil gave me an idea when he wrote about using these technologies to track research. I currently use Subversion to back up my project files, and I noticed Twitter status updates are very similar in length to subversion log messages. I created a short script so that every time I do a subversion repository check in, the message is also sent to Twitter. #!/bin/sh #Inspired by tinyurl.com/yt4ssq   # Scrub weird characters MSG=`echo $@|tr ' ' '+'`   # Send twitter request curl --basic --user "username:password&...

Except at my brother’s old place from where he built me my first PC. And then after that when I met my husband, who is a proud one himself. But out in the wild? It is with a happy note then that I share with you a Houston that has such a dynamic within. Having lived here for not very long, it is wonderful to have these venues to meet with one’s ‘kin’. Meeting folks who will match my very own, “@timeless” with their “@outofbalance” or “@superman” unleashes a smiling butterfly that says, “yowzah!”. The gatherings come in many wonderful names and behind them smiling headshots coming to life as you meet them. “@imelda’s” Twitter Houston and “@laanba’s” Housto... the story of healing blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1216519 Fri, 08 Feb 2008 07:00:57 +0100 1216519 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=971476&cid=t_110636_136_f&fid=35302&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FWhitePebble%2F%7E3%2F173607245%2F .flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Autumn, 10/22/07, originally uploaded by niehoff.
