I twisted my left ankle real had a few weeks ago. The doctor has not found any signs of blood clots or broken bones. I can put a little weight on it and the swelling has gone way down except for the top of my foot. I will see my doctor next Monday if my foot doesn't start looking batter.
My good friend and mentor Ken had a stroke last month and was in a local hospital for a few weeks and then he was transferred to a hospital in San Antonio. He was there for two days before he was released and went home. The company he has worked for for thirty years was fired. Typical big business.

Crackdown and Cancer
My father had the cancer from his ear removed. They "surgery" took 20 minutes. The is no large scar it looks like he scraped his ear. He says the surgery didn't hurt and he now can sleep without his ear bothering him.
I bought Crackdown for the X Box 360. The game is very mature. You play the role of a cop who is actually a clone. You steal cars, shoot the bad guys, and collect guns.
The game plays like Grand Theft Auto meets Spider man. You collect "orbs" to increase your skills such as driving and shooting.
This not a game for the kids.

Star Trek TNG 2.0
The folks at G4 have played with Star Trek the original series and now have their mitts on Star Trek The Next Generation.
Basically the whole show is squeezed into the center of the screen and is surrounded by a collection of graphics.
One graphic show a count of the number of time something happens in the show. Like the number of times Data says fascinating, the number of red alerts, or even the number of "Picards Maneuvers" which is the casts habit of pulling the top half of there uniforms down after standing up.
Another portion of the screen is made up of a "Market" where certain "stocks" are traded.
The is a bottom graphic showing a transcript of the chater from the G4 chat room.
The top is made up of trivia and pointless facts about the show.
Now I don't mind the trivia so much as it is kind of fun but why the market and chat room transcript.
Why is there so much wasted space?
All in all G4 has once again pr oven they have no self control. They raped Tech TV, destroyed Call For Help, and The Screen Savers.
Boo G4.

Update 12 14 2006
Well I saw my heart doctor a few weeks back and had my breathing tested yesterday. The tech seemed surprised I did as well as I did. It surprised me to.
My father has cancer on his ear. He is not the least bit worried as they may just scrape or freeze it off. It so small you can barely see it.
I have given up on the Christmas tree so we bought a prelit 2 foot tree. Plug it in and it goes.
The are no house with Christmas lights up on my block this year. The local power company has announced they intend to raise the price of power Jan 1st.

Boom Goes The Website
From Buzzzle.
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/114890.html
The American government has closed down a website it created this year after inadvertently uploading information that could be used for building a nuclear bomb. The site was set up in March as a showcase for reams of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The idea came from congressional Republicans who wanted to use the internet to highlight the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. But the plan appears to have backfired when the site posted documents that amounted to a basic guide to building a nuclear bomb. The Bush administration closed down the website last night after questions were raised by the New York Times.
And we can't take liquids on the airplane?
We can however take a laptop with us as long as you check it in as luggage and they can store it in the cargo hold.

Oh Crap Not Again.
Yesterday about noon I went to the Emergency room with a high heart rate. My heart was at 140 at noon and by the time I got to the ER it was at 95. They did a bunch of blood work and an xray. The ER doctor gave me a high blood pressure pill and sent all the info they had to my heart doctor. He said I didn't need to move up my appointment with the other doctor as the problem fixed itself for the most part and there was no long term damage. I see my cardiologist next month and my GP hopefully next week.
It my may be in the high 90s here today. I can't wait for winter.
