Gout is a form of arthritis that happens when your kidneys don’t do a good enough job getting the urea out of your blood and the stuff starts to crystalize in a joint. That triggers a cascading reaction as swelling brings more blood and urea.

I’m going to be at RSA in San Francisco next week, doing a panel on (wait for it….) “Internet firewalls.” As always, I am going to make sure I go to Yank Sing for some face stuffery – anyone want to join me?
