July 15, 2008 – 11:32 am
Envisioning a World without Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s Disease is a terrible affliction which more and more people are being diagnosed with each year.

December 31, 2007 – 12:21 pm
One topic that is a personal favorite of mine is photo organization. Pictures are great and swell and all, but what it becomes a crummy task trying to find anything after you hit your 5,000th or so photo (digital or analog).
