Ah, nevermind, I just noticed that what I took to be an exhibit hall is being called a "gallery space", which sounds like a few tables and an installation or two.

I'll look forward to hearing your reports from the meeting, Joel.

Same here, "Boingboing20Discount" doesn't seem to be recognized for either the student or non-student registration. In any case, $200 is still too spendy for me to consider the show as I would really only be interested in the exhibit hall anyways. Aren't there any exhibit hall only passes available for like $40-50?

Apparently Christopher Neil has posted for over a year on an ESL forum under the pseudonym "Peter Jackson". The forum regulars have spent the last day reviewing his old posts for creepiness:

Apparently, the mods have taken down his avatar, but someone mentions it being a photo of a person.

DIY tooth-pulling

October 15, 2007 10:09am

When I was a kid, my father pulled all of my baby teeth when they got loose. I wonder what percentage of the survey responses (found here, btw, http://147.29.80.160/portal/csc/genericContentGear/download/Dentistry+watch+national+summary+of+results+-+final3-15-10.pdf?document_id=116400639)
may include self-treatment such as this, or use of over the counter analgesics. The question (pages 19, 36, 52) only mentions "self-medication", which is a fairly encompassing term.

Also, I need a root canal at the moment, and the earliest appointment my dentist could schedule (here in good old NJ, USA) is two months from now. Not sure this is the speedy service someone might expect from a private system. Still, this is better than my last NYC dentist who could never find an appointment sooner than 6 months out, and this is with full, private insurance.
