It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Lithium.
