Healthcare Debate

I'm watching it as I code at work. I have to admit this is way better then anything I've seen in the past. It'd be nice if they would have had someone from the CBO there to clarify things when one side says the CBO said this and the other says that the CBO said that.

The only other thing I'd change about this right now is the moderator should be Larry the Cable Guy. I'd be highly amused if he'd keep everyone in their time limits and telling them even just once to "Git r done!"

Let it snow 2.0

Call me an Eskimo, it's more snow! About 2/3'rds of the snow on the bird bath was from the first snow.

It's been snowing since 4pm last night.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

And it did, over a foot and a half fell yesterday as you can see.

Old Age and Robots

So on a more humorous side of things I just read about robots being used to help the elderly. Wired's web site has a nifty article about robot nurses.

Now aside from the obvious where I'd take tape and ballons and have them walking around with extra's at the home. I could also get an RC controller and maybe have some fun that way. Nothing really serious mind you, but a geriatric geek could go to town with these if they really wanted.

Yes I know I'm evil, but I don't want to be bored when I get older. :P
