Thanks for your notes, and here are some public replies.\nLost Day in China TD, When I say I went the wrong direction, it is that — not as far as I walked this day — in a different direction is the Zhong Guan Cun Shopping District. KFC and Cold Stone Creamery would have agreed with me on the Lost Day, but instead I went the other way, and found nothing very interesting.\nShort Update in China TD, The tea was probably oolong, but I haven’t had it again to ask someone to confirm. Considering how simple tea is, it can really have a lot of flavors.\nI thought I would mention though that Japanese restaurants are not actually so rare. I’ve seen two (which also means I was able to recognize them as Japanese). This is a fairly large metropolitan area, and even though I can’t read much (about 10 to 15 percent of public signs and product labels have English translations – only about 5% of business signs). That’s not to say that all of the locals “like itâ€, there is no shortage of Mazdas on the roads either.\nBig Night in China TD, No, I’ve seen no traffic accidents. “The Other American†did - but only the aftermath. A mangled bicycle, a dented taxi and broken glass.\nTD \u0026 DH: After about a week you realize that along with the insanity of breaking all the rules, everybody in cars move with a determined sense of caution, which often makes traffic ooze instead of move. The merge thing is part of that ooze. Those whom are a little less cautious will simply get around those who are a little more cautious.\nCrossing streets - especially large streets - the dynamic changes with crowds. The crossing is simply done in the form of safety by numbers. Where the lead - least cautious - walkers take the risk and lead the way for the rest of the group. Crossing a street alone is pretty much what I described though.\nDH: I think HongKong tracks more closely to Brittan - as they were the law of the land until fairly recently. Audio crossing is definitely a downtown London sound.\nUD: Hey, everyone… It’s my Uncle! … I’m still working out how to get some photos in the blog, there are lots of sites that can help don’t exactly agree with me from here (either intermittent or non-existent).\n","wordCount":"479","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-20T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-20T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/a-note-to-my-readers...from-china/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

One from Japan the other from Singapore.

Here, merging and even changing lanes is an art of war. It seems to be the responsibility of the least overtly aggressive driver to get out of the way… back to merging though. Imagine that merge lane, where it is simply considered by everyone the preferred place to be. Go to the front, merge aggressively, and everyone else will wait. Except, someone has just swung around the far side of the person who is doing the aggressive merge - so now the lane is two cars wide (and the bicycle lane is mostly gone). Then what really caught me off guard, is when a full size bus came all the way around - driving partly on grass to make that merge lane three deep, and cut in front of everybody.\nA side effect of this merge process is that the bicycles - which there are actually fewer bikes than cars, but there are still many bicycles - have no where to go, so they simply start weaving through the traffic randomly.\nAnd crossing the street is a game of timing and nerves. If you can’t cross the street before the cars will get to you, judge the aggressiveness of the driver against the aggressiveness of the car that’s already coming at you from the other lane. Step in front of the less aggressive car, and they will slow down. Imagine this in an intersection where there are 30 people crossing the street this way, often deciding on different “less agressive†and with little regard to crossing lights. Conclusion… traffic sucks.\nShopping Went to Wal-Mart. Three levels, and only the top level looked like anything resembling a Wal-Mart in the states. Grocery in the basement, clothes and electronics on the top level, other stuff and checkouts on the main level.\nFood Afterwards, dinner across the street from the Wal-Mart. The waitress offered to take our bags, and then jokes that she would take them home. I totally got it from the body language alone. Dinner over here with other people means that many dishes are ordered, and everybody eats a little of everything. This works out especially well if you don’t like something particular. There was this sweet and sour sparerib dish that looked really good in the picture, and was mostly a pile of bones on the plate. Otherwise there were two potato dishes, and a green vegetable (hard to say what it was - but it was green, and fully cooked, so I ate it).\n","wordCount":"500","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-18T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-18T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/big-night/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Even the low carb options that are not really bread at all would be much appreciated in this place of rice and noodles.\nWait though, it’s not that bread doesn’t exist. There’s a lot of bread here. I just don’t recognize most of it. Bread here is usually sweet. I tried some Bimbo bread (Bimbo is based in South America)… I figured South Americans wouldn’t screw with bread. Sweet, almost a smell of sugar. Just doesn’t work with a ham sandwich, cheese and mayo.\nFinally, I found a type of bread called “Morning Breakfast†that’s the closest thing to “bread†as I know it - a pretty standard white bread. It comes in mini packages of 6 slices for as much as twice that much of most other kinds. I pay the premium.\nKFC MWM, It’s pretty much the same. Colonel Harland Sanders secret recipe was not screwed with. However, I’ve not delved beyond the original recipe sandwiches. There’s lots on the menu that I don’t recognize, but I didn’t go to KFC because I was feeling adventurous. It was wholly a need for something familiar. Haven’t been to Cold Stone, DQ or Haagen Dazs yet.\nChinese Food I can be quoted as saying, “a billion people can’t be wrong,†when people asked me how I would handle the food over here. Turns out that a lot of the billion go to Thai and Korean restaurants. Ultimately, there’s a lot of “normal†food here that is sometimes difficult to stomach because of what it is (not how it tastes), like pork blood noodles (usually served with mostly wheat noodles, but present for flavor). There’s another set of food that’s hard to take because the tastes are just hard to deal with, I blogged about some of these in “Adventures with Hairy Crab in Chinaâ€. I had a street vendor flat bread, with Sesame seeds on it. It had the taste of eggs, and was warm - 1 yuan for a decent sized piece. I’m betting that the locals can pay even less for it, but I’m not about to attempt to bargain at my skill level not for something so inexpensive. I’ve had great Thai, Japanese and Korean BBQ here. I had some “O.K.†Chinese food, but as they say… nothing to write home about.\n","wordCount":"421","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-29T14:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-29T14:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/food-impressions/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Singapore girl (whom was part of Thursday’s dinner) heard that Hairy Crab was in season and that this particular restaurant had it. A quick search on the internet wasn’t very promising, but I promised myself I’d keep an open mind. So, off we went in two cabs (there’s a four person limit per cab, and we were a party of 5). Only two in the party know enough Mandarin to talk to people, so I rode with Singapore Girl - who has the stronger skills.\nSG and Chinese London Girl (CLG) ordered stuff for the group. The Other American (OA) and London Dude (LD) were also there. The food started to arrive.\nThere was this sliced beef with onion and green peppers - which SG and CLG ordered for us non-Asians (neither of them eat cows).\nFried chicken bones, which was basically joints and cartilage deep fried with cashews. I tried one, and wasn’t able to take the cartilage part, so I spit that out. It tasted like Fried Chicken should - it just didn’t have any muscle.\nThere was this chicken broth and mushroom soup. The mushrooms were not a type that I recognized, and were decidedly tough and stringy.\nChicken dumplings. Like chicken pot pie back home, except the “crust†is similar to a large soup wanton noodle instead. Mmmm.\nPapaya, Ginger and Fish. The Papaya was whole, but also formed a sauce with chunks of ginger and rings of fish fat (that is to say, it’s the fat layer off of a fish - under the skin and above the meat. I tried this too, and didn’t really like it. Papaya is very strong, but I liked the ginger bit.\nHairy crab. Well, that’s what the menu said, but SG was immediately convinced that it wasn’t really hairy crab at all. She went through it looking for something to eat and really couldn’t find anything. Myself, I ate a few tiny skinny legs worth of meat, but couldn’t find anything substantial either.\nAt this point, OA and LD were both thinking that I’m just crazy for listening to these Asian folks at all. Dessert came and there were custard pies (which LD really liked) and durian puffs. Whether or not anybody would eat it became a joke. CLG took a video of me trying while quietly laughing. .. At the table they suggested that another name for it was Jack Fruit, but it turns out (thanks Google) that it’s definitely durian. It wouldn’t take long to get used to, but I really wasn’t in the mood with a camera in my face.\nReally - nobody really liked any of the food (which wasn’t cheap by local standards). It was approx $30 each. The service was good, and the presentation was great, but as SG said, “It’s not Szechuanâ€.\nCleaning the Palette Afterwards OA went back to the hotel, and the remaining four of us went to a bar for a few drinks. It took a while to find a bar that wasn’t a restaurant or a “clubâ€. Finally we did, and I had a Heineken or two. We got back here just before 10PM.\n","wordCount":"556","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-20T14:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-20T14:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/friday-night-out/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

After snack, I tried to snooze a little, and then more in flight movie problems made everyone restless.</p><p>I slept for about 15 minutes. Pure exhaustion.</p><p>Meal two (also lunch). Choices this time was a Turkey and Cheese on a Pretzel roll, or some sort of Chicken and Noodle thing. I got my choice, and … the Turkey and Pretzel roll were fine, but the Cheese was really greasy making the whole meal hard to stomach.</p><p>I slept another 5 minutes - I think - then the descent starts.</p></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/in-china/>in-china</a></li><li><a

