Smell that everyone, that’s the smell of Sevoflurane. or 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-[trifluoromethyl]ethyl fluoromethyl ether for you nerds. Anesthetic gas… It’s trach change day friday! And I get to have some fun at the hospital with my friends Dr Walner and his anesthesiologist. I look forward to it and the minute I get an exact time you bet the countdown clock is going up!

Comcast Cable Modem

My internet is OUT again!!! We are on fail-over communication until further notice. E-Mails can see up to a 12 hour delay as with fail-over communication. They quote that this all should be over by early morning tomorrow, pfffffth. Yeah right Comcast. At least I got all my money back for today! $1.00 for the internet, that might not seem like a lot but it is a lot when it comes to a WHOLE DAY WITHOUT MY BLOODIED CABLE INTERNET! Thank god for my Blackberry and Verizon Wireless, what would I do without you Blackberry and VZ Wireless!

Anywho I am healthy albeit my sleep is screwed but whateva!

Squished super super tight but happy as can be! yay pressure

Today I got two surprises in the mail, well yesterday one came today the final one came and both came from the same friend but they wanted me to wait to open them till both arrived. I opened them and a very nice letter which I won’t disclose was inside and in two seperate shipments were TWO leather jackets!!! A tan one which my mom is going to make some repairs to the buttons on and a black zip up jacket. I absolutely LOVE them both! They are so smooth and so snug feeling and ahhh so relaxing. I think I am going to have to pick one to sleep wearing tonight, since the tan one is with mom getting fixed in the next few days I think I will wear my black one to sleep tonight, goodnight everyone… oh yeah and theres a video down below if you wanna oogle at how tight the harness presses at the jacket in my wheelchair and above theres LOADS of photos to look at and oogle at. If your like me you love things tight haha thats Autism for you!’

My G-Tube on the news!!!

Wow can you believe it, my G-Tube got filmed today by an ABC-7 news crew for the first ever G-Tube staph infection in our city and was aired on the 9 PM news. I got the screenshot off the TV output above… ok ok ok its a joke, either way the infection is gone after 8 days on antibiotic cream

G-Tube site infection day 2

Well well well, looks like the staff, err staph from my trach decided to jump to my G-Tube site and infect that! So we are using the Bactroban down there now to kill off the bacteria and be done with the staph infections. At this point we are restricting ALL visitors to the house. This has gone on for too long and we cannot have this go internal! Thankfully it is only on my skin right now!

Well looks like more Bactroban and pictures every few days, they will be on flickr just click the photo above.

The office visit has been completed therefore Code Change to CODE YELLOW has been executed

Trach looks good! antibiotic series end

Go ahead and click for more trach photos. FINALLY! After 10 days of antibiotics my tracheostomy is ALL CLEAR! And not itchy and stuff. It looks so much better and feels better, hopefully it will close up more, I can just hope for that…

Hit the oh $*!& button! The G-Tube is infected now!

As mentioned in the image above, someone please go hit the Oh $*&@!!! button as my G-Tube has a red ring around it that smells god awful. We go to the doctor tomorrow to find out what it is therefore we are officially CODE RED

Well well well… Tonight I have a good host of news for everyone, the biggest piece of news is…

iOS 4.0 is JAILBREAKABLE Thanks to Comex’s web based jailbreakme.com

Okay so your looking up there and thinking, whats that? remember way back in the day when iPod touch and iPhone were released, back when a exploit in Mobile Safari could be used to run and install programs? Well looks like Apple’s developers didn’t work that kink out in iOS 4.0 that or they left it there accidentally because they use Mobile Safari to engineer the software along with FTP and things that Cydia does. Oh well Apple, you screwed up and DMCA ain’t gonna protect your ass, we can Legally jailbreak our devices note: this does not mean that your warranty stays good, so do a factory restore before going into an Apple Store with it, mmmmkay? All it means is that no one can arrest us or sue us for jailbreaking it. jailbreakme.com goes back a LONG way back to the 1.0 firmwares. Odd that such an OLD exploit would be in NEW firmware. Oh well. So how do you do it? Pick up your iDevice, navigate with safari to jailbreakme.com or click any of the above many links if you’re reading this blog post on your iDevice. If your reading this on your PC or Mac don’t bother clicking them, it only runs ON the iDevice it’s self. No you can’t jailbreak your mac, its already jailbroken technically speaking. So below is a video showing how I did it!

Alright, almost everyone here knows I am autistic, if not, they need to read This post. and make sure to review the report!

Well I decided to make a 32 minute video. Meant for it to be shorter but thats autism for you when you get self stimulation (stimming) involved… Especially with a blood pressure cuff. Ahh it felt so good. I like to do it very often because it relaxes me before I go to sleep and I sleep better as a result of it. I love blood pressure cuffs!

And also I made a video demonstrating how I clean my trach site since MAAANY people have requested it!

Well I decided to change the way statistics are shown to the public, as required by my Transparency Act of 2008 (when the site was made)

It shows everything that those other detailed charts do but in one view, it does not show daily views / hourly crap but I don’t think thats necessary for public disclosure. Our main thing with disclosing publicallly is to see how “Strong” the growth of my site is.

Alinssite in July encountered a large spike in Visits however most of them apparently were return visitors, in line with expectations for amount of PEOPLE (orange) outperforming strongly (yellow) for number of visits.

Disabledplanet.net saw a small downtrend overall which is expected for a forum.
