dreads day 12: hat symmetry [Flickr] →
Erik Mallinson posted a photo: One thing I started to notice yesterday: when I wear a hat hair sticks out of my right side but not the left. The two center front dreads also look uneven. It happens each time I put the hat on. I don’t really care, but it’s weird that it’s consistent.
Average cost of braces for adults in Boston (2004)
Comprehensive Orthodontics - Adult $7714.00
Q: How much does adult orthodontic treatment cost?
A: hmm. It matters how much work the orthodontist has to do and where you live. *If you live in a rural area, with low rents and few malpractice lawyers, standard orthodontic treatment can be obtained for under $3,000.* It will cost more if there are complications. *If you live in an expensive city with many malpractice lawyers, the costs can be significantly higher.* Generally the orthodontist will want a substantial down payment to cover the orthodontists costs of starting up a new case. Then the orthodontist will ask you to make payments every time you come in for a checkup or to have your braces tightened.

According to the newsletter if you put “autograph” in the notes on the order you get autographed copies. In 2010 2025 when the non-gtd’ers are totally insane from information overload and we run the world these autographed copies will be worth at least $35.
edit: I changed the date because I realized that 2010 was only 2 years away.

Bombich Software: Carbon Copy Cloner Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it ‘til you trust it. The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling...

Erik Mallinson posted a photo: My hair is really soft today but is floppy too. I guess that’s a good thing(tm) as gravity is taking over.

Erik Mallinson posted a photo: I thought it would be annoying but it’s pretty fun to wrap a towel around my head. It also dries my hair in ways that shaking, squeezing, and blow drying do not.
