In honor of the King’s death a little anecdote. Back in 1998 hooked up with Elvis fan Amy Thacker when in Memphis for the BBC to cover the 30th anniversary of MLK’s death.

It occurs to me that a Digg/Stumbleupon for radiologists could work in the near future, allowing professionals to bookmark and share their favourite stories, images etc. Watch this space.
