A very public diary!  You can leave comments on Stacy's blog, even if you don't register - they just show up as anonymous.

No, IHD is not a blog, but rather a discussion board.
At least that's what I think it is ...

Maybe it's just the prescriptions, but I thought some agency wa trying to get the doctors to use the computer for btter patient care due to their handwritting. I know in the news that they showed that some schools are  requiring med students to take a handwritting course. This was on ABC Evening News a few months back.

I have a Livejournal, its a good blog.    And mine I can make privet, friends only, or public. I love it.  Not that anyone reads it, but its nice to have.  I like it better then a pen and paper.  I was never good at writing in a journal, so I write in one online.  You should get one, I think everyone should have one.   ;D

And there are blogs coming from professional journalists and commentators on the events of the day, instead of personal stuff.
