Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Robotic Surgeon
I find this really hard to believe but it seems real. In Milan Italy, for the the first time ever a robot performed surgery on a human by itself. It was a 50 minute operation for atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm. It's apparently done 40 previous surgeries but this is the first time it did the whole procedure by itself. Who did the QA on this?
