And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jess, that's a beautiful watch!

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Dana!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This one, ita.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Cashmere, what phone did you get? I've been wanting something from Verizon/Alltel with a qwerty keyboard, but I've been too lazy to go find one.

Aw, lookit the little tree octopus. Inn'ee cute! I want one.

I'm very acquisitive lately.
