Trust the lightBULB people to come up with a new IDEA! How apropos! Very cool though. My favourite tie dye t-shirt from the 70's was an orange and white one I called my "Creamsicle Shirt"! (I always name my clothes!) Of course, today they might make that with a fabric that smelled and tasted like one too! (Hopefully, not fabric that melted in a warm environment!)

CBC Radio had a documentary on Singapore and its lack of risk taking yesterday (only just heard it this morning). Since I know there are 1 or 2 Singaporean readers of this blog, I am curious to know how accurate the documentary is. I find that people often have mistaken impressions about other cultures and people. You can hear it here .
I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some

Greetings from Perú estimado paisano.
rennyba: thanks.
irredento urbanita: I think it would be a neat shirt. You would only need one and then program it to display whatever you want, whatever your mood is.
vina: I am sure you could play videos on it - you need to go in to marketing.
