Shush!

Shush! Ring restorer is my new best friend.� When I silence my phone I often forget to turn the sound back on when the meeting is over. This app ties into the phone’s normal silence functionality, prompting you with a timer dialog.� Set it for the time of your meeting and it will turn the ringer back on automatically.


What a View.

Although it looks like a postcard, this is the view of the bay I had from the couch I was working from in the SF Google office on Friday – not too shabby.


X-Rays

I had some fun playing around with the fancy x-ray imaging data the radiologist gave me on convenient compact disk, check it out.

side
There are a couple areas to point out. First, the damaged ligament (anterior tibiotalar ligament) is between my tibia and fibula in my ankle, and there is a pin going through both bones pulling them together. The separation would have led to a loose ankle and ultimately arthritis, and the “after” picture shows everything in the ankle pulled together more tightly. Second, in the side view note how far the break travels up the back of my fibula beyond the support area of the plate, wow.
