Thanks for killing the bees, jerks.

Percy, that you enjoyed that video is surprisingly unsurprising.

my favourite picture of the day... and i've seen quite a few pics today... believe me!



does it suggest something to you? maybe?

TED: Ideas Worth Spreading

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

The Paradox of Choice was fun.

Wow. Get a statuette of your Mii.

São Paulo banned billboards last year.

The result:

ICC is "Integrated Clinical Clerkship". Which means, I'll spend 8 months in a rural hospital/clinic setting. Congrats are a bit early, I think. Party as well. Perhaps in September, when this is a bit more tangible. (I don't even know for sure that Hinton's where I'll end up.)

I like this info, though. 14 doctors and 3 surgeons (not sure if those numbers overlap) and 21 beds at the hospital. Two clinics (I assume that means one Hill and one Valley). And just under 10000 people who will find out all about the two new med students in town (although I imagine they serve more people than that in the surrounding area.) w00t.

But don't you understand, alison? The problem wasn't the gunman's access to guns. The problem was that there weren't enough guns on the campus.

What's ICC? And how come you're going to Hinton and a girl I know is coming to Ottawa's eye institute for 2 weeks in August? Congrats Par! Going away to study for a bit is fantastic!

Paras going away party? Or is it a little too early?
