A lot of people already know this, but I will be having LASIK surgery on Wednesday. Here’s the nifty scan they did of my eye:

I’m going to try to video tape it, but I’m not sure if I’ll post the video. I did a quick search of YouTube and found a number of surgeries posted, and they’re… uh… graphic, in a medical way. I’m just not sure I need to post my surgery. I’m really not into that kind of “shock factor”.

Wikipedia says this about the wholphin:
A wholphin or wolphin is a rare hybrid, formed from a cross between a bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus (mother), and a false killer whale Pseudorca crassidens (father). Although they have been reported to exist in the wild, there are currently only two in captivity, both at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii.

The first time I heard of a wholphin was when I started subscribing to the DVD magazine of the same name.

Each dvd issue is filled with short films, some created specifically for the issue, some are award winning shorts, some are just great little films. The publishers also post some films on their website and some fun clips can also be found in their blog.

In their post from 1/18/07, describing some activities at a party:

Wholphin is published quarterly by McSweeney’s.
