via john robb i ran across a scary report on how drivers that talk on cell phones have slower reaction times and stopping times than those under the influence of alcohol:
"The research said reaction times were, on average, 30% slower when talking on a mobile than when just over the legal limit, and nearly 50% slower than when driving normally."
i'm embarrassed to admit that i've been known to talk on the phone in the car while trying to type an email on my 2-way pager and fish for change for the oh-so-frequent chicago toll booths. yes, i know it's stupid, but's it's amazing how easy it is to get seduced into thinking that your car is just a mobile office.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
