I set up an appointment to get my second tattoo tonight. It is set for Monday afternoon slash evening, and I’m excited. There’s a concept picture of the tattoo at the end of this post. I’ll definitely get an unveiling picture for ya’ll, but it turns out that I left my camera cable at my apartment at school, so I can’t upload any pictures. Yea, that means the beach, too. Let’s say that I’m not exactly a happy camper about that. I’ll be able to upload some from my blackberry, but I’ve been crazy busy since the beach, and will have to find time to get it all sorted out.

In other news: Somehow I missed the fact that Animas and DexCom have teamed up to create an integrated system?!?!? Where was I when this news came out??? I got a letter in the mail from them and almost fell over when I read it. It’s about damn time, Animas. Now hurry up and release the pump so I can break mine and just upgrade. hahaha But seriously. I’m really excited for that new pump/CGM integration. I’ve wanted CGM for a long time, but never thought that adding in a whole new device would be all that beneficial. I mean, it’d be crazy benefitial. But I can get by on fingerpricks until the integrated units would be awesome. Seriously. Who’s pumped? This guy.

Anyways, the Olympics are going on. And some of that stuff is mad crazy. The amount of flips that some people can do between jumping into a board and hitting the ground is astounding sometimes. =)

Just two things I saw in the news today: An Artificial Pancreas and Stem Cell Research. Not breaking news, really, but it’s a step in the right direction nonetheless. Thought I’d share in case anyone missed it.

Take it easy, ya’ll. I’ll be checking in again soon.
Tom.
