Thanks for all the well wishes!

Thankfully I took my last pain med on Monday. Vicodin made me nauseous. Percoset gave me headaches and caused really weird dreams. True story: Sunday night, I dreamt that something (either a lizard or a piranha) had latched itself on to my bad finger — and I was desperate to pull it off. Unfortunately that led me to forcibly pulling off my finger splint in the middle of the night and shifting the pressure bandage over the wound — Verily I say to thee the test of true love is changing your drug addled spouse’s finger dressing at 2.30 in the morning. I married a good woman.

Any pain from the finger was worth getting my head back together.

Anyway, I’m feeling so much better now.

vicodin causes some nausea
only one hand types

That’s about it. I’m down to one pain pill ever few hours. I’m looking forward to none. The finger looks prettly gnarley, but it’s got color other than purplish-green) so thats a great thing.

BTW, if you haven’t seen Shake Hands With Danger, where the previous title came from, check it out here.

As the few of you who check this blog have noticed, things have ground to a halt. That’s been driven by a few things.

Summer research, at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle and within the local citizen journalism community, has been taking a lot of my time. The rest has been going to RIT and publishing related research there.

Perhaps the bigger problem are mySQL/database issues that I’ve run into since migrating all of the old blog content to the WordPress platform. Basically, I need to bite the bullet and upgrade my database.

Finally, I’m planning on a major site update (ironcially moving the blog directory location one last time).

Long and short, over the next few days I’m planning on backfilling some entires into the blog, but up to date content is still a bit aways.  See you all in July.
