Never forget, Always Reflect

“One day soon – I don’t know when
You know we’ll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again
 
The time will come for you and me
We’ll be goin’ home when this bloody war is ended
 
The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day
We’ll all say a prayer on Remembrance Day
 
On Remembrance Day – say […]

The EMR horror

I got this link:
 
http://www.syleum.com/2009/03/17/healthcare-data-model/

from a co-worker who thought it would be important for the team to read the article.  We support the concept of an electronic health record (EMR), since we are the IT support for the software that tracks everything to do with the paper version.  We aren’t directly involved with the creation of the EMR for […]

Stephen “the” King

Ok, so the news on the wire is that Stephen King doesn’t like Stephanie Meyers writing.  He has apparently read Twilight (where has he been, it’s been out for years?).   He comments in an interview with USA Weekend, he comments that she can’t write worth a damn.
 Now, I won’t say Stephanie Meyers is a great […]

Perspective

I have a draft posting, which I started to write the day after the US election.  Obama won, no big surprise to me anyway.  I had written a bunch of stuff but had to save it as I got busy doing something else.  Now it just seems too long ago to post it.
Anyway, I didn’t […]

Going about it all wrong!

You ever re-read your blog entries and realize just how much you ramble on and on and on and… well you get what I mean.

No Time, No Time

And no I’m not some lame ass rabbit about to jump down a hole.  It’s just me, too freakin’ busy with so much to do.  So much to do that isn’t getting done and really, really needs to get done.
I haven’t balanced my cheque book in months.  MONTHS, people.  It’s not like me - I […]

Batman vs Ironman

Alrighty.  So I read tonight that Robert Downey Jr. is dissing the Batman movie.  He said, and I quote:
“My whole thing is that I saw ‘The Dark Knight’. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and […]

Beijing Olympics 2008

Olympics closed today.  I did watch more than I expected.  Largely, I have very little interest in the Summer Games - I’m a Winter sports kinda girl.
However, I do like swimming so I did watched Michael Phelps win all of his 8 gold medals.  The man is freaking awesome.  With the training schedule that he has […]