So, I close the hotel curtains all the way. If I strain, I can still sense the strobe, but with the curtains drawn and my eyelids closed, it doesn’t exist. Zzzz…\nWoke up a little panicked … it must be full daylight outside. It feels so “lateâ€. I draw the curtains a little… Of course not. 5:10AM is quite an improvement over yesterday, maybe I’ll be able to face this work thing. Head down for the Hotel’s breakfast. No hard boiled eggs today, but they have sliced cold peppered beef and sautéed vegetables. Interesting. That and more steamed buns, and add a bowl of corn flake cereal. I poured a glass of some sort of juice… turned out to be peach.\nHead back up to the room to grab the computer and my camera, and back to the lobby. That other guy shows up two minutes later, and someone else from the office comes too. We all share a taxi to the office. The day is very clear. Not at all as smoggy as it was when the jet landed. Blue skies, and lots to see. I take pictures of lots of things, but the most interesting things I see - I end up with photos of large buses.\nI catch a glimpse of the Summer Palace, and a huge, official looking building with a rocket in front of it (Saturn V size maybe). Got a picture of the tip of that rocket. Get off this big road on an exit marked ‘Converge Wild Land’. A few kilometers later, and we pass horses in the street. The homes and store-fronts are decidedly run down, and I start to wonder if we could really be going to the high tech software seat of China.\nZhongGuanCun Software Park, Beijing We drive through a guarded gate, and there’s two buildings that have something that could only be described as a flying saucer propped up over the gap between them. Those and most other buildings in the immediate area are under construction. Work is not far past here.\nWay to make a first impression… I arrive and there’s about an hour before the “visit kickoff†meeting. I start setting up my computer, pull out a power strip, and plug in my laptop. Hmm, the laptop isn’t seeing power. I thought I was being smart by bringing along a power strip so that I could use multiple electronics (all of which are auto-switching voltage items, laptop, phone charger, etc). Turns out the power strip itself couldn’t deal with the voltage, and fried - blowing the circuit breaker. I didn’t realize that was what happened, until the power was back on, and I plugged the powerstrip in again. The facilities guy, who didn’t speak any English, came over grabbed the power strip and read the back, shaking his head and saying many, many soft words to my host.\nI knew he was scolding my stupidity. I apologized to my host.\nThe kick off meeting turns out to be a meeting in which I am supposed to be the leader. The person who called the meeting, my host, immediately became my center of attention as I get him to tell me what my agenda is (as he called the meeting, and my laptop never really got running). So, I write all of this down on a giant white board, and start going through the Agenda points one by one. Overall, I think I did pretty well considering I didn’t know what to expect.\nHaidan District Trip home it was dark, so I didn’t really see anything that I’d recognize. Lots of lights on buildings, some pretty cool. Went to dinner with the other American. Opposite direction from the way I had walked previously, and a few blocks away there’s this “City Mall†– clearly labeled in English. We went to this place called Pastarito. I used my first Mandarin words to a non-English speaker here. I ordered Lasagne (by asking for number 28). A small proud moment.\nAfterwards we found the grocery / super store (and attached Mall). I bought some more Coke Light, and the other guy bought Peanut Butter and bread. I will probably return soon to do a full grocery run.\n","wordCount":"760","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/reporting-for-duty/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.\nThe man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, 'I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?'\n'My wife's.'\n'What happened to her?'\nThe man replied, 'My dog attacked and killed her.'\nHe inquired further, 'But who is in the second hearse?'\nThe man answered, 'My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.'\nA poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two men.\n'Can I borrow the dog?'\nThe man replied, 'Get in line.' It's just a joke, I thought it was funny.

I felt safer in every part of Beijing than I do in downtown Minneapolis. The news outlets don't really say that enough while sharing this bit of news. Actual physical attacks on foreigners are very unusual in Beijing. Like any large city, crimes of opportunity are common, but confrontational attacks against foreigners are incredibly rare.\nTodd Bachman, his wife Barbara, and their Chinese guide -- who's name has not been reported, as far as I can find -- were attacked and stabbed at the historic Beijing Drum Tower on 9 Aug, 2008 at 12:20 pm Beijing time. Todd Bachman died of his injuries. Barbara Bachman underwent emergency surgery, and is said to be in serious, but stable, condition.\nTo most of the world, as the China Daily reports, he was an American tourist, and family member to a US Olympic coach.\nTo the rest of the country, as reported by the New York Times, Todd was the Father-in-law to current Olympic US Men's Volleyball team coach, Hugh McCutcheon. Or, as the LA Times reports, the father of Elisabeth \"Wiz\" Bachman, former Olympic Women's Volleyball player for the 2004 US team at the Athens Olympics.\nOf all the stories though, I prefer the one about the man, and not about who he is related to.\nAs many of you know, I live in Minnesota. Todd and Barbara Bachman also live here. Where I live, the local paper, the Star Tribune, reports that Todd Bachman is the CEO of a local and successful chain of Florist and gardening stores, called \"Bachman's\". By successful, I mean that that the business has survived for more than 120 years. As a point of perspective, I mention that this year marks the 150th year of Minnesota statehood. There wasn't much of a Minneapolis 120 years ago when they opened.\nExtensive reporting on the assailant is available, his name, work-history, where he was born, and who his family is. He jumped from the Drum Tower's second level (where the attack occurred), and died instantly upon impacting the ground.\nHowever, it bothers me that we know nothing at all about the third victim of this crime. Even in the China Daily report, she is known only as \"a Chinese tour guide\". I only hope her injuries are less severe than the other two, and that reporting on her is unimportant because she is now starting a new day of being a tour guide. I hope this, especially considering the injuries to the other victims. The only indication of her well-being, from China Daily, \" The two injured women are in stable condition at a hospital, \" does not suggest she is back at work today.\nTodd and Barbara's daughter, who was present, but not injured, has even been reported on. As a former Olympiad, I suppose that's natural, but that only makes me more bothered at the fact that nobody reports any details about the tour guide. She is also a victim of this tragic crime.

I felt safer in every part of Beijing than I do in downtown Minneapolis. The news outlets don't really say that enough while sharing this bit of news. Actual physical attacks on foreigners are very unusual in Beijing. Like any large city, crimes of opportunity are common, but confrontational attacks against foreigners are incredibly rare.<br><br>Todd Bachman, his wife Barbara, and their Chinese guide -- who's name has not been reported, as far as I can find -- were attacked and stabbed at the historic Beijing Drum Tower on 9 Aug, 2008 at 12:20 pm Beijing time. Todd Bachman died of his injuries. Barbara Bachman underwent emergency surgery, and is said to be in serious, but stable, condition.<br><br>To most of the world, as the China Daily <a href=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2008-08/09/content_6920351.htm>reports</a>, he was an American tourist, and family member to a US Olympic coach.<br><br>To the rest of the country, as <a href=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/sports/olympics/10beijing.htm>reported</a> by the New York Times, Todd was the Father-in-law to current Olympic US Men's Volleyball team coach, Hugh McCutcheon. Or, as the LA Times <a href=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/bruin/2008/08/ucla-dad-killed.html>reports</a>, the father of Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman, former Olympic Women's Volleyball player for the 2004 US team at the Athens Olympics.<br><br>Of all the stories though, I prefer the one about the man, and not about who he is related to.<br><br>As many of you know, I live in Minnesota. Todd and Barbara Bachman also live here. Where I live, the local paper, the Star Tribune, <a href=http://www.startribune.com/sports/olympics/26470189.html>reports</a> that Todd Bachman is the CEO of a local and successful chain of Florist and gardening stores, called "Bachman's". By successful, I mean that that the business has survived for more than 120 years. As a point of perspective, I mention that this year marks the 150th year of Minnesota statehood. There wasn't much of a Minneapolis 120 years ago when they opened.<br><br>Extensive reporting on the assailant is available, his name, work-history, where he was born, and who his family is. He jumped from the Drum Tower's second level (where the attack occurred), and died instantly upon impacting the ground.<br><br>However, it bothers me that we know nothing at all about the third victim of this crime. Even in the China Daily report, she is known only as "a Chinese tour guide". I only hope her injuries are less severe than the other two, and that reporting on her is unimportant because she is now starting a new day of being a tour guide. I hope this, especially considering the injuries to the other victims. The only indication of her well-being, from China Daily, "

