I think today I got my first cavity.
I’m not sure, for the lady cleaning my teeth thought it was a cavity, but the dentist said “It’s not a cavity yet, but it will become one if I don’t get it filled.”
So when’s a cavity a cavity? If it’s not a cavity, then exactly what is the dentist going to fill?
Regardless, I’m 33 and have gone this long without a cavity. I think mt teeth are doing pretty good.
Lambda Chi Alpha uses several third-party web-based services. One of which is RegOnline, a service that enables our office to process event registrations and credit card payments online.
In many cases, RegOnline works as expected. Users visit their site to register for an event and our staff is able to manage their registration. When it comes to printing name badges, however, RegOnline falters.
RegOnline’s name badge widget runs on Active X, which as you know, requires a Windows OS and Internet Explorer. But wait, there’s more; the badge widget also requires that the user has Administrative privileges.
Requiring users to have Windows and IE is frustrating, but tolerable. But requiring them to also have Administrative privileges is bad business. In our office of 35 employees, only three folks have such privileges, and that’s our IT team. I suspect most businesses operate this way.
For a company whose sole business resides on the web, it baffles me to find unnecessary audience-narrowing services such as RegOnline’s badges.

Fireworks for both evenings were well framed by the St. Louis Arch. Both shows lasted 20 minutes. Tonight’s show even had a night air show that included a plane shooting fireworks out its wings.
Our afternoon in St. Louis revolved around the arch. In Pearce-vacation syle, we caught an IMAX film covering Louis & Clark’s adventure. We then went up the arch. I captured a few low resolution videos. The coolest part was we were at the top of the arch while an air show was going on right outside. On many occasions, we were looking down on the jets as they roared by.
