I was surprised at how little I remembered about this place. It’s definitely worth a read.

Good work, Kyle.
Not sure how I ended up here, though it may have something to do with the video game addiction… Go figure :-) For the COD4 lovers out there, you have to admit, this thing is awesome. Or maybe you’re just another marine lookin’ for your next commie kill. Either way, I wouldn’t mind having one of these myself.
That’s one of the few explanations I was able to come up with when I realized today that more and more youtube videos are no longer available to people outside of the US. I can’t even look up my favorite Jay Z music video anymore??? That’s when I say no to internet blocking.
Ultra Surf bypass ftw. Download it now.
It’s almost been two weeks now since I started the final year of med school and I’m glad that so far it’s going really well. The professors and doctors really start to rely on you and give you a lot more responsibility plus give you a lot of incentive to learn. I’m also really happy to see that there are finally doctors out here who are constantly updating their knowledge with the latest EBM and tons of recent research articles. It’s good to know that medical education isn’t just coming straight out of a book anymore, but from much more practical, and tested means.
I just wish the bar hadn’t been set so low the previous few years. The basic sciences departments really need to step up their game to the same level as the clinical people. You can’t just keep teaching medicine out of one or two books that have been used for years– that won’t make anyone a master of the subject. But in any case, the final year docs are doing an awesome job and are bombarding us daily with enough information to finally make us feel like we’d be okay on our own even before graduating this December.
Speaking of which, I can’t wait. I’ve been here a long time, and I’m ready to go home.
From now on I think it’ll be cool to keep a history here of interesting stuff I read on Wikipedia. It’ll be a neat way for me to go back to articles I like, and for others to see some random stuff.
First up- Supercooling. Now that’s awesome.
Ok, so the iPhone even has an application to read MRIs. Now I’m sold.
Movie: Taken
[Warning: Spoilers ahead]
I for one love a good action movie. After seeing all the Die Hards, Lethal Weapons, Sylvester Stallone/Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, the Bourne series, plus about 30 James Bond films, it’s hard to come up with original material. Fortunately, Taken is one of the best action movies I have seen in a long time. One thing I really liked is that they try their best to make the movie as realistic as possible. Unlike James Bond (and I’m not attacking him here, I am a huge Bond fan) Liam Neeson doesn’t drive a car off a bridge at 75mph to land on a moving boat then get out of the car and kill 100 people with just a pistol and a punch to the face while there are hundreds of explosions everywhere before getting back into his car which suddenly turns into a nuclear submarine all courtesy of BMW. I mean yeah, that’s pretty sweet, but let’s face it, no secret agency balls that hard– yet.
In Taken, Liam Neeson is a retired, out of work bodyguard/secret service agent who wants to build a relationship with his daughter whom he rarely saw in her childhood because of his job. When she goes on a trip to Paris with a friend and gets kidnapped, her only chance at survival is the fact that she happens to be on the phone with her dad during the kidnapping and is able to warn him that she’s in trouble. Jedi knight that he is, Liam Neeson springs to her rescue (or maybe it’s cuz he’s her father). Either way, Liam Neeson ends up in Paris and does a great job at pulling off not only some awesome action scenes, but also doing the whole detective bit. Towards the middle of the movie, you realize that he’s not just a bodyguard but was really well trained in the whole spy genre.

A couple of artists that I’d recommend:
RJD2, Mae, Bossanova, Yppah, The Knife, and of course, Queens of the Stone Age.
