I was on a series of conference calls all day yesterday. That’s not unusual for me these days. I have at least nine pre-scheduled conference calls each week. This seems to be routine for companies who have employees all over the United States.

I like most of the calls because you learn pertinent information all the time. The frustrating part of most calls is waiting for all the participants to hop on. I started to pass the time lately by asking those who were holding with me if they read anything lately that was interesting.

One guy yesterday blew my mind when he told us all that the needle may be replaced by a pill. That would be so cool for the many people I know who are afraid to get poked. Researchers at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital are working on an oral alternative to an injection. The solution involves having tiny needles on the pill’s surface injecting drugs directly into the lining of the stomach.
