Is anybody else having problems with JU RSS feeds not updating? I am using BlogNavigator for my RSS feeds and it is picking up other feeds just fine. However, it doesn't have any JU articles more recent than 3/17/2006. Using the RSS aggregator in Maxthon gives the same results, no updates since March 17th.
That is right. I am ashamed to be "BlueDev". In fact, sufficiently ashamed that I may change my nick completely. All thanks to the Duke Mens Lacrosse team . And I know I am not the only one. There are hundreds, even thousands of us who are sickened by the whole affair. The team has been suspended from playing the rest of the season. If it is found out that the accusations are true, a whole lot more better happen. Sickened. Just sickene...
What an amazingly, wonderfully happy bit of news this morning. Jill Carroll has been freed. It has been some time since there was news about her. Of course, the meant that there were probably many who had sort of forgotten about her (I know I had to a degree). But to hear this morning that she is alive, well, and free, it was wonderful to hear. To Jill and her family, God bless and we are so happy for the joy you all must be feeling at this time.
I have been a student for a long time. It has been a total of 22 years now. That is, obviously, the majority of my life. I am used to being a student, with all that entails. And there is one thing that being a student doesn't generally entail. Benefits. While I will still be in training, it suddenly dawned on me that I will be employed. And with employment comes benefits. And in our case, Dartmouth-Hitchcock has some pretty nice benefits. I was inv...
I have numerous favorite gaming moments. My Saturday afternoon marathon of DOOM II that resulted in me being locked in the University Library. My first time firing up Half Life (though that game makes my list of all time game disappointments as well). My first time playing the full 3D of Descent II (boy, I would get dizzy playing that one). The final cutscene of Starcraft. Reverting from hyperspace to see Kharak burning. But one moment tops them all. Final...
Yes, I am a geek. No question about it, I don't try to hide it. My latest expression of geekdom is the following : Yes, I went into Best Buy with my little son and a digital camera. Yes, I took a picture of him playing the a box of Galactic Civlizations II. And yes, I did it to win a Galactic Civilizations II T-Shirt. And I won! There is my little man, Gal Civ II in hand, having a good old time playing with the box. So now, thanks to the friendly folks at Stardock I will be getting ...
This shouldn't really come as a surprise, but I enjoy blogging. I enjoy writing blogs and I really enjoy reading the blogs of others. When I have the time, I enjoy surfing random blogs using such services as Blog Explosion or BlogMad . I also avail myself of the traffic generating features of those services as well, but to be quite honest, that matters less to me than it used to. For those unfamiliar with those services, you surf the blogs of people who have signed up and...
I have been hesitating posting these, but I decided I might as well. I'm not going to take my shirt off and flex for ya'll, but I will post these. Just so you know, the pants I am wearing in the following pictures fit me perfectly on January 1st, 2006. Not too tight, but not loose, they fit just how I wanted them to. Now, well, you can see for yourself. Oh, and sorry about the sweat on the scrub top, I just got back from lifting. Just going to keep...
It's over. All over. Not even making it to the Elite Eight. LSU outplayed us tonight, no doubt. Painful. Wow, that was an incredibly painful game to watch.
Remember, back in High School how they took attendance? You could only miss so many days and then you got in trouble. Had to have any and all absences "excused". Boy, that was great. Wasn't it? Well, after getting a Bachelor's, and now only weeks away from having my MD, apparently I am in High School again. My current four week rotation is the famed Capstone course. It is a new, one of a kind course in which they cram everything they fear the may have missed i...
I sometimes find these little net goodies amusing. I enjoyed this one: > WARNING BlueDev is radioactive. Wear protective clothing at all times. Username: From Go-Quiz.com
I have discovered that I really enjoy going for walks. So, during my lunch time I head for a walk around Duke's campus. It is a delightful little 3 mile loop during which I thoroughly enjoy my iPod with one of the great albums I have on there or with perhaps the Poweruser.tv podcast. It helps burn a few extra calories each day, helps increase the circulation to my gray matter and just gets me out in the sun. It has also taught me something I found quite exciting. I...
Just over a week ago, tragedy struck. One of the students at my medical school tragically took her own life. I didn't know her personally, though I did recognize her. She always had a smile on her face and seemed to be a wonderful, positive person. It is a sad demonstration that no one is immune when it comes to depression. My heart goes out to her family, her friends, and most of all to her. When I was younger, and much more naive, I didn't understand how someo...
I am feeling quite lonely Three days now that my wife has been gone. In the past, this has happened when I was in the middle of a busy rotation. So I was at school all day, too tired when I came home to really even notice. Sleep a couple of hours and then run all day at the hospital. No time to feel lonely. Not this time. This time, since I have the girls with me still, I have had to take some time off of school. Just me and the girls. We have had ...
Yes, you heard me correctly. MySpace is a disease. And not just a benign disease either. This is a serious, aggerssive, pernicious disease. One that seems hell-bent on taking over the internet. In fact, this vile, filthy, perverted disease has risen to be in the top ten sites globally. Yes, top ten English sites in the world. Like a particularly aggressive cancer, it is consuming all in its path. Why do I call MySpace a disease? Just go over there and start looking at random sites. A...
