Meming the Desktop

-
I was invited (read tagged by Renny to show what my desktops look like. Most of the time, I do not see my desktop because it is covered with applications (much like the way I don't see my physical desktop because it is covered with documents and other stuff).

This is my home computer desktop.
This is the desktop on my laptop. Tania asks why I have Jason as my wallpaper, so, to be fair, I alternate wallpapers between them.
This is my work desktop (with stuff blurred out so I don't run afoul of giving away anything confidential).


I am going to tag the first five people in my Visitors Reflections column (left side of the blog).

MOI, KayMac, breal, tin-tin, and Barbara consider yourselves tagged. The rule is simple, post a picture of your desktop on your blog.

ghee: that is not a dog. It is a wolf. The image comes from this Polish website titled Zdjęcia wilkow z archiwów publicznych (no tricks, just pronounce it as written), transliterated it says pictures wolf from archive public

I think I have only once refused to play a meme and that was because I had already done it and there was nothing new to add to it, so I would have duplicated a post.

Your desktops look like they've got a case of the measles! I don't mean Jason. Jason is very cute.

breal: I don't put them there, but I don't remove them either. This way, it serves as a reminder for something I might have to delete one day.

rennyba: as I said to ghee, no, it is a wolf. I have always considered the wolf to be my Fylgja.

tena: oh, no! not measles. I just went through Chicken Pox with the kids this summer. .

Risky Singapore?

-
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 .

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

-
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
