In a continuing effort to remind me of my own mortality, nature has begun to screw with my eyesight. Staring at a computer screen or reading for long periods of time has become a positive irritation. Because I'm cheap and in denial, I picked up a pair of $10 reading glasses at the local pharmacy. While ill-fitting and ugly, these glasses do seem to help somewhat. So at some point, I'm just going to have to suck it up and get fitted for a pair of Real Glasses (™).
Damn you, second law of thermodynamics!
Luckily, my dialed-in vision accidentally worked out to be 0 in the left eye, and about 3/4 diopter nearsighted on the right eye... so in essence, I have a built-in bifocal correction, as long as I don't need to see stereo. That'll cheat the system for probably an additional five years.

I saw a picture of him recently on a beach...he is not Conan!
