Weâre pretty sure none of the fine ladies weâve been squiring about town would ever dream of using this, but Cingular is offering a new service called âEscape-A-Dateâ that will actually automatically call you at a pre-set time to help you extricate yourself from any unpleasant situations. There are even eight different scripts that prompt you to say the right things so you can make it sound like youâve just gotten a very important and urgent call that requires you to leave immediately.
Make it 'Escape-A-Meeting' and I think you have a blockbuster on your hands.

I've decided to start adding some of my anesthesia-related materials to this site as they were recently taken down by the Penn State. Accordingly, I've added two new lines under 'Navigation' on the right side of this page. They are Key References (for Medline citations) and Anesthesiology.
I added something I think is nifty to the site. At the end of each day on the weblog main page there is now a quote--usually from a famous person or well known writer, but occasionally from someone I know. Likewise, in the RSS feeds for this site, each day also has a quote. Thanks to Conversant's randomizer macro, this is a breeze.
