Meade mystery

So I just noticed someone who goes by the name "Meade" posted a comment to one of my pictures. The interesting part is that s/he posted the comment to an image of my condo being built, but the comment is about Clyde's Ride. So, I had to dig. Checking my logs, I can see that he found this old story about the band from an old version of my site. His search engine didn't provide a referrer so I can't tell where he came from, but I can see that he found the pics from the band's last show and then had a whirlwind tour of my other pics, assuming looking for old friends, or perhaps just admiring the beautiful people.

Well Meade, sorry there aren't more UCSD alumni in my photos, but I am a late comer to the digital camera revolution and most UCSD'ers that I knew have long since left the sunny beaches of San Diego. Looks like you're still around, we should start a Damnit-Clyde's-Ride-Quiting-Foolin-And-Play-Some-More-Shows club. We can meet once a month, share bootlegs and stories of the good 'ol days, and drink beers. Or just drink beers...

Zillow.com

Here's a really darn cool site. It's using google map's API and they actually draw property lines and estimated values on homes! It's pretty darn amazing.

My house is not on the map yet... but my parent's and my friend's houses are.

Verizon Blesses Phone-As-Modem Plans

Verizon sucks! This sounds like a good thing, but no, Verizon just found another way to rape you for an additional $60/month.

Verizon Blesses Phone-As-Modem Plans

In short, you can now use your EVDO phone as an EVDO modem, for $59/month on top of the plan you already pay for. That's no deal at all, especially since an unlimited data plan for a PDA phone is only $44/mo.

ah... yes...

NO SURGERY!!!!

Just saw my knee surgeon (for my second opinion) and he thinks everything looks ok and I don't need surgery!!! He thinks that, due to how the injury happened, I dislocated my kneecap. This in turn caused the swelling, pain, discomfort, etc. I have dislocated my kneecap on my left knee about 7 times and the pain is similar to how my right feels. It obviously wasn't bad enough that it stayed dislocated.

The ding that shows up in the MRI is not significant in his opinion to warrant surgery. He gave me another brace to hold my patella in place and sent me on my very merry way. If in 6-8 weeks I have any popping, clicking, or locking, they will still need to scope it, but let's hope that doesn't happen.

I feel pretty darn good right now. And due to the miracle of positive thinking, my knee feels better. I may still have damage in there, but at least I have a stay of execution.
