Next time you are at the doctor, watch them unwrap a new syringe…

26th March 2008

This is amazing.

I am astounded that medical professionals could be so unethical. Re-using dirty syringes? Shouldn’t that be a criminal offense?

I for one will be requiring that the doctor or nurse let me inspect the syringe or watch them open a new container before I get any shots.

Got Debt?

24th March 2008

For a long time I have wondered why people seem to have the NEED to acquire more things and more debt. The housing market is one example of the problem (and moving endlessly up the property ladder is just a small part of this). The endless cycle of increasing debt load, zero savings and stagnant wages has to stop sometime. When it does, things will be interesting to be sure.

See this article for some very telling statistics.

First there is the Big Dog robot, next comes SkyNet!

This thing is AMAZING. It is carrying 340 pounds of gear.

HAH! Snow in Dallas.

6th March 2008

Forecast is up to 5 inches of snow possible tonight.
I was just outside and shot a little video of it, the flakes were the biggest I have seen here.
The view is from the front door of my house.
