Looks like it has taken 2.5 Billion to show that alternative medicine don’t really do that much. Fortunately the ones I do are on the list of ones that help a little bit (massages are the best!):
“As for therapies, acupuncture has been shown to help certain conditions, and yoga, massage, meditation and other relaxation methods may relieve symptoms like pain, anxiety and fatigue.”
On the flip side, I don’t think I have taken any of the ones that could be hazardous.
Well working to understand more about project management and systems engineering at work, I ran into Dwayne Phillips. So many things so far I have read seem to directly pertain to my work-life. This blog entry about twitter below is an excellent one that pertains to my “out of work” life.

Apparently to test out a piece of code I wrote, I have to use a equipment that if mis-used, could annoy aircrafts in the area (as it pings their transponders just like what control towers do).
This is why I enjoy computer engineering over computer science. Playing with expensive toys is fun.
Things that need to be taught in dental hygienist school:
#1 - Do not show patients their plaque. Although you may find it fascinating, it is equivalent to the act of showing your college frat buddies how amazingly long your turd is (while saying “I just dropped off the kids at the lake!”).
#2 - If there is anything worse than not acknowledging the pain you are causing your patient by using your finesless pick-gouging technique, it would be acknowledging the pain but then not doing anything about it. Even though you may not believe it, your technique can be improved.
#3 - A man who is almost 29 probably knows that sugar is bad for his teeth.
#4 - Saying “I’m going to get into my costume” while putting on your mask and gloves, and “Now lets put you in your costume” while putting on the bib and sunglasses, isn’t quite as clever as you may believe.
Okay, rant is complete.
My camera is chalk full of them. I haven’t had a free moment though to sort through them and do post production.
My espresso standards just keep on going higher!
I think that Sam Adams should step down as mayor. Thought process is as follows:
1 Sam Adam’s said he did not have a sexual relationship with an intern
2 Sam Adam now says he did have a sexual relationship with an intern, only after the story broke. Call the initial statement what you will (most people are saying “lie”).
3 Sam Adam now says that although he knew the intern when he was 17, that he did not have a sexual relationship with him until after his 18th birthday.
4 Because statement #1 is false, how can I be assured that statement #3 is true?
5 No matter what orientation you are, anyone in their 40’s persuing someone in high school I find pretty distrurbing.
To summarize, because of what has happened, I can no long rely upon his words. I’d like I mayor whose words I can rely on.
Here are a few pics for the arctic ass-blast (as I call it).
Mox was nice enough to pose for me!
Erin right after our walk to Italian last night.

Mox is light enough that he didn’t crack through the inch of ice.

Pine Needles.

Make sure you look at this video!
For your enjoyment! It has been quite awhile since I’ve posted some good pictures. The following are from this weekend.
Erin in costume looking out the window.

Our pumpkins. Mine is the simple one.

Sarah (Marge?) after a couple.

And the rest are from the Japanese garden.






Watch out for tiny babies that hang out next to your espresso machine! They bite!
