Dentist 2.0

Chipped a tooth.

My new dentist:

- Has a green office

- Uses a hazmat filling excavator. It was joy seeing pieces of silver sucked painlessly from my chipped tooth, up a clear plastic tube, into the sealed waste unit.

- A single xray revealed everything needed to map the 3D fit of the cap

- Information about my chipped tooth was loaded to a fabricator, which cut the cap in pure porcelain. 22 minutes later my tooth was fixed and looking better than ever.

Amazing.

Woman lived hidden in Japan flat

“A woman has been arrested in Japan for sneaking into a man’s house and living in his wardrobe without him knowing.”

Has anyone seen the surveillance video?

Dumb and inert

“information can be just that, dumb and inert: it needs tools of interpretation and discernment and judgment in order to have meaning. “Definitive meaning,” as such, is a slippery slope indeed. In fact, the slope is steeper and more treacherous now as the sheer quantity of information (from Google Earth, TerraServer, etc.) grows. To see a photograph of a thing is to see a picture of that thing, an interpretation of it, whether by the photographer, the remote satellite camera, or the viewer. The same aerial photograph of a flooded New Orleans may be interpreted quite differently by a hydraulic engineer, a former resident of that city, a member of Congress, or a pastor. There are multiple truths in images, but too frequently singular truths are ascribed to them.”
