Election day. It's interesting to note that while I live in
a pocket of liberals within a liberal city, there is a strong republican
trend in the rest of the state. I chose to align myself with neither
'side', prefering to choose on the issues, not on the party. I can hardly
completely agree with any party's platform; that's why we are such
individuals. But. Arnold? sigh.
Random user interface design flaw: I got a new insulin pump. Same brand
as the old, yet the old one's screen was the exact reverse of this one.
Ie. I wear it with the screen facing my body. I used to pull it away and
tilt right to read it's display. Now it's tilt left. Amazing how
annoying that can truly be. Design flaw #2: the time is not displayed on
the main screen. They took all of my suggestions about making it act like
an alarm clock, only to make you press a button to get the time. Dude,
these things would be so trivial to fix in software. I would kill for a
patch. In fact, I'd even take my vacation time to code the damn thing.
Please?
