Let me get another day or two post-op and I’ll share some of what’s been going on lately. And remember: I’m always posting something on Twitter, so remember you can always follow me there (and read excerpts in the sidebar to the right). More soon!

So in addition to a general “welcome,” I wanted to invite you to come back since this blog is always a work in progress.  I hope you had a chance to read last week’s Grand Rounds edition hosted by me and found it an enjoyable read. Make sure you read the current edition at Sharp Brains which will be featured in next week’s Medscape mailing.

Thanks again, and I will be back as a student this coming year–I just can’t say where or as what, exactly. I’ll be blogging soon about some of my future decision points on this topic, so feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed to keep abreast of current posts.  Cheers!

I’ve been robbed–ROBBED–I say! Celeste, a long time commenter and reader of this blog, pointed out to me that National Public Radio (NPR) has taken one of my old posts and stolen it, without reference, without a “hat tip,” without anything, in their feature entitled “Playing Five Beats To The Measure.”  My post entitled “5/4″ obviously is the victim of an NPR five-finger discount. Now it stands to reason with NPR you’re going to get a much more polished product than with lil’ ol’ me, but the spirit of my post clearly comes through, and with the added literary/dramatic touch of a second, autobiographical voice feeling an “odd” kinship with this asymmetric time signature.

I invite you to read mine first, then see the NPR feature. Afterwards, tell me whether or not mine gives those thieves a run for their money!  heh

That was fun! I was honest when I said I did it in one take, believe it or not. I’m a pretty nim quick-witted person, and I actually thought of the whole “effect”/”transition” thing as I was talking up to that point. I filmed the “extra” scene separately, of course, but the rest of it was one take. The “goodies” were added in post, of course, and if it didn’t work I simply would have re-recorded another, less-silly take to replace this. I think it was a success!

I really, really have to give a shout out to Dr. Anonymous who pioneered so much multimedia for us medbloggers and who does his own video blogs about his radio show (before and after) as well as his own personal topics. Emily McGee, aka crzegrl, is also a pioneering medical vblogger whom I’ve admired greatly for putting herself out there and talking about her job and life in informative, silly, and touching ways.  Lastly, Vijay aka Scanman, had a brief foray into this area, but I think he dropped it in favor of audio ‘casts. It’s all good–I think anything we do to reach out to readers and each other in new and different ways just makes our social and professional networks that much stronger and more fulfilling.  Cheers to all of you, and now me, too!

As I mentioned in the spot above, a lot will be coming soon of a personal, and at times, difficult nature. I know I need to finish my personal illness story, and believe me when I say it has the highest priority.  After a week or so when I’m far more “caught up” with posting my narratives (I’m not going to inundate the blog all at once) I think you’ll understand where I’m coming from. I think you’ll also see that if after all that I’m still around, then I’m not going anywhere!  On to more posts, and thank you, thank you, thank you for caring enough to still be around–you’re the best!

I probably won’t get one, but in complete boredom I wondered what kind of games could be played with to see what domains could be listed.  Here is a Perl one-liner from a shell CLI querying the UNIX (in this case, Mac OSX) generic words flat-file database. (another common location for this file would be /usr/dict/words):

All the code does is check to see if a word ends in ‘me’, then if so, rewrites it and the version with the ‘.’ dot in between. Have fun domain hunting!

Bags:
As I wrote on Twitter the other day, I have a serious thing for bags. I am, in fact, completely indistinguishable from a woman shopping for purses with the level of scrutiny that I investigate pockets, seams, zippers and compartments. However, the presence of my Y chromosome does mean that I must depart somewhat from my inner female in that looks and it matching anything else I have are nearly irrelevant. I don’t care if the bag looks like a freak accident that escaped the Coach genetic testing labs–I care about function,form, and feel, ONLY and in that order.

So my brother was here last week, and I saw a bag he had that I don’t recall his having this last Christmas. I asked what it was, and he said “Weren’t you the one that told me about this?” Disgustedly, I gave a look like, “You fool! Do you think I’d forget something like this?!?” as I pawed The Precious.

Here is the object of my desire. It’s different from my brother’s, but our gear needs are different. Yes I know the orange isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing color, but just look at that removable DSLR camera bag attachment. Yes, I know the whole “snake” theme is a bit odd, but that’s some sexy stuff. YeSSSSS!

Obviously, I’m not getting this anytime soon, but my current eBags laptop backback is not doing too well (in fact, it’s nearly unrecognizable from the online pictures). It’s also surprisingly heavy all by itself–something I found recently as I emptied it to have it be managed by Claudia when I was last in the hospital. “Honey, I need this because, like, you know, the next time I might be in the the hospital–what? yes, I know the doctor said all would be fine, but you never know…ok!–I’m just saying, the next time, if I have this, it won’t be as heavy for you when you have to manage it,” just isn’t very convincing. I’ll work on it.