I arrived at the Bloomington, IL airport on the morning of September 10th, and was asked to visit the headquarters in East Peoria on September 11th. To save the customer money, another consultant agreed to lend me his pickup truck for the drive to East Peoria (on the other end of the state).\nI left the hotel after 7 AM Central time, and was heading south on I-55, then West on I-74 towards East Peoria.\nAbout 8:20 Central, I get a phone call from Minnesota. My wife was telling me that I had to get to a television set, and that a plane has struck the world trade center, and it's terrible. While she is talking, she stops mid-sentence, and then says it's an attack. Both buildings have been hit. If you look at the time-lines, both buildings had already been hit, but she didn't know it until that moment.\nPicture this, me driving North-West along this stretch of corn-fields towards East Peoria.\nI'm trying to explain that there's nowhere to pull off, there's nothing to do. Eventually she hangs up, and I find a Radio Station that is reporting the news.\nThen the radio reports that the Pentagon was hit. She calls back. She again tells me that there MUST be some place where I can stop and watch a television. I'm not about to go knocking on a farmhouse door. Especially on a day when everyone is thinking of terrorists.\nA little after 9:00 AM, Central time, I finally find myself in East Peoria. I park the truck in a parking ramp near the Caterpillar headquarters, and I walk towards the building.\nThe first thing that came through my mind is, how would a security director convince the company president that the security guards need to have Uzi sub-machine guns available. I can't imagine they went to the gun-shop and picked them up in the hour since the news had been heard, and there's no way Caterpillar is important or controversial enough to have armed guards standing outside all the time.\nI cautiously walked past them towards the door, expecting that maybe I'll be challenged. I was carrying a laptop case, after-all. Then I walked in, signed in, and went up to the floor where my contact was waiting. I caught a few minutes of video of the destruction in NYC on a TV that had been set up in a break-room nearby. I spent most of the rest of the day, working on the customer's software concerns. The last 45 minutes I was there, I caught some more of the news coverage, and then I drove back to Pontiac.\nMy assignment in Pontiac was through the end of the week, and I had a ticket for Saturday the 15th. This happened to be the first flight out of Bloomington airport, and I've never seen such a small airport so crowded with people waiting for re-booking opportunities. I actually felt bad that the events on this day had not inconvenienced me, as if by not having been directly impacted by the events, maybe I was cheating.

I have always been fond of the view of the lake-shore and the vastness of the lake that can be seen from there. From Oct 4-Superior \nWe hung out along the rocky shore, ate lunch in Two Harbors at the Black Woods Bar \u0026 Grill, then we drove back into Duluth.\nI took skyline drive from the north, along 7 bridge road. We stopped for a few minutes at the seventh bridge to take photos of Amity Creek and the surroundings. We stopped for a few minutes at hawk ridge. Then we went to Enger Tower. \nAfter an hour at Enger tower, we headed to Canal Park to walk around, and get a closer look at the bridge. \nHave fun looking around the photos I took on Saturday.

So, here are the questions with my answers:<br><br><ol><li>Wrapping paper or gift bags?<ul><br><li>Wrapping paper (or Sunday Comics)</li></ul></li><br><li>Real tree or Artificial?<ul><br><li>Artificial (by order of the Fire Marshall)</li></ul></li><br><li>When do you put up the tree?<ul><br><li>Probably next year, not this year.</li></ul></li><br><li>When do you take the tree down?<ul><br><li>After I put one up!</li></ul></li><br><li>Do you like eggnog?<ul><br><li>Yes, but I like it thicker than most places sell it.</li></ul></li><br><li>Favorite gift received as a child?<ul><br><li>Wow... so many to choose from.</li></ul></li><br><li>Hardest person to buy for?<ul><br><li>Mom</li></ul></li><br><li>Easiest person to buy for?<ul><br><li>Mom</li></ul></li><br><li>Do you have a nativity scene?<ul><br><li>No</li></ul></li><br><li>Mail or email Christmas cards?<ul><br><li>Wait, e-mail is a valid option?!</li></ul></li><br><li>Worst Christmas gift you ever received?<ul><br><li>I actually can't think of a bad gift I've received.</li></ul></li><br><li>Favorite Christmas Movie?<ul><br><li>A Nightmare Before Christmas</li></ul></li><br><li>When do you start shopping for Christmas?<ul><br><li>Soon (the procrastinator's answer)</li></ul></li><br><li>Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?<ul><br><li>Not yet</li></ul></li><br><li>Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?<ul><br><li>I can't think of anything I like that is only available at Christmas these days.</li></ul></li><br><li>Lights on the tree?<ul><br><li>Yes, the smaller, the better.</li></ul></li><br><li>Favorite Christmas song?<ul><br><li>Christmas at Ground Zero or<br>I Believe in Father Christmas</li></ul></li><br><li>Travel at Christmas or stay home?<ul><br><li>Travel, if possible.</li></ul></li><br><li>Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's?<ul><br><li>I get stuck, is it Donner or Donder?</li></ul></li><br><li>Angel on the tree top or a star?<ul><br><li>Either is fine</li></ul></li><br><li>Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?<ul><br><li>Morning.</li></ul></li><br><li>Most annoying thing about this time of the year?<ul><br><li>Repeating Christmas music everywhere</li></ul></li><br><li>Favorite ornament theme or color?<ul><br><li>Anybody else's theme.</li></ul></li><br><li>What do you want for Christmas this year?<ul><br><li>Just the things I need.</li></ul></li><br><li>Favorite for Christmas dinner?<ul><br><li>Something simple.</li></ul></li><br></ol><br><br>MERRY CHRISTMAS!</div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/e-mail/>e-mail</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/web/>web</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2008/12/revisit-attack-and-muder-at-the-drum-tower-updated/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Revisit: 'Attack and Muder at the Drum Tower' [Updated]</span></a>

Here is a copy of that comment:\n \"I am a Canadian who was in Beijing and had worked with the guide who was injured in the attack. I am happy to report that she is OK, and getting married very soon. While she underwent surgery shortly thereafter, she has recovered well from her wounds. Her brother is a doctor, and I can attest to the fact that she received excellent care, as I visited her in the hospital on two occasions. While I know she still experiences physical pain, this young Chinese girl has an indomitable spirit, and I am certain she will make a full psychological recovery. I too was frustrated that for 2 days while in Beijing I could find no information on her status. I feared she may have died, and hardly a day goes by that I don't think of the courage of my Chinese friend. Her name was Olivia.\" By this, I understand that her chosen \"English\" name is Olivia and that she is fine. I do so hope this to be true. It bothers me still that there has been zero coverage of her story.\nIn any case, I thought this was significant enough to post.\nUpdate: The comment came from Heath Sterling, who contacted me separately through another site. Now that the comment is no longer \"Anonymous\" to that level ... I have a much higher confidence that it's true. :-) ","wordCount":"305","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2008-12-08T11:19:00-05:00","dateModified":"2010-09-07T18:30:12.402-04:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2008/12/revisit-attack-and-muder-at-the-drum-tower-updated/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

As a programming platform CHAIR is already proven to lead to greatly reduced project timelines when compared to similar projects done without the CHAIR Platform.\nBenefits The CHAIR Programming Platform is an efficiency producing integration tool with countless uses, but here are a few examples-from the floor; surface computing, table integration, workstation interfacing, includes a simple counter interface capability. Chair 3.0 includes the new roll-out feature, which assists programmers in efficiently interfacing a with multiple related tables, especially useful in L.A.B. or Cubical programming environments.\nSupport CHAIR Programming Platform is supported by a wide array of service providers throughout the world, including; Suelo throughout most of South America, étage in France, Piano in Italy, Põrand for North East European platforms, based in tech savvy Estonia. We offer support through central Eurasia by пол based in Russia. In Asia we also have support by the popular Pharsha (फरà¥à¤¶) Corporation of India, and even the popular Chinese platform provider åœ°æ¿ ( dì bÇŽn ). However, it is primarily supported throughout UK, Australia, US and Canada (though, étage support is also availble in Canada) by Floor.

However, even worse than the phonograph player, or the speakers, it's just broken stuff that will always be broken. It's time to do something about it.

A photo-realistic image of a little girl grabbing a ball, that is stretched long and flat to give the optical illusion that she is real, when viewed from a distance. (Image from CTV, after the break.)\nThis particular experiment has been installed near a primary school, and only be in place for a week, and there are special signs and extra patrols in the area during this period. Yet, the very idea of putting something like this in place, and effectively desensitizing drivers along that road to the sight of a child picking up a ball in the road, deeply annoys me. It would seem that if there's even a chance that someone might teach themselves to ignore what they see, that that this is a bad idea.\nIn reality, after the week long installation, the observations of driver behavior over this week, it seems, could be used to determine if they are going to start installing images like this in more places.\nThis is the image that they installed.

