To continue the theme.. The inventor of the bed alarm that is so sensitive it rings everytime my patients turn shift sigh or fart deserves a medal. Especially the alarms that play digital versions of somewhere over the rainbow.

Nah, just not interested. The movies do bore me, though. 🙂 (“Oh, God, another car chase. Another ten minute fight scene. Wake me up when it’s over.”)

I write software for a living too. I’ve never used facebook, but have heard horror stories.

I will say though that I’m not always thrilled with my interfaces. Too often I know that I don’t like the interface, but I’m not sure what I want/need to do to make it better. That’s when I call someone over and ask for ideas. Usually with some input it gets better.
