This needs to be published now, in light of today’s news of the Frenchman hoverboarding the English Channel. It spurred from a chat about electric vehicles and quickly turned into a mini research project on personal flight machines. I’d sat on it for a year, wanting to make a proper analysis of the field, but …
Clinical records & trends This is how I keep my clinical records organized and local (here’s nicer but there’s a playlist too). Remember kids: there is no cloud, it’s just someone else’s computer. If you prefer the document without macros you can get it here, and then add these macros to it. If you don’t …

I learned so much in interviewing Hou. His integrity and grounding presence shines through his smile, as you’ll quickly see. I’m only sorry about the audio. Most is quite bearable, but some I had to fade out to quiet the wind and planes and text vibrations. The camera auto-refocused often but this is less annoying. …