I would have ruined my shoes already if I hadn't been wearing the covers.\nTook some pictures of some pigs near the hotel. I don't think any of them came out though. There's barbed wire, but the pigs walk in and out of the fence as if it weren't there. They live in what looks like a garbage pile to me, but it must be a farm, given the barbed wire fence, and that there isn't anything for quite a way behind the fence.\nI'm having a hard time getting my bearings, and I'm still pretty tired from the flights it took to get here. I walked right, out of the hotel, and left down the next road, and the pigs are basically right there. It was maybe a 5 minute walk to get there if it weren't raining. I think I was out for about 30 minutes total. During that time, three different guys in autocabs came asking me if I needed a ride. Each of them suggesting destinations when I said no, I need to find the trick to get rid of these guys quicker. Can't a foreigner just want to take a walk? O.K., no, it's not actually that bad, just by the third guy in 7 minutes, each of them just as sure that I really do want a ride.\nAnyway, I found a TV channel showing some US shows, so... I guess I'll watch more of that. The commercials here are interesting though.

Traffic signal lights are suggestions, that you follow only so far as someone in the other direction is tired of waiting for a green and is willing to put the front of their vehicle in front of your movement. Driving here is on the left side of the road, but this is based on the steering wheel being on the right side of the car. Seems this is basically followed, except by: Bicycles Mopeds Motorbikes Autorickshaws Cars that are small enough that they can \"probably\" not cause too much of a tie-up by going in the wrong direction ...Even on a divided highway. ...It still causes major tie-ups. Pedistrians cross the street in designated crosswalks and in non-designated cross-walks and in front of on-coming traffic and where-ever pedestrians can walk. Notably, it's very rare for a pedestrian to cross by climbing one of the high fences on some divided roads to keep people from crossing. No, instead, the pedestrian will walk along the center for some time from the last designated cross-walk so they can walk out into on-coming traffic. Pedestrians walk on the right side, left side or between ever-shifting lanes. But, most important, is traffic communication protocols. Most commercial vehicles have, on the back (instead of How am I driving, Call xxx) the words, \"Horn OK\". That sets the tone for this. Some of these rules I have confirmed as actual suggested traffic training, others, I'm merely guessing: There is no traffic control suggestion, and you are coming to a cross-road. Honk to warn that you are crossing. It appears there's little difference between a main road in a cross-road, so people on either side will honk. See also traffic signal lights being suggestions ... so people honk at those too. If you are about to overtake (pass another vehicle), honk so they know to watch for you. If you are coming upon a vehicle who has chosen a lane that is not aligned to the vehicles directly next to them, honk to suggest that they re-evaluate their lane position. If you come upon one of the pedestrians, also honk, even if they see you, and are getting out of the way. Stray dog crossing the road, yes, honk. There are more stray dogs here, than anywhere else I've been. Stray cows though, don't honk. They just panic and freeze like a deer in headlights, so just go around, and hope they move on. The result, however, is that no matter where you are in the city, the background sound is merely a symphony of horns. After five days, I'm still hearing it. It's not like the rumble of an A/C, horns are built to be irritating on purpose. It does seem though, that after years of exposure, Indians themselves no longer notice the horns. ...Even while driving.

Do not post or comment if it will get you in trouble with your significant other; Offending others is OK, if you are really prepared for the backlash. Block people you know who do not like you, before they blast your wall. If you have to become a fan of something before you can see it, it is ALWAYS an advertisement...(or worse, a virus). Personal drama problems \n You are angry now, but do you want your friends to know you are angry now, when they read the update tomorrow, or next week? Will you still be the same angry? Check EVERYONE on your friends list, do you want those work buddies asking about this? Also, if someone ELSE tries to get you to engage in personal drama over Facebook, use anything BUT Facebook to engage them back; visits, phones and e-mails are all better ideas. Ambiguous post Here's an example: \"Oh my, I'm so excited about what just happened\" So now the first sucker has to say \"What just happened?\" Just add the next sentence. It's OK if you add the rest as the first comment, just don't leave your friends hanging. Such a waste of their time. Privacy Features Facebook has a lot of privacy settings. They change every three months or so. Learn what they mean, and learn to use them. Most likely, you do NOT want everybody who knows your name to be able to see every update you've made. Setting all share defaults to \"friends only\" is pretty reasonable. Take extra care to check what you are sharing with Facebook's advertising engine. If you let it, it will use your friend's Facebook pictures to try to sell you products. As importantly, it will try to use your picture to try to sell products to others. Also keep in mind that even though the settings are there, and they work today, always expect that at any moment everything you ever say might accidentally end up on some search engine because someone with access left a door open. Don't Anger Your Significant Other This should be obvious. It is OK to piss people off, if you are willing to deal with their real-world emotional response. However, it is never a good idea to piss off your significant other, or by extension, anybody you live with. These are the people who can find you in your sleep. Also, they are most likely to make your thoughtless post a \"Personal Drama Problem\". If they do, try not to get into it. \n Block Enemies Before they Drama on You Your friend and you just had a really nasty disagreement, and you are not going to patch it up. Block them quickly. The last thing you need is some frenemy posting their new \"Personal Drama Problem\" on your wall. Know What You Are Clicking \"Like\" On Your oldest most trusted friend writes on your wall, \"This video of a helpless baby seal being beaten with a club made me cry, check this link.\" So you click the link and are presented with a page that says, to see the video, first click \"Like\" (or \"Enable this App\", or \"Become a Fan\"). As soon as you click OK, guess what automatically gets posted to every one of your friend's walls in your name? If you guessed, \"This video of a helpless baby seal being beaten with a club made me cry, check this link,\" you are ahead of the game. You haven't seen it yet, but you just told all of your friends it made you cry. How sweet. Of course, the video may or may not be of a baby seal at all, and is very likely to be an ad for \"H3rbell V146R4\".

I have some developers reporting to me. So let me say this; Regulated, Regimented development. That's what I try to use most of the time. Yes, really. It is extremely important to start a project with good specifications. First, this means that I have had several conversations with my customers about what they are expecting to get out of the project, and how they expect to interact with it before anybody starts coding.\nRequirements specifications make their way to Functional specifications. This is where I admit that these are often done incorrectly, but they are still done. Let me explain that. The requirements are the high level things that management wants to accomplish. The functional specs are supposed to be the things that define how the customer will interface with the product to meet the requirements. However, more often, most of the interface decisions are stuffed into Requirements leaving the functional specification to double as a technical roadmap to how the project will be completed.\nAs long as all of the necessary information is there, it doesn't really bother me.\nNo Accounting for Expectations\nOne thing that all of these requirements do not get me is a customer that actually understands the full implications of what they are asking for. Further, it doesn't give me the forsight to understand that something that the customer legitimately asked for and agreed that they wanted, is actually the opposite of what they need after they see what they are about to get.\nThis point is why I need the documents. This part is why that top down approach is really, really important.\nNo, not to shove it down the user's throat, but to clearly be able to go to the project management team and say, this project is under threat. What the customer needs is NOT reflected in this documentation, and I need to go through some development iterations quickly with the customer until I can really figure out what they want. I use the documenation, plus the frustration of the customer to switch to collaborative development iterations.\n1) Here's the almost finished development that does what you asked for.\n2) Customer realizes that prototype needs something different.\n3) Remind customer where they asked for what they got, get specific reasoning for the change. Does it save time? What goes wrong if we leave it as is?\n4) Go back to project management, explain the problem and the reasons for the problem.\n5) Work with the customer to fix it BEFORE it's a service issue later.\nFor the customer, the trade off is often that they lose features that were originally asked for if the timelines cannot be extended. As long as project management and the customer understand this up-front, then things go pretty well.\nI recently led two separate projects that went through agile-collaborative cycles come to a close. The one that started with the most documentation has the happiest result. The one that started with almost no documentation is still a bit of a monster that is difficult to add new features to.\nThe worse of these was for an editor to help quickly add new data into a system. To start agile at the very beginning of a project in this case caused the completion date to slip by almost a year, and we lost the lead developer during (and likely because of) the project. The length of the project slip was partly due to that developer leaving, but I also know it has a lot to do with the fact that it was an agile project from it's inception. The customers lost track of the primary goals of the system, and around month two changed out it's primary goal. By it's end, a project which was supposed to help users quickly enter new data into the system was released as something that couldn't add new data, but only edit old data records. That's what the customer wanted, but the fact that the purpose did such a huge change really makes me wonder why it didn't have more documentation at it's beginning.\nThe one that worked much better had documentation that we kept referring back to, which actually helped keep our customer on-task as well. It could have been derailed by a long set of requests for search and reporting functionality. Request was deferred to a separate, second project, to leave the core functionality alone. Reporting got done on time as well.\nBoth of these projects had 6 month time-lines to start. Both of these projects finished with a great deal of customer collaboration, and iterative development cycles. One of them had good documentation at it's beginning telling us what our goals are. The other was waylaid by the changing goals of the customer, and since there were no good requirements to begin with it fell far from it's original mission.\nI'll also mention that the original business sponsor has come back asking why it doesn't do what was originally intended.

