  • Wet

    It has been like this all week, really wet. Huge, deep puddles on the cycle path to work and fast, overflowing streams (rivers?). The forecast says this is going to continue. No golf for me.

    I’m working from home today, and the MacBook Pro is properly plugged in to all the bits on my desk, now that I’ve finally cleared it off again (Kim tidies up the house by dumping stuff she finds on my desk). I’ve been working from my lap wherever I find myself at home until now.…

  • HD movies on Apple TV

    That’s it, the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray argument has just been rendered null and void. Apple are now letting you rent HD films through your Apple TV box. Updated Apple TV page. Bear in mind that I am biased and usually completely wrong in predicting tech trends…

The Sony Ericsson cameras in phones these days are awesome. I’d have been reasonably happy if I’d taken this with a bigger camera.

  • So Tired

    I’m so tired today. I skipped a seminar because I didn’t think I could stay awake in it. I thought I’d feel more awake after my 30 minute bike ride in heavy rain and wind, but all it did was make me damp and smelly. Having babies is great fun, and you expect to lose…

  • Medical abbreviations ‘pose risk’

    The Medical Defense Union (MDU?) and the BBC commented at the weekend on the problems caused by using abbreviations in patients’ notes. Abbreviating drug names and drug doses seems to be particularly bad news, but I say that this goes for anatomy too. When teaching you’ll usually find clinicians using far more abbreviations than anatomists.…

  • Rhiannon and Sam’s Embryology, episode 3.

    Not only did I fix the podcasts, but we finished and uploaded the latest episode to iTunes and to the Medicine page. In this episode we look at the early development of the embryo, starting just after fertilisation and following it through implantation into the uterine wall, the beginnings of the placenta, to the formation…
