Some recent purchases have been made which should make every single visitor happier.

Pictures of some of them are forthcoming...

It's worth a read:

I'm talking out my ass here, I guess. Kenneth is a naive, earnest page who runs around the set trying to put out fires and make everyone happy. Scooter, on the other hand, is a naive, earnest GOPHER who runs around the set trying to put out fires and make everyone happy. Totally different.

Worth a look. Makes me almost want to watch 30 Rock!

Is almost ready for someone to purchase. If only I had $900 burning a hole in my pocket!

Yes, it's from the New Yorker, so I'm sure Kevin will appreciate it. Regardless, this article on health care is worth a read:

If doctors wield the pen, why do they do it so differently from one place to another? Brenda Sirovich, another Dartmouth researcher, published a study last year that provided an important clue. She and her team surveyed some eight hundred primary-care physicians from high-cost cities (such as Las Vegas and New York), low-cost cities (such as Sacramento and Boise), and others in between. The researchers asked the physicians specifically how they would handle a variety of patient cases. It turned out that differences in decision-making emerged in only some kinds of cases. In situations in which the right thing to do was well established—for example, whether to recommend a mammogram for a fifty-year-old woman (the answer is yes)—physicians in high- and low-cost cities made the same decisions. But, in cases in which the science was unclear, some physicians pursued the maximum possible amount of testing and procedures; some pursued the minimum. And which kind of doctor they were depended on where they came from.

You should start at the beginning and read it all.

I'm sure most of you have seen this by now, but it's worth checking out if you haven't. Thus, the venn diagram of business and happiness.

We can always make things better.

Both my laptop running Windows 7 and xbox blew up yesterday afternoon. Combined with a rain storm that left me 100% soaked, even with an umbrella on the way home, it wasn't a fun evening.

(And yes, Brad, I'm getting the xbox replaced on my dime. No, we won't lose anything on the hard drive either, which I'm sure Tilda will be thrilled about.)

Curse, you, RROD!
