Kudos to Kaiser for supplying Narcon along with opioid prescriptions.

I hope not to need the hydrocodone, but glad I have it just in case.

Day after surgery:

Feels like someone cut into my back and yanked on my insides.

Ice packs and Tylenol are the order of the day.

Pain in my hip that ran down my leg is gone. Huge relief.

Thank you modern medicine and science!

You might say that piracy drove computer literacy in those days. 😀

A couple of weeks ago I turned 50 years old, which is a sentence my fingers feel strange typing because in my mind I’m still somewhere in my late 20s. Age...

This image captures "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" perfectly.

Center of the photo is Orion Kerkering of the Philadelphia Phillies, bent over in agony after committing an error. Los Angeles Dodgers players celebrate on the field after a game-winning play. In the foreground, Freddie Freeman (number 5) is shown with his arms raised in the air, while Mookie Betts (number 50) and other teammates gather around. The stadium crowd is visible in the background.

Looks like embargo release on stories about Intel's Fab52 foundry.

Innovation & high yield with the new fab process is critical to Intel's future.

At the core of everything is ASML, the engine behind all modern semiconductors.