I have some developers reporting to me. So let me say this; Regulated, Regimented development. That's what I try to use most of the time. Yes, really. It is extremely important to start a project with good specifications. First, this means that I have had several conversations with my customers about what they are expecting to get out of the project, and how they expect to interact with it before anybody starts coding.<br><br>Requirements specifications make their way to Functional specifications. This is where I admit that these are often done incorrectly, but they are still done. Let me explain that. The requirements are the high level things that management wants to accomplish. The functional specs are supposed to be the things that define how the customer will interface with the product to meet the requirements. However, more often, most of the interface decisions are stuffed into Requirements leaving the functional specification to double as a technical roadmap to how the project will be completed.<br><br>As long as all of the necessary information is there, it doesn't really bother me.<br><br><br><a name=more></a><b>No Accounting for Expectations</b><br><br>One thing that all of these requirements do not get me is a customer that actually understands the full implications of what they are asking for. Further, it doesn't give me the forsight to understand that something that the customer legitimately asked for and agreed that they wanted, is actually the opposite of what they need after they see what they are about to get.<br><br>This point is why I need the documents. This part is why that top down approach is really, really important.<br><br>No, not to shove it down the user's throat, but to clearly be able to go to the project management team and say, this project is under threat. What the customer needs is NOT reflected in this documentation, and I need to go through some development iterations quickly with the customer until I can really figure out what they want. I use the documenation, plus the frustration of the customer to switch to collaborative development iterations.<br><br>1) Here's the almost finished development that does what you asked for.<br>2) Customer realizes that prototype needs something different.<br>3) Remind customer where they asked for what they got, get specific reasoning for the change. Does it save time? What goes wrong if we leave it as is?<br>4) Go back to project management, explain the problem and the reasons for the problem.<br>5) Work with the customer to fix it BEFORE it's a service issue later.<br><br>For the customer, the trade off is often that they lose features that were originally asked for if the timelines cannot be extended. As long as project management and the customer understand this up-front, then things go pretty well.<br><br>I recently led two separate projects that went through agile-collaborative cycles come to a close. The one that started with the most documentation has the happiest result. The one that started with almost no documentation is still a bit of a monster that is difficult to add new features to.<br><br>The worse of these was for an editor to help quickly add new data into a system. To start agile at the very beginning of a project in this case caused the completion date to slip by almost a year, and we lost the lead developer during (and likely because of) the project. The length of the project slip was partly due to that developer leaving, but I also know it has a lot to do with the fact that it was an agile project from it's inception. The customers lost track of the primary goals of the system, and around month two changed out it's primary goal. By it's end, a project which was supposed to help users quickly enter new data into the system was released as something that couldn't add new data, but only edit old data records. That's what the customer wanted, but the fact that the purpose did such a huge change really makes me wonder why it didn't have more documentation at it's beginning.<br><br>The one that worked much better had documentation that we kept referring back to, which actually helped keep our customer on-task as well. It could have been derailed by a long set of requests for search and reporting functionality. Request was deferred to a separate, second project, to leave the core functionality alone. Reporting got done on time as well.<br><br>Both of these projects had 6 month time-lines to start. Both of these projects finished with a great deal of customer collaboration, and iterative development cycles. One of them had good documentation at it's beginning telling us what our goals are. The other was waylaid by the changing goals of the customer, and since there were no good requirements to begin with it fell far from it's original mission.<br><br>I'll also mention that the original business sponsor has come back asking why it doesn't do what was originally intended. This ongoing conversation is not fun.</div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/agile-scrum/>agile-scrum</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/dev/>dev</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/management/>management</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/work/>work</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2011/03/the-world-vs-america-why-the-usa-is-easy-to-hate/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>The World vs America: Why the USA is Easy to Hate</span></a>

A link where people who actually have the means can drop a dollar, or twenty. A link like this one here.\ncota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforSimonD\nLike this, those e-mails usually talk about some heart-wrenching case where the doctors spent years trying to figure out exactly what was wrong. In and out of hospitals. Parents work vacation time gone by mid-February, every year. Precious time was wasted, and meanwhile, that child's ability to just be a kid is not really complete.\ncota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforSimonD\nSimon D is a real kid. His parents are not rich and not terribly poor. His father has a decent job. Simon lives in a regular home with two loving parents. It's just that he's sick, and the very real costs of needing a bone marrow transplant are overwhelming. Sadly, there are not very many doctors and hospitals capable of performing this surgery on children. So, Simon will have to go out of Florida, where he lives. And his family will have to go too, because you can't just send a child alone on such a scary journey. The loss of income, the hotels, the travel expenses, the eating at hospital cafeterias. The inevitable follow-up visits with the surgeons. The estimated costs of this is 75,000 dollars (that's US money). cota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforSimonD\nThat is not an exaggeration, and honestly, deeply, even if this goal is made, it's still possible that it wouldn't be enough. Chances are, this goal will not be reached and Simon's parents will be in debt for the rest of their lives. Yes, this story is sad, and heart-breaking, but it's also very real.\nPlease help. Please send this like you have seen forwarded e-mails like I talked about above. Am I asking you to give money? Yes, yes I am, I won't deny that. I am ALSO asking you to forward this story to others. The COTA page doesn't tell a story. It's just a sentence, a picture and a donate button. Forward this story, and maybe some people will listen and be able to help a little bit.\n In case you were wondering, COTA is a Federally registered non-profit. Donations are tax deductible in the US. Also, for tax reasons, parents in this situation are NOT allowed to solicit donations themselves. They must rely on others to do this for them. Can you be someone who helps? -----------------------\nI have known Simon's father for over 19 years. He is, in my opinion, good people. I am just doing what I can. Seriously, please... help me spread the word for Simon.\nThank you,\nGary Allen ","wordCount":"489","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2011-01-06T10:53:00-05:00","dateModified":"2011-01-06T10:53:15.336-05:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2011/01/spreading-the-word-for-simon/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

