White House secrecy

“The Bush administration, citing the confidentiality of executive branch communications, said Tuesday that it did not plan to turn over certain documents about Hurricane Katrina or make senior White House officials available for sworn testimony before two Congressional committees investigating the storm response.” Eric Lipton, White House Declines to Provide Storm Papers, New York Times, 25 January 2006

What is with these guys that everything is some kind of state secret?

Video Archive of Lectures by Experts on Cardiac Bioelectricity and Arrhythmias

During our time at Washington University in St.Louis, I had the opportunity to attend many of the lectures given by the Cardiac Bioelectricity and Arrhythmia Center (CBAC). I noticed that they digitally record video and audio from all of these lectures. Luckily, these are posted online, so that I may continue to follow the series even though I have returned to Tulane.

These are some of the top people in the field, presenting cutting-edge research. If you have an interest in cardiac electrophysiology, I highly recommend that you watch these videos.

It was made available on this website with permission from the speaker, who reserves and holds all rights.

My Former Apartment, Gutted

I stopped by my former apartment today to get something out of the garage, but the lock has been replaced on the door that works, probably because it was rusted shut. Here’s a video through the window with an explanation of the layout.

And here are some photos from the scene – click them for the Flickr pages with captions and such:

Living in New Orleans Once Again

I now live in New Orleans again! It’s kind of strange. At least the Trolley Stop and Lebanon’s Cafe are open. I need to swing by work today. Now that will probably be surreal.

Back in STL

I’m spending one more night at the apartment in Saint Louis. Tomorrow we pack up the mattresses and head back to New Orleans.
