March 18th, 2007 by mdI saw a wonderful movie last night … the Namesake. It’s the story of a family from Kolkata (fka Calcutta), their move to the US in the 1970s, their children’s lives, and how things change over a 30 year period. This was a terrific movie — well-acted, funny, all-in-all I give it four and a [...]
0 Comment » March 18th, 2007 by mdI found some info on post-bypass pain in the sternum. Evidently it’s pretty common. Patients report cracking and popping in the bone when they sneeze or cough.

March 15th, 2007 by mdA very interesting thing developing in the intersection of data, web, and developer community: Metaweb announced the alpha of a product called Freebase – an open, free database of the world’s knowledge.

I think the scariest part of this is where they have to saw through your sternum / ribcage and spread everything open mechanically. Don’t you break all the ribs that way? Ouch. Has anyone experienced this first hand or knows anyone who has?
March 15th, 2007 by mdThe last few weeks have been much better. Last night in particular, was very good. The pylons and the ending where they saw Jack cavorting with the Others a la Patty Hearst were great moments in show history. I just wish they had tested the pylons on John Locke instead of the one-eyed Russian. I [...]
March 15th, 2007 by mdI am amazed that every week for the last few the same pattern repeats. Sunjaya is called out as one of the bottom two or three vote getters (except for that mysterious time when they called him down and said that one of the two– referring to SM — was in the top FOUR), then [...]
