Pluribo reads Amazon product reviews so you don't have to
One of the great things about shopping on Amazon is that you can read through dozens, if not hundreds of user reviews. While expert and editorial reviews can give you a sense of whether an item is worth the sale price, user reviews will let you know whether you should expect it to fall apart the moment you unpack the box.But who has time to sift through hundreds of reviews when you just want someone to tell you whether you should buy this digital camera or that one?

This Firefox add-on will read through the user reviews in certain product categories and present (Read the full post about ‘Pluribo reads Amazon product reviews so you don’t have to’…)

Gestern Abend habe ich mir den SchГ¤del rasiert. SchluГџ mit den Haaren im Waschbecken. Wie schon mehrfach geschrieben, war heute die 15. Bestrahlung und damit die letzte Bestrahlung des SchГ¤dels. Ich fragte die Schwester was mit der Maske geschehen wГјrde. “Die kГ¶nnen Sie mit nach Hause nehmen!”, sagte sie scherzhaft. Genau das hatte mir auch die kleine Asiatin gesagt als sie die Maske anfertigte; also habe ich die Maske mit nach Hause genommen. Was ich damit anstelle? Ich weiГџ es nicht, vielleicht benutze ich sie um die beiden kleinen Nachbarjungs zu erschrecken, die immer (Read the full post about ‘Donnerstag, 19. Juni 12.10 Uhr, 15. Bestrahlung’…)

Wie beim letzten Mal auch, empfГ¤ngt mich wieder die kleine Asiatin. Ich muss den OberkГ¶rper frei machen und mich auf die Liege des MeГџtisches legen. Hier bekam ich beim letzten Besuch die Markierungen auf die Haut gemalt und die Maske wurde hier angefertigt. Eine Art RГ¶ntgengerГ¤t fГ¤hrt zuerst um meinen OberkГ¶rper im Bereich der Lunge, dabei zeichnet die Г„rztin weitere Markierung auf meine Haut. Dann wird mir die Mske aufgesetzt und festgespannt. Auf die Maske wird seitlich Pflaster geklebt, auf die spГ¤ter Markierungen gezeichnet werden, erklГ¤rte mir die (Read the full post about ‘Mittwoch, 28.05.2008, 10.30 Uhr Simulation’…)
