Looking for Radiation Therapy Help

I am considering a change of career to become a radiation therapist or similar medical technician. If you know about this field, I would be indebted to you if you’d let me speak to you about it.

AT&T U-Verse Signup Discount

Update 12-1-11: This program is permanently on hold as I don’t have AT&T residential service anymore.

If you are signing up for new AT&T services, I’ll split the referral fee I get with you via the Rewards for Referrals program!

AT&T will send you a gift card for $25 for each service you sign up for of  U-Verse TV, U-Verse high speed internet, or U-Verse voice! AT&T will send me a gift card too, because, well we’re friends!

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to this page to tell me your name and email address
  2. In a day or so AT&T will send you an email indicating that I nominated you for the referral program.
  3. Go ahead and sign up for the AT&T services you were going to sign up for
  4. Email me your new U-Verse account number. My email address is Lee at Lee daht org.

That’s it. In about 6 weeks AT&T will send both you and I a gift card for $25 for each service you signed up for… up to $75 if you sign up for all 3 U-Verse services!

You can find out all the details about the program at refer.att.com

Oh and if you sign up for regular AT&T high speed internet, or wireless, or DirectTV, or home telephone service, AT&T will give me $25… and I’ll split it with you… I’ll Paypal you $12.50.

Real Bread in 10 Minutes, Tuesday June 28th 2011 7pm-10pm

About the Class
Making bread is easier, faster and more flexible than you thought. You can make fantastic bread every day inexpensively with less than 10 minutes effort, including cleanup! In this class, you’ll learn techniques to minimize the ordinary and maximize the extraordinary parts of making all kinds of bread at home. We’ll talk about things like: instant yeast vs sourdough, refrigerated dough, crust, crumb, shaping, amendments, the chemistry and biology of bread, and the thousands of varieties of this staple food. Once you have the foundations, you’ll see bread recipes as suggestions instead of steps to be followed. The sky is the limit! While our bread bakes, we’ll make our own specialty butter! You will eat and bring home what we make in class.

Keeping Bread Real, in Just 10 Minutes!

Another successful Real Bread class. There are 4 more people in the world ready to go out and make some friggin bread!

And darn it, the home made specialty butters came out terrific! Cinnamon butter is surprisingly awesome.

This class came by way of WhatWillYouLearn.com which is gearing up to be something supremely cool.

My class sat between “Sequence Your Own DNA” and “Introduction to PCB Layout” on the calendar, which is pretty rad!

It's neat seeing "Lee's Kitchen" on the calendar next to all those other great spaces