Social Networking:
In my previous life, I was a senior-level IT person/consultant. It should come as no surprise, then, that when faced with a “SIGN UP NOW” email from a relative, friend, or annoying co-worker–it matters not–in order to see their pictures or whatever online with some proprietary service, I normally would hit “delete” without a second thought (and might even be annoyed that thanks to them, they at least have my email address). Why on earth would I want to give away my information to a business that I have nothing to do with who, upon trying to make ends meet, will be like so many others and whore their user data to the highest bidder, maybe even sinking so low as to start putting up yarn ads. (If you got that reference, you’ve read this all the way through and I thank you from the bottom of my ad-less heart)

Maybe it’s the sweltering Texas summer heat, maybe it’s having some burnable time on my hands, but I seem to be trying out new services sites like it’s going out of style. Normally meticulously recorded in SplashID on my Blackberry (encrypted of course), I have yet to keep up with all the usernames/sites I’m registering. It’s like I have Daddy’s credit card and going on a registration/shopping spree and don’t care about amounts or receipts, wadding them up and throwing them on the floor as I search the next target. There’s a ton of redundancy and overlap in these things, and I think I’ve reached the limit of what I’m willing to try. I think with each useful service, there is a “best of breed” product; that’s the one I’ll sign up with.

And what it is with the lack of vowels in these names? Flickr. Stumblr. Feedlr. Tumblr. Mastrbatr. I gotta pull back before some 21-year-old CIO in the Bay Area tweets to his other entrepreneur buddies and with all their collective information figures out the exact position of all the constellations at the time of my birth. On their iPhones.

(Medical stuff–personal and news/commentary–coming in a jiffy, I promise!)

It’s been a couple of weeks, but with the move and being stuck in dial-up land I failed to pass along the URL for my interview at Medscape with Dr. Genes. If you get weekly mailings from Medscape, this was included somewhere in last week’s issue, but if you don’t or missed it, here it is (registration required).

I think the whole Venn diagram thing is hilarious. Personally, in my recent hiatus, I was actually thinking about what I could do to make my own site better, more appealing, not just for readers but for myself. The simple obvious answer is “POST, moron!” but I like the long, complicated answers.

To that end, I bought a book while in the States: The Forest For the Trees, because I thought, written by a professional editor, that it would help my get past all my perfectionistic “stop” energy to “let it flow.” Well, it turns out not to be what I needed, as the book deals more with career writers (or those who wish to be) and writers of books/thos involved in a formal publishing process. I was more looking for something along the lines of How To Stop Procrastinating Blogging Simple Things You Know Others Will Enjoy Because You Keep Saying “Later”, but I just didn’t find that on Amazon.

I’ll be offline for a few more days still, but I have lots to share afterwards once I FINALLY get quiet time (and back in my house, I hope I can at least get some) to write and reflect.

I was actually born in the Year of the Dog, and here are some characteristics (as well as my year) as per the Chinese Zodiac:

The Dog is a giving, compassionate personality. He offers kind words, support and advice to friends and family. He is a listener, always available to lend an ear or a shoulder to a friend in need. They have extremely high standards and expect a lot of themselves and of others. They are loyal and hold a strong outlook about the direction they want their life to take. Once they have committed themselves, there is little to no turning back. They are bold, unafraid to disagree out loud about anything they feel is unjust or unfair. They are easily stressed if a plan does not go accordingly. They find it difficult to relax when there are things to be done.

Guilty as charged! Have a prosperous new year!

My original goal was to switch to WordPress for this blog before school started, but as usual, life–particularly Bob Vila-style domestic chores got in the way. So, I’ll be doing that this week, most likely.

FOR THOSE WITH USERNAMES/PASSWORDS TO THIS SITE:
Sorry, but no usernames will be available for general registration anymore. I did this because I wanted to encourage those that knew me in real life to follow more private details that were not super-secret but not necessarily information I’d want to share with the entirety of the Internet. I’ve decided to devote this blog entirely with what I want to write publicly and nothing more — I’ll have another solution when the time comes for more private writing, but of course, that information would be private.

So again, thanks to all for reading and I hope to make your experience here better really soon.

I can’t compete with the big dogs for ANY of the categories, especially as a lowly 1st year with not much clinical experience, but I certainly wouldn’t pull a Sean Penn and refuse to accept a nomination if one were so inclined. Seriously, if you have any medical blogs you like to read and they are not on the list, show them some love already. Blogging is harder than it looks. ha!
