July 13 was my wife’s 30th birthday and July 14 marked our 8-year “let’s be boyfriend/girlfriend” anniversary. To celebrate, we spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in my hometown, San Francisco. We stayed in a nice hotel just outside the city and paid way less than it was worth (thanks, Priceline). Friday night Continue reading Operation Weight Gain: Week 2 (Source: Cancer, life, and me) Cancer, life, and me blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3772429 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:45:51 +0100 3772429 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3416004&cid=t_260445_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fblisstree-photo-of-the-day-3%2F OK, today we’re cheating a little, but at least it’s for a good cause. All of the following photos from last Saturday’s Earth Hour were so cool, we couldn’t pick just one to feature. So here are eight for your viewing pleasure.

However, it’s not so much a barrier as it is a net. A steel net, to be specific. The net will be suspended from either side of the iconic span, and reach out about 20 feet. Out of the five barrier proposals considered, this is the only suicide barrier that will not interfere with tourists’ view from the bridge. It will also allow the 16 painters employed on the bridge to continue their current work routines (the other four barriers would’ve required additional effort and risk for the painters to do their work). When people jump from the bridge into the net, it will hold them there, suspended some 740 feet over the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. Denis Mulligan, the chief engi...

Most people still don’t understand how someone could ever feel so despondent and depressed that they would want to end their own lives. I also suspect that at one time or another, a significant minority of people have thought about suicide, even if just in passing. The New York Times Magazine had an article this past weekend about a different approach to suicide. Instead of only looking to help treat people most at risk for suicide (people who suffer from depression, for instance), public health officials are also looking at the common means in which suicide is committed. One of those common means is jumping off a b...

I'm looking up from the sidewalk to the top of the first tower (coming from Marin). The camera on my phone didn't quite capture the intensity of the colors in this picture.
