new!

June 24, 2007

When I set up this blog, I bought the pseudosemantics domain, I just didn’t have time to get the site set up.  Up until now I have been taking advantage of the hospitality of the wordpress to host my site.

 Now I finally have my blog set up on my own domain, with a different theme (couldnt’ find this one again) Look for further updates on http://pseudosemantics.com 

 Thanks.

If you are dead, You should have gone to the doctor

June 18, 2007

My wife is 9 months pregnant, and she had a rough weekend, her stomach has been hurting her, and she had odd irregular contractions.  So she got online to look up some information about false labor.  One of the sites had a caveat to the effect “True labor ends with childbirth.  Therefore once you have had your baby you can be sure that you were in true labor.”

 Using the same logic, here’s how to know when to seek emergency care.

  • If you bleed to death, the cut needs stitches
  • If a broken bone heals crooked, you should go in and have it set.
  • If you heart stops beating, the pain in your chest was a heart attack.

Just in case you were wondering.

It’s funny how I complain about “not  having the internet”  We recently moved, and it was a few days before we got the internet set up at home again.  I go crazy without internet access.  Luckily it was only for three or four days.

 Even though I didn’t have the internet at home, I had it at work, on my phone, and there are several free hotspots I know of… I guess my definition of having the internet, is having it all the time.  I’m very impatient these days, if I don’t have what I want at my fingertips (literally, I’m lazy too–if it isn’t in reach, its to far away) I get frustrated.

 Now that I have it, I feel better.  I don’t really use it much.   I still haven’t checked all of my email accounts.  but I just feel better knowing that it’s there.