While in these places, I've had countless hours of conversations with people from those places, most of whom have never traveled outside of their own countries. These conversations, frequently, are about America.\nToday's blog started with me reading something that someone in the UK posted online after a rock concert. ' The band mentioned that they'd just returned from a 7 week tour of the USA. That was met will a wall of boos, and shouts of \"fuck the USA\" and \"America sucks\".' Since I've discussed these opinions so often with people who have never been here, and I thought it would be something that would make a good blog post. So, sorry for the long setup. Here goes.\n\nAmerican Exports\nThe backdrop of America, to most of the world comes from our most prolific export. America exports culture better than any other country in the entire world. However, we do this almost exclusively through our entertainment.\nThink about that. For every single thing that as an American, I see on TV, and think embarrassingly, what an idiot, the rest of the world has no choice but to equate that to \"Americans\".\nThat's right, all that crap that is on TV, that actual Americans know for certain is the fringe of the fringe sort of stuff, happens to also be a wildly popular export. We send forth Snookie to be a cultural liaison. The kids on \"The Real Life\" or \"Jackass\" movies are in \"reality shows\", so that is what Americans are like, right? Borat, similarly, was a great teacher that it doesn't take long to find a complete, total, ass-hat, pretty much anywhere in America.\nIn both in China and India I've spent a strange amount of time pointing out that this stuff is entertainment in the US and exported from the US because it's also weird and freaky to Americans. These reality shows are always set up after finding people who have a very unusual lifestyle, and a very non-typical world-view. Then, more often than not, these odd people who have been found are taken out of their economic status, put up in a home that is larger than most Americans would ever live in, and given fame and fortune for being perpetually odd. It's a great way to entertain, but it isn't \"reality\". I point out that the people who are on their own local TV shows and movies also have little resemblance to the way that they themselves live their lives, then, I will point to specific examples.\nMoving away from reality, what about the mainstream fiction? Sex and the City is a great example of people who cannot possibly make 1.3 million per year, but live as if they do. Desperate Housewives was really popular while I was in China. I know exactly one couple where the wife doesn't have to go to work every day. On that show, it's the exception.\nIn India, I looked around and said, \"Why isn't everyone singing and dancing? Every movie here, everyone sings and dances. Would a foreigner who's never been here not automatically expect that every disagreement is resolved through song and dance?\" In China, very few people actually know Kung Fu. Their movies certainly show otherwise. \"Why don't you know Kung Fu?\"\nUnless they've really been here in the US for a substantial amount of time, this is the first time they start to grasp that America isn't exactly like the movies and shows they have seen. Even travelling here, most will never fully get it. The perception is that Americans are all rich, and they come here, and stay in a hotel that is cleaned daily by a maid service. Isn't that exactly what they've learned to expect? They are here, and treated as a guest, and so they don't get a chance to really \"get it\".\nJust like most Americans can't spend a minute to feel bad for the CEO of HP who lost her job, the rest of the world has little care to spend a minute to feel bad for us Americans who sometimes, if not often, disagree with what our government is doing. After-all, we are a Democratic Republic, and one of the few countries in the world where we directly elect our leader (unlike Parliamentary systems where you hope the ruling party chooses a good Prime Minister). We are all rich, and should know better than to elect a government that won't do what we want.\nWhich brings me straight into\nAmerican Foreign Policy\nThe USA war policies of Bush are currently our main issues within Europe. Most Europeans, and especially the British that I've met, totally understand the crux of entertainment IS strange (though, still, we all must be rich), but it doesn't give us anything to explain why we are still in Iraq. Still being in Afghanistan wouldn't bother anybody if we were not also still in Iraq, mostly on a set of lies. (It can be argued that now, we are almost out of Iraq, but we are not actually out yet, and this doesn't explain why we've been there as long as we had been). Let me be clear, the Bush war policies didn't start with Bush, just the current wars that we are hated for came from Bush. Generally, Obama is blameless for these, regardless of the nit-picking of what he has not done about them. The world is at least a little disillusioned that Obama didn't immediately end all wars, because, really, that is what the world wanted (including a large section of the Democratic base, here). Logically, if any one person thinks about what that would mean, it can be understood quickly that it would be a really bad idea, but logic and emotion do not have to jive.\nSo very recently, it was FRANCE that was the first to reach out to the rebel leadership in Libya. This, we absolutely can blame Obama for, but the move, even from the French, was a bit of a risky move. It fits the country's personality though, even going all the way back to the US revolution. If the US were that consistent, would the world hate us as much? Probably not.\nMost of the worlds really bad political problems that have happened in the last 40 years, can be traced back to something our own CIA was involved with at one time, but fucked up. Please don't discount that. The rest of the world has certainly not. But what about the UK, our closest political ally? My opinion of this is, they hate us because of the way we seem to drag them down. So, on the world stage, the UK is also hated along with us. I think the British, mostly, dislike us for that, in the way a clean living man hates his drug dealing brother (hate with caring). Ancient History America, as a country, has the shortest memory of any country I've ever visited. We see ancient history as anything that happened before we were each 10. No other place I've been has an easy dismissal of things that happened before they were born. I've met Chinese who still take it personally that the US supported the British opium war more than 100 years ago. Similarly, don't look back at World War II, and say, \"See we rebuilt your countries, and now you hate us!\" At the end of the Eisenhower administration, the US deeply changed the way it dealt with the world. We started acting with the arc of \"superpower\". Also as importantly, we started nurturing a full time Military Industrial complex. Nobody really blamed us for that because the Soviet Union was much more feared than we were. That all changed in 1989 when the Berlin wall fell, and the Soviet Union fell right behind. The good-will of our helping to rebuild Europe has been replaced with questions about why we still have so many permanent military bases there. These are valid questions, but they also have valid answers. It is Not Really Hate Think about a neighbor who you worry about because he's got NRA stickers all over his pickup trucks and if anybody asks how he's doing he says, \"Did you see Jersey Shore last night? Them's my kind of people!\" You really don't like him, but he's your neighbor, and you worry about him. Also, when you asked him to help you fix that leaky sink, he took the spanner home, and didn't return it. Sure, you didn't know how to use it to fix the problem, but damnit, it was yours. That is, you know he'll help if you really need him to, but you really don't like asking him for help. Funny though, everything you hear about his family is all about success and money. We wish he'd adopt us. He's kind of a jerk, and you don't really know if he's actually friendly or not. Yep, that's us.\n I Am NOT Apologizing \n I need to make it very clear that this is not about hating America. I love us! However, I've talked to a lot of people, while on THEIR turf, and these are the lessons I've learned. Maybe you'll find it useful.

So, I did a quick search, and found a really great article over at ProPublica. This is a list of who still has money, and who paid money back already.\nTo me, I find it cool that it combines the 700 billion dollar \"TARP\" Bank Bailout bill, the 400 billion dollar \"Housing and Economic Recovery\" Mortgage bail-out and the 82 billion dollar \"Automotive Industry Financing Program\".\nBottom line, for all that promised money, the Government actually spent 619 billion dollars, and after so much talk of it being paid back, the US Government is still waiting for 305 billion dollars (specifically $305,505,533,784).\nBut what does 305 billion dollars have to do with the current Government Shut-down? Well, from the best I can tell, nothing. The current shutdown is about the Tea Party holding Republican senator's feet to the fire, and Democrats not understanding how serious the new majority party is about cutting spending. CBS News is reporting today that last night, Democrats had agreed to cut 35 billion in spending, but that the Republicans are not yet satisfied.\nTo me, I think that it's likely that a deal will happen today. Spending cuts can be reported, so the Republicans will be able to tell their constituents that they got something done, and Obama and other Democrats will be able to pat themselves on the back about how they reached across the aisle to include the concerns of their Republican friends.\nMaybe one of those spending cuts will include my friend's job. All the talk about government workers, and government spending, usually forgets that this is directly screwing with people's lives.

On Tuesday morning, Jen and I were both in the office and something seemed strange.

Now, with Smart-Phones becoming more and more popular, things like multi-touch and gestures are being added too. So, Jen and I were in an Apple store a few weeks back browsing (well, playing with) the new laptops. The touch-pads on these things are very sensitive, and accidentally letting a second finger graze the pad while trying to move the pointer does unexpected things. Two fingers, and the app switches, three fingers, and you are thrown to another desktop. I was thinking to myself that it would take a few hours with it to really get used to it. Jen says that the care required to work it was more than she is willing to put in (paraphrased). Microsoft Touch Mouse (Amazon) Over at Amazon, they are now advertising this thing called the Microsoft Touch Mouse. It, of course, is the Microsoft answer to the Apple Magic Mouse, except the Microsoft listing has a video of how to operate it. Similar thing. I'm thinking to myself, Oh, this could take a few days of use to get used to, and maybe, maybe it will make computing faster if I learn this, but is it worth the effort? Jen, she has a similar reaction as she did to the Mac touch-pads. Doing cursory research for this blog, I found a demo video for the Apple Magic Mouse as well. The Apple demo (not surprisingly) is of much higher production value than the Amazon/Microsoft demo, but it also advertises a feature that made Jen and me feel better about it... They show you where to turn the multi-touch features off. This makes sense, being that the Magic Mouse is the default mouse that comes with new Apple products. Apple Magic Mouse (Amazon) But it makes me really question a basic fundamental. Do they make these improvements because consumers want these features?

Up until recently, innovations with mouses have been about adding more buttons, and scroll wheels. Now, with Smart-Phones becoming more and more popular, things like multi-touch and gestures are being added too.<div><br></div></div><div>So, Jen and I were in an Apple store a few weeks back browsing (well, playing with) the new laptops. The touch-pads on these things are very sensitive, and accidentally letting a second finger graze the pad while trying to move the pointer does unexpected things. Two fingers, and the app switches, three fingers, and you are thrown to another desktop. I was thinking to myself that it would take a few hours with it to really get used to it. Jen says that the care required to work it was more than she is willing to put in (paraphrased).<a name=more></a></div><div><br></div><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=tr-caption-container style=float:right;margin-left:1em;text-align:right><tbody><tr><td style=text-align:center><a href=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DAEcRnDTL.jpg imageanchor=1 style=clear:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto><img border=0 height=213 src=/img/geek-the-ubiquitous-computer-mouse_2_51DAEcRnDTL.jpg width=320></a></td></tr><tr><td class=tr-caption style=text-align:center><a href=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HYGU18/>Microsoft Touch Mouse (Amazon)</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div>Over at Amazon, they are now advertising this thing called the <a href=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HYGU18/>Microsoft Touch Mouse</a>. It, of course, is the Microsoft answer to the <a href=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TLTGM6>Apple Magic Mouse</a>, except the Microsoft listing has a video of how to operate it. Similar thing. I'm thinking to myself, Oh, this could take a few days of use to get used to, and maybe, maybe it will make computing faster if I learn this, but is it worth the effort? Jen, she has a similar reaction as she did to the Mac touch-pads.</div><div><br></div><div>Doing cursory research for this blog, I found a demo video for the <a href=http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/>Apple Magic Mouse</a> as well. The Apple demo (not surprisingly) is of much higher production value than the Amazon/Microsoft demo, but it also advertises a feature that made Jen and me feel better about it... They show you where to turn the multi-touch features off. This makes sense, being that the Magic Mouse is the default mouse that comes with new Apple products.</div><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=tr-caption-container style=float:left;margin-right:1em;text-align:left><tbody><tr><td style=text-align:center><a href=http://images.apple.com/magicmouse/images/hero_2_20091020.jpg imageanchor=1 style=clear:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto><img border=0 height=137 src=/img/geek-the-ubiquitous-computer-mouse_3_hero_2_20091020.jpg width=400></a></td></tr><tr><td class=tr-caption style=text-align:center><a href=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TLTGM6>Apple Magic Mouse (Amazon)</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>But it makes me really question a basic fundamental. Do they make these improvements because consumers want these features? Or, do they make these improvements because without improvement people will just stick to their old mouse -- As these days, with so few moving parts, they seem to last forever anyway.</div></div></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/geek/>geek</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/history/>history</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/media/>media</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/tech/>tech</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2012/01/sopa-pipa-protect-ip/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>SOPA/PIPA (Protect IP)</span></a>

