Recursive Blood Donation Picture

Posted on | September 17, 2010 | 26 Comments

by Smitty

Is it excessively geeky to open up the blog on the netbook to last May’s blood donation post, and then have a picture taken of that, while donating again?
axis of fedora coughs up the blood
I mean, of course it’s geeky. The question here is whether it’s excessively so.
Again, I go for the apheresis machine, which limits me to approximately three visits a year.

    Is it coincidence you and Glenn Reynolds posted about giving blood within 24 hours?

    Joe: You didn’t receive the order from VRWC HQ?…oh, I forgot…oops, you weren’t supposed to kno…ah, er…forget I even spoke.

    BTW: This will probably reflect bad on me but: one of the few postive things about having had chemo is that no one can ever guilt you again in to giving blood.

    Excessively Geeky? Maybe.

    Excessively Gracious? Sure.

    Rock on, dude.

    Jeff Goldstein/Protein Wisdom posted this insider Democratic knife job of Barack Obama. Looks like the President is giving a little blood too:

    Such as this.

    And this.

    Did you give platelets with one arm only? That’s how it appears. When I give, they stick both arms and I am stuck for a long time with only the idiot box to entertain me.

    Smitty, that photo is not geeky. To be geeky, the computer would have to be controlling the blood donation. Or possibly receiving the blood as a transfusion.
