Test Driving the Nissan Leaf

Well, I suppose once a year or so I should update this blog! Sorry for the long absence.Anyway, I had a chance today to drive the new, all-electric Nissan Leaf as part of their promotional tour of Canada with the new car.  I'm not much of a car review or automotive expert, but I figured it is still

PRK - 11 weeks post surgery

Well, this is probably my last post on this topic.I went to my eye doctor today and he is very pleased with the progress. My left eye is basically perfect, but my right eye has a very slight -0.025 diopter nearsightedness, but this is starting from over -8 in both eyes. He said the right eye is stil

Arduino-Twilio Dialer Application

Well, it has been a while since I posted an Honest-to-God Arduino project here! What with getting my eye surgery done and one thing and another, this has taken me quite a while. Besides, there were more than a few challenges in getting it all to work along the way!This project is a concept for an in

PRK - 5 weeks post-surgery

Wow, two blog posts in two days! Yes, there is an Arduino project in the works, but it's moving slowly!Anyway, today was my five week checkup so it seems like a good time to give an update on my eyes. Things are continuing to go well. My doctor says I am starting to be able to read the 20-20 lines o

PRK - 2 weeks post surgery

Well, today is two weeks and I just had a followup with my doctor, so it seems like a good time for a progress report...In general, things are proceeding and each day is still slightly better, but then some days are better than others and the improvements are smaller. I do still get blurry vision, d

PRK - 1 week post surgery

So, it has now officially been a week post-surgery and things continue to progress albeit not in a completely linear fashion.Today I realized I could once again read small magazine text without reading glasses and I was able to bump down the font sizes on my computer for the first time. Still, it is

PRK - Post Surgery Day 5

Quick update today...My doctor (and most of my reading on the surgery) said the recovery would not be linear and I guess today was the non-linear day. Things that were quite clear yesterday are very blurry again today - for instance I totally can't read the house addresses across the street. Even a

PRK - Post surgery Day 4

Today has been a big improvement over yesterday. Immediately after getting up, my left eye still had the somewhat painful "eyelash" sensation, but by mid-morning that had gone away and today is the first day I haven't had to take any pain killers - just steroidal drops (which I will be on for months
