Resolutions
2008.1 Lose weight
Specifically 12.5 kilograms. I’m currently 77.5 kg, which because of my height puts my BMI into the overweight category. Back when I was a lad, I used to have a 6-pack stomach. Then I gave up sport and started working full-time at a desk all day. My aim is to drop to 65 kg, get rid of my belly, and get fit at the same time.
2008.2 Start learning a martial art
I’ve always wanted to become proficient in a martial art. The three styles that interest me are Capoeira, Kung Fu, and Silat. Not sure yet which one I’ll pick. This also ties in nicely with resolution 2008.1.
2008.3 Write a book
This is little a bit of a sneaky resolution, since I’m already well underway writing one. So I guess the resolution should be to make sure I complete it (preferably on time) and it is published in 2008.
2008.4 Launch an interesting Internet “project”
I’ve got a bunch of ideas – some truly boring and pathetic, but a couple that could be pretty cool. I’m not sure that any of them have any commercial value, but that’s not the reason why I’d be doing them. I will release at least one of them into the wild this year and see what happens.

» On being a neurosurgeon
Neurosurgical training is very competitive and grueling. It usually requires seven years of residency (six to eight) after completing medical school, plus the option of a fellowship for subspecialization (lasting an additional one to three years). Most applicants to neurosurgery training programs have excellent medical school grades and evaluations, have published scientific and/or clinical research, and have obtained board scores of 95 or higher.
“We need that kind of double-Darwinian selection process so only the strongest survive. You don’t want the unskilled fiddling with peoples brains.“ — Dr. Deon Louw, Neurosurgeon

The benefits of communication with other people sharing a similar disability has allowed for unprecedented disability-related support. For some, access to the Internet may be seen as an extension of the body.
