I actually used my last page in the notebook at the end of the year. So I’m starting 2024 with a fresh new notebook.

While I have no desire to disturb the somewhat peaceful nature of Acadia National Park, I’m bummed I won’t be able to fly drones in any national park. Not exactly a crime against humanity. But the video and photography from a drone’s perspective could be stunning. I guess we will never know. Unless the national parks […]

The drones are falling! The drones are falling!

by Carl Natale on June 24, 2014

The Washington Post has a very impressive report that covers drone crashes and near misses with aircraft in the United States.

Sarah Kliff rounds up the ICD-10 coding controversy in a way that really bugs me in The Washington Post blog. She cites parrot injuries to demonstrate why ICD-10 codes create so much controversy. If you read my work at ICD10Watch.com, you will learn why it’s not my favorite tact. But Kliff deserves credit for quoting […]
