Singularity 2045 website launched, to increase awareness
The Technological Singularity will make the world a better, healthier, happier, and more enlightened place. I don't think I would be able to cope with the horror of life if the hope promised by the Singularity was non-existent.

Happy National Donate Life Month!
The month of April is significant for Americans in many different ways: holiday observances such as Easter, Passover; the dark and foreboding federal tax return, April showers, gardening, and beautiful weather.

Surgery is over
Back in November, after having interviewed several doctors regarding my condition, I decided to go with a robot assisted radical prostatectomy. The surgeon I choose has done more than 1,000 of these procedures and his outcomes seemed very good.

A very disturbing bit of news came to me this week. One of my two friends that has had a prostatectomy within the past month is clearly not out of the woods. A little background, he is 48 years old and is otherwise in great health.

Hello All,

My Sleep Disorders (Part 1)
I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea (http://www.sleepapnea.org/info/index.html) in April 2008. A polysomnogram (sleep study) showed that I struggled to breathe 150 times in 7 hours, which is an average of 20 times per hour.
Treatment
Stuck
Right now, I am stuck between diagnosis and treatment. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but the medication that I was put on isn't really doing the trick. I have a lot of trouble managing my emotions, and through some research, I believe that I may have bi-polar disorder.
Treatment

The Only One
Apparently I'm the only one on this site with my conditions. I was really hoping to talk to others with similar experiences, if for nothing more than to not feel so alone. This is just one more situation that leaves me feeling isolated.
