Bad Things to do While Your Voice is on the Fritz

My voice has been oddly reminiscent of the Terminator, a Squeaky Toy, and an 80-year old lady who's smoked for 79.5 of those years.

Food Porn – Why Is Avoiding Red Meat So Hard?

My great grandma always taught me to be thankful for my food - everything that went into my food. I try damn hard to honor that - and remember that when I eat a chicken sandwich, some chicken somewhere isn't pecking around anymore.

What a crazy bunch of days it's been. It definitely hasn't felt like two weeks. Might've been the vicodin. My mobility has improved, I'm now about as mobile as your average 9-month-old. I'm going to drive again for the first time tomorrow.

A Heidelberg Retina Topograph. It basically uses a low-intensity laser to scan the surface of your optic nerve, layer by layer, and then uses that data to generate a 3D picture.
