Watching So You Think You Can Dance on the DVR... LOVE LOVE LOVE "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri

My hearing-impaired daughter just saw the new iPhone/FaceTime commercial - "hey, they can sign with that!"

@mattgemmell front-facing cam and a mirror. :P

What they don't tell you about having a root canal on a molar - it's pretty much four root canals #themoreyouknow

Me: Doctor, my tooth is sensitive to cold. Dr: Ok! Let's test that with this cotton soaked in liquid nitrogen! Me: UAUAGGHAYAGHA!!! Dr: Yup!

Even though I'm a firm believer in the (distributed) social web, there's something that bugs me about the current implementation of dashboards, news feeds, and activity streams we see now: it's the voices, you see.

I feel like that zappos commercial: "I'm sorry, I was emotionally unprepared for this root canal..."

@wilw if the vegans have conquered beef and bacon, surely the end of the world is nigh.

Our practice is completely digital! On the downside, the digital X-ray thingy we stick in your mouth is as big as a size-12 sneaker.

Why doesn't the iphone's YouTube app respect the ringer off switch? In my mind it's the mute switch.

The assistants at this endodontist's office wear cool uniforms that look like something from star trek.

And, could my typing get worse?

First the dentist, now the endodontist. Could this day get worst?

@gruber does your version of Markdown do your linked-back footnotes or is that hand-coded?