My response was to just never turn it off, which worked until I had to turn it off for a while. Anyway, originally it would give the warning, then I could hit a button, and the error would disappear, and I could still play the board. Recently, it stopped playing. So, I got out my soldiering iron, and some angle wire cutters and replaced the battery. (it was spot welded onto leads that go into the main board, now there are long lead wires that are soldered onto the original leads, and those - in turn - are soldiered to the watch battery).\nBut then, I remember that this thing isn't just a board, it's an entire MIDI workstation and control instrument. I wasn't storing anything because I knew the low battery would just lose whatever it was. Now that there's a fresh battery again, though... How to, well, I didn't have a manual, so I started searching around.\nI find that one place has the manuals that I need. So, I'm looking around, and they ALSO have a main-board memory upgrade for it. Oooooh, it can hold 58000 sequence notes, instead of only 8000. I hadn't heard much about this site but decided to go for it (using PayPal).\nIt took 24 hours for them to send me the PDF manuals. It took about a week for the memory to get to me. I installed it about an hour ago, and the instructions were clear enough (shrugs, I know, that doesn't say much, since I was confident enough to replace the battery even before I got a copy of the service manual). Mostly, the memory upgrade works as advertised.\nThe site doesn't look like much, but these guys did what they said they would, and since I can't find that much on the net about them, good or bad, I figured that I'd point them out on the net right here.\nTo the folks at www.syntaur.com, thank you for keeping parts around for my 20 year old keyboard design and being so easy to work with.

I don't have more time than that. -- @GAVollink I've been following along with a pilot training program that was recently launched where I work. One section of it is on a project definition framework. I have never liked this framework, and only today - while responding to the trainer on another inquiry, did I finally understand why. At the same time, I realized that I shouldn't dislike the framework at all... I started implementing projects 18 years ago. I started defining projects 12 years ago. I started advocating projects from other peoples ideas almost 10 years ago. Over the last 8 years, sometimes, I am the decision maker. In all this time, I have never seen a project accepted by a decision maker for implementation because of how carefully documented it is. Quite the opposite. The project that can be described in two sentences - basically, twitter format - is most likely to get that person's attention. The project that can get someone's attention an ALSO has a 30 second elevator pitch as a follow-up is rarely passed by. That said, mounds of research and careful documentation is absolutely useful, essential even, about 20 minutes after the idea has been successfully pitched. At the point it has been pitched, it will be a project, ready or not, so the details need to be ready too. That's not the point. What I've come to realize is that if someone has not thought through the project carefully enough to be able to isolate it to an introductory sound bite, and a follow-up paragraph, then the project probably is not ready to be done. In some cases, it is a project that is supposed to be solving too many problems at once. Something that is trying to fix everything is likely to be like a porcupine walking backwards through a silk shop. In some cases, it is a project that would be best served as an add-on to a different project entirely. In most cases, it is a project that is going to be waylaid by someone else's description of a problem. When the project that can't be simply explained is swimming in a decision makers head, and someone else describes a problem, suddenly - because the project is not understood in the first place - the project and the problem are arbitrarily married. The misguided ah-ha moment, \"That must be what that project is for.\" Coming back to the framework though, if there isn't a full project framework in place to back up that sound byte and elevator pitch, any technical person who is supposed to support that project going forward is going to expect that mound of research, the proof that this was really thought through. Not having a well thought out plan for an idea that was already bought by a decision maker, will grow enemies quickly. So my dislike for the framework is not about the framework, but the lack of the step where a sound byte and elevator pitch are distilled from that framework. So, now I think of it this way; If I can't tweet a project description that makes sense, I'm not ready to pitch the project. If I can't come up with a 30 second elevator speech to back up the tweet, then, I'm not ready to pitch the project. If I don't follow the framework, too, then I don't even have a project to pitch.

One section of it is on a project definition framework. I have never liked this framework, and only today - while responding to the trainer on another inquiry, did I finally understand why. At the same time, I realized that I shouldn't dislike the framework at all...</span><br><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">I started implementing projects 18 years ago. I started defining projects 12 years ago. I started advocating projects from other peoples ideas almost 10 years ago. Over the last 8 years, sometimes, I <i>am</i> the decision maker. In all this time, I have never seen a project accepted by a decision maker for implementation because of how carefully documented it is. Quite the opposite. The project that can be described in two sentences - basically, twitter format - is most likely to get that person's attention. The project that can get someone's attention an ALSO has a 30 second elevator pitch as a follow-up is rarely passed by.</span><br><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">That said, mounds of research and careful documentation is absolutely useful, essential even, about 20 minutes after the idea has been successfully pitched. At the point it has been pitched, it will be a project, ready or not, so the details need to be ready too. That's not the point. What I've come to realize is that if someone has not thought through the project carefully enough to be able to isolate it to an introductory sound bite, and a follow-up paragraph, then the project probably is not ready to be done.</span><br><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">In some cases, it is a project that is supposed to be solving too many problems at once. Something that is trying to fix everything is likely to be like a porcupine walking backwards through a silk shop. In some cases, it is a project that would be best served as an add-on to a different project entirely. In most cases, it is a project that is going to be waylaid by someone else's description of a problem.</span><br><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">When the project that can't be simply explained is swimming in a decision makers head, and someone else describes a problem, suddenly - because the project is not understood in the first place - the project and the problem are arbitrarily married. The misguided ah-ha moment, "That must be what that project is for."</span><br><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Coming back to the framework though, if there isn't a full project framework in place to back up that sound byte and elevator pitch, any technical person who is supposed to support that project going forward is going to expect that mound of research, the proof that this was really thought through. Not having a well thought out plan for an idea that was already bought by a decision maker, will grow enemies quickly. So my dislike for the framework is not about the framework, but the lack of the step where a sound byte and elevator pitch are distilled from that framework.</span><br><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">So, now I think of it this way; If I can't tweet a project description that makes sense, I'm not ready to pitch the project. If I can't come up with a 30 second elevator speech to back up the tweet, then, I'm not ready to pitch the project. If I don't follow the framework, too, then I don't even have a project to pitch.</span></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/agile-scrum/>agile-scrum</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/work/>work</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2013/07/fourth-amendment-to-the-united-states-constitution/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution</span></a>

