I’m increasingly disturbed by a very backward tendency to implement bad science in healthcare IT systems.

A Macbook Pro looks like a Macbook Pro. And a Windows machine looks like a typical Windows machine: a butt-ugly [...]

So, I ventured out in the World of Warcraft after quite a bit of pressure from a friend. Downloaded the 10-day trial and fired it up. Works just fine.
I created my first character to look a bit like me. Too much like me, really. Short legs, gray, rotund and highly ineffectual with a weapon. [...]

Anyone out there feel like joining forces to start an ISSA chapter in Knutby? Or Uppsala? Or, if you really must, Stockholm?
If so, write to me.
