Good for the FDA

July 31, 2006 · No Comments

 
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government revived efforts Monday to widen access to the morning-after pill, but only to women 18 and older, issuing a surprise announcement that it was reconsidering over-the-counter sale of the emergency contraceptive almost a year after it was thought doomed.

The Food and Drug Administration notified manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. early Monday that it wanted to meet within seven days to iron out new steps the company must take in its three-year battle to sell the pill, called Plan B, without a prescription to at least some women.

Thanks, CNN.
 
The apparent non-evilness of this particular move, given the FDA’s long and glorious history of pure, unadulterated evil confuses me.

Someone well-connected is about to, no doubt, make a LOT of money.

Emurse

July 14, 2006 · 1 Comment

I found this yesterday, but figured I’d save for a rainy day.
Although outside it’s HOT, here it is:  Emurse.
 
Emurse has got to be one of the most useful sites I’ve come across lately. Not only can you create a resume using their handy dandy template tool, but Emurse also allows you to download your resume from anywhere AND gives you the choice to instantly turn your resume into a web site so employers can find you.

 
How found?  Lifehacker, kiddies.  I can’t express the love enough.
 
I’ve yet to use the service, but it suuuuuure looks interesting.  Lots of feedback as well.  I say check it out.  Template?  Download anywhere?  WEBSITE?  Yeah, baby.  Not to mention a mess of things I haven’t mentioned yet.

For All You Shaver Haters Out There

July 12, 2006 · 1 Comment

 
I hate shaving! Thankfully I don’t have the same problem as some other men which requires me to shave every day, but even at every second day it’s a hassle. Is there anything simple I can do to slow my facial hair growth so that I need only shave, say, once a week at most?

 
Metafilter, via Lifehacker, yet again.
 
I friggin’ HATE shaving.  I’m not sure of anyone that I know that likes it.
 
Straight razors, anyone?  Where?
