    Free tour of the place, big hullabaloo. I'll fly in to do it all personally. Be a hero.

    The Internet Archive would be more than happy to host the Wu-Tang Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album should the buyer of the government auction wish to free it.

    (We actually already have this tape online but I figured hey, I'm processing tapes quickly, might as well throw this through the new nicer system.)

    No medical doctor wants how I describe things, but I'll do it any way: Statins punch the crap out of your liver so it makes less cholesterol. Repatha basically makes the good cholesterol in your system live 30% longer so it fights for you like an elderly Superman.

    The result, therefore, is I've had two months of miserable feeling reacting to a drug nobody would normally experiment with putting into me after my previous reactions, just to make sure I get the good drug.

    The Miracle Shot, for people who care, is Repatha.

    Why do they insist on three? Because the Miracle Shot is significantly more expensive than the statins so insurance companies want you to truffle-pig through every probably-not-great medication before you settle on, you know, the gold-quality thing that will Just Work.

    American Healthcare Follies: I took two statins and had bad reactions. I was asked to please take one more statin before The Miracle Shot, so I did and I had a REALLY bad reaction I'm still recovering from. Why did we do the third? Insurance companies insist on three.

    Emulation will ultimately be how 99% of all software is played (over time).

    Earlier this year and I made a brief instructional site about emulation as a tool for digital media archivists. After incorporating feedback, I'm pleased to share it more widely!
