No idea. Before he became story writer boy, last I heard he had finished law school and was working crazy hours. I knew he had wanted to quit and write instead (our parents know each other), just didn't know he'd actually done it.

I think I need to buy this watch.

That is cool!

I had a neat pocket watch once, but I went to the flea market and bought a cow-belly magnet and put it in the same pocket as the pocket watch, and that was the end of that....

eta: No such thing as a flee market, right?

My current wristwatch has been living more or less permanently in my purse for several weeks. I think it's time to move on.

EWG has released a review of research on cell phone radiation. Among other things:

A joint study by researchers in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom found that people who had used cell phones for more than 10 years had a significantly increased risk of developing glioma, a usually malignant brain tumor, on the side of the head they had favored for cell phone conversations

They also have a database of phones & PDAs so you can see how much radation your tech emits. My phone is pretty bad, boo. But I barely use it.

Huh. The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?

Jess, that's a beautiful watch!

I really love this one: [link] I just don't need a pocketwatch, dang it.

Hmm. My Blackberry Pearl is pretty bad, too. But my previous phone was a RAZR, which is one of the best, so maybe it averages out?

So you're a fan of The Atom, Allyson?

Good luck, Dana!

I currently have a pocketwatch. In that it's my wristwatch from years ago without the lower band and some of upper band having fallen off. I keep it my pocket. I even replaced the battery a few years ago.
