I'm 42 and my wife is 43. We've been married 20 yrs and decided before we got married that we didn't want children unless we could come up with compelling reasons to do so. We neve…

Not making any more Americans (assuming here) is one of the most ecologically responsible things someone can do.

CPAP treatment (and no other substantial changes in my life) brought my blood pressure down from 160/110 down to 118/78. Previous doctors had tried, without success, to lower it wi…

Most of the machines sold now are continuous, but not at constant pressure. Mine's set to detect apnea events and adjust between 5-15 for pressure and to adjust that further based …

I believe my neurologist was one of those who helped develop that device (Cornelius). Can't log in to see, but sounds like the same thing. But, he keeps me on an adjustable CPAP ma…

My ResMed S9 machine detects exhalation (configurable levels) and backs off of the pressure. The mask that I wear (covers mouth and nose) has small holes that vent both exhalation …

I was deemed "smart" in high school (I was regularly teased and mockingly called "Professor"), but lazy enough about things like homework that I stayed on the "B" honor roll all of…

I tend to debug on paper fairly often. I print out a pile of code and go off to a quiet room and digging through it seems to make more sense to me sometimes than staring at the mon…

I believe that founders should start taking a salary of some sort immediately. However, I think that the salary can be deferred if the money isn't actually there. However, not havi…

I do, using PasswordMaker. Plugs into browsers, runs standalone from a keychain drive, multi platform, etc. You use one main password that it combines with the site name to get a s…

I/E isn't as much about whether you are "outgoing" or "gregarious", etc. It's really more about whether you: * Process things internally/externally * Get energy from being with peo…

If you're more just trying to make really nice forms for web applications, there's a nice set of CSS themes from Wufoo . I've been using them for lots of my prototypes before we hi…
