My favorite #Gnomedex schwag item so far is the starbucks mug.

There is something cathartic about loading the mug with six coffee packets, and being ready for a hike, or work.  It sort of feels like I’m preparing for a hunt.
Ok, first impression of Starbucks instant coffee it’s very strong,  I’ll need to dilute it to [...]

I go to a lot of conferences, generally all dental in nature; our wonderful tax structure forces me to stay within my discipline.  I use enough technology in my practice to justify broadening my horizons, so I figured what the heck.   It turned out to be  broadening enough for me to have developed “OY,”  [...]

I sometimes drive a 1992 Mini Cooper.  I love it, it’s the car I’ve wanted since I was 10 years old.  One of my dad’s buddies raced this little car when I was a kid, and let my dad and I take a lap in it at the end of a race.  It still gives [...]

Why doesn’t Apple give away a golden ticket for iTunes?  A Willy Wonka golden Apple that allows a user to download as much as they can of anything they want for life?  how about a year? month? day?
What an awesome gift for Christmas,  here’s a golden apple you have free reign for a week, give [...]

I know what it is to be a professional - I operate a dental air engine that spins at 200k in people’s mouths - yep, two hundred thousand RPMs. It’s difficult to imagine what that means, because people can’t imagine 200 thousand RPMs in their mouths. They are usually afraid of the dentist. What it really [...]

I don’t know if Sonicare has sold out or what, but the new design is similar to every other sonic brush out there.  They have redesigned the head, and eliminated the magnets that would be shaken back and forth by the counter rotating current in the handle.   I believe the oral B sensonic has a [...]

Went to Spicer’s deli in Port Angeles Sunday and had a really good lunch with my family. It took me a while to “get it,” but when when I did it was real. Real is the theme there: real spices, real food, real soda in real bottles. No fancy packaging, no extreme marketing, no sensory [...]

I got to ride a bionx bike the other day,  it was a helluva rush to pedal a couple of times and feel like you’re being towed, it was a silent, awesome experience.  My commute is 5 miles, but it’s up hill home, bionx also regenerates with the breaking so I would be making power [...]

This may be a short post, I know Chris doesn’t like the shorter posts, but I thought this to be worthwhile.  Over the years I have had many patients that have imparted their wisdom to me, there was one in particular that I have never forgotten.
He was a gristled farmer, hands and face worn from [...]
