Invisalign
Yes, I’m getting braces. It’s not obvious I need braces as my top teeth are pretty good and when I smile that’s all you see. What you don’t know is that my bottom teeth hurt. Like every junior high kid who got their braces off, I was terrible at remembering to wear my retainer, and over time of course, my teeth shifted….to the point where my lower teeth crowd the very middle tooth.

Windows Phone 8 ships! We finally RTM’d and had our ship party at work which involved derby car races, Sir Mix-a-lot and a last minute flash mob to Gangnam Style (Natalie’s FAVORITE song right now) organized by yours truly.
