There's lots of good news today, so let's get started. In fact there's lots of good news almost every day - but who's got time? I try my best to drink from the fire hose of news when I can. And one area that I've avoided all together is the content that's published every day […]
Wow, I was just looking through my server logs and saw a visitor clicked on blog entry number 1,000! Last Saturday was a mile stone for this site. Since starting in late 2004, I've written 1,002 posts (including this one), and enjoyed almost 140,000 unique visits. In the lower right hand column there's also a […]

If you are the hiring manager or HR contact shoot me […]

While there is some more current data available, you have to dig for it. This is a great place to start for those marketeers and entrepreneurs looking for health care statistics - there's a […]
Last Friday morning, sometime after 3:30am, my hosting service moved this site to a different DNS (domain name servers that associate URLs with IP addresses). They fumbled the transfer, resulting in none of the other DNS on the Internet pointing to the correct IP address for this site. The correct information finally propagated across DNS […]
For the past several months I've been working with a group that came out of the National Library of Medicine's Scalable Information Infrastructure program.

I made it - a lot of people didn't (or came in really late). Sadly, my bag didn't make it. It's midnight and they still haven't delivered it yet.
