Comments Off

First apartment I checked out in Reykjavik, was absolutely perfect. On the top side of my max spending limit but it’s in a fantastic location, close to work, nicely furnished and it’s blue! Hope I get it.

When school is out, Icelandic tradition states all 20 year olds must dress up in costumes and spend all day drinking on the street. These are from around 10am.

Microsoft Healthvault, so far a typical MS experience

March 6th, 2008

Not sure if this is mac only (tried on safari and firefox), the healthvault signup is so buggy I cant even register.

The first signup page has my birthday filled in and greyed out.

Then the next page gives me an error and tells me to enter in my birthday. The field is greyed out and I can’t enter anything. Fantastic!

The Candidates Healthcare plans side by side

January 4th, 2008

I’ve struggled to plow through the candidates health care initiatives and found this really good side by side comparison of each initiative.

There are a few good nuggets in here, including plan portability and getting insurance companies to make their claim adjutication tables public.
