Cancer and chemo
Saturday was a bit rough: it was just one of those random cancer days where I was weaker, wobblier and more out-of-sorts than usual. Many cancer patients have noted this - cancer just throws you curves some days - as have I. Felt better this AM, and was off to church for a very nice […]
‘Paperless’ comes through…
It appears that the iPod Shuffle I bought for Linda last Christmas has died. iPods have a 1-year warranty, so this set off a momentary scramble to find the receipt. I went over to the G4 mini that runs the p2 (aka Paperless) Project, and typed ‘Shuffle’ into the Yep! PDF browser.
Voila! A Fry’s receipt […]
Health logs
So, one of my projects hs been to move my health logs from paper to a spreadsheet, in this case Apple’s ‘Numbers‘ app in iWork ‘08.

Full day…
We spent the whole morning up at UCSF doing rehab therapy and chemo. Physical therapist Heidi Engel put us through the usual neuro-muscular wringer, and spent time preparing me for the next 6 months or so of rehab. I may well be able to get out of steroid hell (if the brain edema is […]
Futalognkosaurus dukei
The Chron today has a story about this ‘little’ guy, a 105-foot long herbivore with the tongue-twisting name Futalognkosaurus dukei, whose remains were recently discovered in Argentina. Good dinosaur, stay… sit…
Mac OS 10.5 Leopard to ship Oct. 26

A Silicon Valley garage
Here’s where I’ve been scanning in my archive of 80’s photos when I have the time and energy. It’s a real, honest-to-gosh Silicon Valley garage, seen here with a couple of high-tech scanners amongst the other, usual garage junk.
