Congrats on your new gig at CNBC. I thought your take on Hank Paulson was spot on. Somebody has to stand up to Gasparino.

Presidential Politics and the Anthropotechnical Interface

2008-11-20T09:20:00.002-06:00

Some friends of mine and I started up a blog recently, which, as you'll see if you follow the link, is mostly in German. I posted some reflections on the special effects of election night 2008, though, in English, and I thought I'd link over to here. Nothing too profound, but I'd be interested in hearing your comments. (Who knows, maybe I'll even get around to writing the article I envision there...)

Here's the post: Presidential Politics and the Anthropotechnical Interface.

Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well.

The iPlod.

I came up with this phrase, probably not the first, when I was ready to run over this guy yesterday.

"Why was I ready to run him over," you ask. Well I was driving down a narrow lane and I was right behind this guy who was ploding along.....and he just kept on taking up the whole lane...as if I wasn't even there......when he finally realized I was behind him he quickly got out of the way. That was when I saw that he had his iPod in his ears.

Hence the name iPlod.

Now I just have to make a dumb video and post it on youtube for my 3 second of fame.

You people have got to get on Facebook!!

It's so weird, I'm meeting up with all these old high school friends and current friends, but none of my college friends are on there... Is this a conspiracy or something?!

Birthday of The Kane yester-day it was. Happy it was, i hope. Strong the Force is with this one.

Yeah, he likes hookers and fart jokes, but care not the Force does. OK, crabs, maybe that rules him out of jedi-ness, but nobody's perfect.

Fuckin' Force, all pious and shit. Who cares about crabs? He's a good guy.

Fuck all y'all, i think The Kane has the Force, and i hope you doubters choke. Yeah.

Paola's Tea for Two birthday party was a success. She loved all her gifts, but mostly, she had fun with her friends. We missed those of you who couldn't make it.

Cardiac Stress

This one is a little more graphically pleasing.

Again, rest above, stress below.

PET Cardiac Stress Test with Rb-82

Kane axes, originally uploaded by larkinkane.

Here is a screen shot from a volunteer PET cardiac exam I did this last week. It involved laying inside a camera while being infused with a vasodilator called dipyridamole that has some uncomfortable (but rarely fatal) side-effects.

I don't recommend it.

But whatever the side-effects, the research director said I'm not going to die from cardiac failure anytime soon. In fact I've got a pretty healthy cardiac reserve flow.

What they show are comparative sets of blood perfusion images between rest and stress (dipyridamole) conditions.

BTW, the doc assured me that is not an apical defect--as it kinda looks like.

Happy Birthday To The Carol!

Adolph celebrated his mid thirty post hurricane Ike birthday with a
Cheese infused bacon/beef hybrid burger.
Followed by beignets and brownies.
All cooked with love by his sis' Annabel.
I am sure it will be a birthday he won't forget even though he
actually forgot it was his birthday.

Adolph Might Not Get This Message

2008-09-15T07:40:00.001-05:00

because the power may still be out in his Houston neighborhood…

But Happy Birthday!

I wish you electricity and water-pressure! Clean streets and curfew-less nights! Also, tasty cake, good health and high scores.

Update From Houston

2008-09-14T10:05:00.002-05:00

UPDATE:
The power returned on our side of the street at about 4 o'clock (sunday). Sadly, this means we won't be evacucationing to Austin (sorry todd and pablo!). It's been a pretty surreal time here in Houston. Seeing the city nearly entirely blacked out while taking a drive last night to visit with Adolp was just crazy. Trees are down all over the city; not just branches and leaves - TREES. We spent our entire saturday cleaning up Donna Lynn street. I started to pull limbs off the street and sweep leaves out of the gutters to keep the water flowing. Next thing i knew half the street was out there cleaning. By the end of the day, we had our entire street cleared of limbs and water. Adolfo IV was responsible for pushing water into the gutters with a push broom. I'll upload pics when we have more time.

The important things is we area all okay and damage to the house was minimal. I lost a little bit of my fence and i just discovered a leak in the roof this morning. We're not sure if our power is permanent so we are charging everything we can and putting foods into the freezer for storage.

Just got a call from Killy. He called me from a neighbor’s house because he does not have a land-line at his place. His neighborhood and most of Houston has been without power for the last 24 hours. Who knows when power will be restored. Also, there is little to no water-pressure. I think that they are going to set up a curfew later on in the evening. No reports of zombies or anything…yet.

TEXAS TRIP
