So one time I was travelling across the continent by bus - I was 17, and apparently my parents trusted me way too much - anyway, after four days on a bus and washing myself sporadically in bus station sinks, I'd have loved to have some of this stuff. Probably the other people on the bus would have loved for me to have…

You apparently either follow wedding trends or go to a lot more weddings than I do. I had no idea.

Seeing as it was his wedding night, I left it up to his wife to thank him appropriately. Though they did get about eight toasts out of it...

Some of my friends just got married. The groom and his groomsmen all wore (matching) Converse All-Stars. The bride and her maids all wore flip flops. I liked it... mostly because, while they took the wedding seriously (wrote their own vows, etc), it's very much like them both to add a little whimsy. Also they had an…

Yeah... my endo originally recommended the MiniMed with the built-in CGM. I actually ended up with the DexCom because my insurance wouldn't cover the CGM sensors for the MiniMed, so I thought I was only able to get a pump. I picked the Animas Ping because of the waterproofing (you never know when someone will think…

I'm using both a Dexcom Seven Plus CGM and the Animas Ping pump... the pump helped my blood sugar. The CGM seriously helped. I can download the CGM data to my PC, look at every reading taken over the last 7 days, last month, whatever (and since it tests every five minutes, that's a lot of data points). Then I can see…

When I was diagnosed in the 90s the JDF was touting that the 90s were "the decade of the cure." I don't hold out much hope we'll ever see a cure in my lifetime... but I'll take any incremental improvements they come up in the mean time.

I travel with an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor. I've even taken them to places that frisk you worse than the TSA - like going into a testing center to take the GRE. By law, since it's a medical device, they can go pound sand.

There's a problem with the "I can eat anything I want as long as I take enough insulin" philosophy, and that's that you also have to time it exceptionally well. Insulin infused or injected into the abdomen can take several minutes to start working, and if you have much abdominal fat, it can take up to 30 minutes to…

So current CGMs already work like this. You test twice a day (every 12 hours) to calibrate the glucose monitor, which then transmits to a small display and can alert you with vibration and sound if your blood sugar gets too high or too low. So the reduction from five finger sticks to two could be had with just a CGM.…

That's no moon!

Yeah... hopefully there's a picture of the 2009 matte and glossy screens side by side attached. Otherwise, here's Tom's Hardware.

My favorite things about Google Maps:

You sound like a horrible, horrible person.

I download wallpapers because I've never been to Namib Naukluft Park, but think it's nice, and makes a nice picture.

I suppose it's just unclear to me why it's okay to lay the blame on her, whose actions are legal, rather than on those who are breaking the law once as hackers and again by harassment.

Depends where you camp. I live in WA. Three quarters of the year the temp never gets above 70.

Dave Gorman used to have a Daily Show skit called "Poll Smoking."

One that's been sawn down to make it the right dimensions of a cigarette.

You can never please all of the people. I'd rather have FB integration than Twitter integration. I login to Twitter maybe four times a year, to check if my favorite local bands are doing anything otherwise unannounced (yeah, that's the entire reason I'm on Twitter). But making it easier to post pictures of stupid shit…