This means, I regularly have correspondence with people in Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Poland, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Some of these folks, I have become friends with, so I have had personal correspondence with people in these countries, both paper and electronic.\nI have known about the existence of the NSA since the 80s. They are, of course, prominently featured in political dramas (Tom Clancy's works, for example). The technology suggested in such entertainment has long been \"accelerated technology\", but I never for a moment assumed that it was all fiction.\nThat is, I have long known that the NSA knows who I am. There's a huge amount of the population, of course, that has to correspond with people in foreign countries, but it is a small percentage of people in comparison to the whole US population. Domestically, the USA is not in the NSA charter, but in talking with another country, I figured that I would be fair game in the context of those conversations, on a technicality.\nOf course, then 2001 happened, and everything went haywire. Homeland security, the merger of the intelligence services, a new era of inter-agency cooperation, all in the name of security.\nIn 2002, it turned out that the FISA court had found out that the FBI was breaching the provisions of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, by lying to the court, and they issued a rare public opinion, to try to stop it.\nIn December of 2005, the New York Times broke a story that the Bush Administration had unilaterally authorized spying on US citizens' phone calls without any court oversight at all. I wrote a blog entry in direct reaction to that at the time.\nWell, it's 8 years later, the NSA has actually vastly expanded the project that was started in 2002, and seems to have no shame about it. Probably because nobody cared in 2005, or because nobody noticed, and this time the FISA court seems to issue ever renewing blanket warrants for everything.\nThe revelations that have come out of this have been deeply surprising in some ways, and sad. Mostly sad. I could point you to resources, but if you haven't looked it up yet, I highly doubt my blog will convince you. I will, though, leave you with a quote from one of the US founding fathers.\n They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ","wordCount":"443","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2013-07-03T21:13:00.001-04:00","dateModified":"2015-09-16T11:48:21.576-04:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2013/07/nsa-and-security-again/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Sinai) and got the new Scan, and then, after another two weeks, I was finally able to see the Doctor (I was fit in, but didn't have an actual appointment time).\nThe Doctor's appointment on the 25th of September was very interesting. They showed me a 25mm (and inch wide) Staghorn (meaning grown into the various valleys of my kidney) Kidney Stone, and said it had probably been growing there for several years. And... the local hospital E.R. had clearly missed it. The Doctor tentatively scheduled me in for the 8th of October to have it removed, and sent me off for a different doctor, to get a pre-surgical clearance. I was able to get in there on the 27th, got some chest X-rays to verify that my heart was ticking proper, and then I waited to find out about the firmness of that date. I didn't find out for certain about the surgery on the 8th until they called me on the 7th.\nThe surgery itself was slow to get started, but eventually happened. I was VERY nervous about this, being my first time under general anesthesia, but ... I did wake up. The entire surgery was done through a single tube inserted from my left flank into my kidney (this part was done about an hour before the surgery, and under just a local anesthetic. The estimate was that I'd be in the operating room for 1 hour, and instead it took 2 hours and 15 minutes. The Doctor said to Jen, \"chasing bits of stone into all sorts of nooks and crannies\", or something near that. I'm repeating it third hand, at least. Which suggests to me that this thing was even more spread out than the CAT scan had showed. Anyway, when I woke up my first thought was, \"Oh, I guess I am going to survive this.\"\nI stayed in the Hospital overnight, and got two morphine shots; though, I only remember the second one. By morning, I was feeling better. I had two catheters, one was the tube that had been put in to support the surgery itself, directly into my kidney, I went home with this one. The other was removed fairly early on Wednesday (in front of an audience of 8 nursing students), I was too groggy to even feel embarrassed. By that evening, I had done the required walking, and they sent me home, with an appointment to have the tube (and bag) removed the following Monday (14th).\nWalking around with a tube sticking out of my side, and carrying a bag of urine is a surreal state of being. I was tired and if I walked for more than about a block, my muscles would cramp up around where the tube was sticking out of me. I was also worried about people bumping into it. So, I ended up staying home a lot. There are pictures, but I'm not planning on grossing anybody out with them.\nOn 14 October, I went in to have the tube removed. So the tube that was in me was a catheter. That is, it went from inside my kidney to outside of my body, and handily hooked up to a bag. This means that when my kidney finished with liquids, and ejected urine it would go through this catheter. From my right kidney, everything continued to work as normal, kidney, bladder, urethra, toilet.\nI had joked with some people that, by the description of the doc, they would clip a tether, pull the tube out of me, and send me home...\n...I had that wrong. They did put two very thin pieces of gauze over the hole and taped it on before sending me home. The implications of this should not have been surprising, but they took me a bit off guard. Pardon, but this is gross, and I can't really help it.\nKnowing that there would be \"a little leakage\" (my dumb head was just thinking bloody discharge), I smartly asked Jen to buy us some Chux. I mean, it seems crazy that they would send me for an 1 plus hour ride home with two strips of gause if my kidney is still pumping out 1.8 liters of urine per day (as measured from the bag over a week). But this, they did, and to suggest that the gauze and the Chux were insufficient, would be a nice way of putting it. Remind me to get the car steam cleaned.\nOver two nights, Jen and I tried some different things to hold the deluge, and each failed in its own interesting way resulting me waking up cold, scared and wet. We eventually settled on Pampers taped to my side, which were the most effective but still not 100%.\nSome time before 11AM on Wednesday, the hole in my kidney finally healed enough for me to unstrap from the diaper. Also, there was an immediate flood of pain as (and I was warned about this part) surgical detritus flushed towards my bladder. It was not \"all better\" for me quite yet, but with a dry back, sanity begins to return, and I would be able to get the much needed post surgery rest that I'd been lacking up until that point.\nSince Wednesday the 16th, I've been feeling progressively better each day, until today, when I am finally well enough to return to work.\nThe fallout of this is that I have Uric Acid type kidney stones. This means, I get coffee back, but it also means that I cannot have more than six ounces of \"animal protein\" per day. Chicken, Pork, Beef, Fish, even eggs are high in these chemicals called Purines.

I've written about parts of this for my old web site (the one hosted at home). I'm keeping this professional. It is likely that I'll post this again at some distant point in the future, but with more detail.\nFor most of my professional life, I've been a computer programmer or computer administrator. This is my story.\n\nSmall Beginnings\nFor an American, I grew up relatively poor. At least the part of my child-hood after my parents divorced. My mother couldn't afford a computer, and at had declared that they were nothing more than overpriced video game systems. The point of this is I never had access to a computer in my home growing up. To this day, I don't know if this is a benefit or disadvantage.\nTwo Things From School\nIn the 8th grade, I took a business class, and learned to type. I had absolutely no idea at the time that this one thing would be the most important thing I would ever learn in school. Everything I've done professionally, I thank Ms. Mason for teaching that class.\nIn high school, something else happened that would also shape my life, but I never imagined that it could. A friend of mine got an Amiga 500. These computers came with a BASIC language interpreter, and that BASIC interpreter could do simple (monophonic) music as well as a very basic text to speech function. I actually spent hours in front of that thing getting it to do and say different things. I was fascinated by programming.\nI learned Mechanical Drafting on paper and AutoCAD, both in high-school and vocational. I can't say that I never would have found a job in this field, but I can say that knowing how to type meant I was in a better paying job by the time I got an interview.\nIn the early mornings at the vocational school, I played with their IBM computers that would boot to a BASIC prompt, and wrote many silly little programs in my spare time. I didn't own a computer of my own, and I just thought that putting in commands, and making the computer do what I wanted seemed like magic. Either way, it was a game to me, and I never once thought that I'd have a chance to ever do anything with this.\nI thought I knew at the time that \"real programmers\" could do a very different kind of magic. I thought that computer programmers were Electronics Engineering majors that could write an entire functional program in their head, and type it out in binary without thought (this is what the movies taught me). For the most part, this is still what movies teach, and that is too bad.\nOffice Work\nAbout a year after I left school, I was able to quit my job in a K-Mart garden center for an office job doing data entry. This was a friend connection job, as so many successful starting out stories are, and the only prerequisite was that I know how to type. I took the job, at just under twice minimum wage at the time, and was doing so much better than I had at K-Mart that I thought I was set.\nSeveral things all happened in a six month span that were all very amazing. A roommate couldn't pay his rent, I had a very bad interview, and I opened my mind to new possibilities.\n At home, my girlfriend at the time and I had a roommate for a while. He was there for only five months total, but his helping with the rent was good. Then, on the third month, he couldn't pay his rent. Then, he brought home a computer, and suggested a barter. I wanted it, and it was too easy to talk me into it. It had a 286 processor when Pentium processors were already out (three versions old), and I reasoned that it could have been sold cheaply and handed down. I knew then that it was probably stolen, and that it was wrong for me to agree to take it. It came with MS-DOS, and had some programs on there that I had no interest in, and deleted. For the first time in my life, I had a computer at home. While doing this job, I got a job interview for a Mechanical Drafting job. This is what I thought my path was, so I went on the interview. I found out that the job payed 20% less than I was already making, and that they thought that they were paying generous wages. Then, surprising everyone there (including me) I spent most of the interview time asking them about their technology and how it works (and even had some notes on how they could improve it). The guy who ran the place told me that I probably need to be in the Information Technology field. I gave up on the idea of using my vocational schooling at that point.\nAfter not so long doing data-entry, I started realizing that most people who work in an office environment, in my area of the country, drove cars. Even people in that same office, and same company, drove cars. They were not fabulous cars, not necessarily even new cars, but I took the bus or rode my bicycle to the office. So, I start looking at what these other people do, and I realize that they are all either computer programmers or computer administrators. In my head, all magicians to be revered.\nI started talking to the programmers here and there, and a couple of things started to strike me. First, these guys knew more, but they weren't really smarter than I was. Second, programming even relatively simple things took these guys a long time. They didn't write in BASIC, they mostly wrote in C (I didn't know anything about C, but I figured that I could learn it). I started asking questions. I started reading technical manuals for the computer systems that they had.\nNorman Bronstein worked there. This guy was in his 60s (at the time), and loved to tell tales about when he used to work for Bell Labs in New Jersey. He talked about technology, and handed me compiler software to load at home (this was pre-internet, I didn't even know this stuff could be purchased by mere mortals, and certainly wasn't aware of software piracy as a problem). He bought me one of my first books on learning the C language...\nSelf Schooling\n\nWhen people hear that I don't have a college degree, most assume that I must be some sort of savant. The thing is, I've probably read more computer books, done more homework, and actually keyed in more examples than most people with four year Computer Science degrees. What I'm missing, honestly, is Calculus and Trigonometry. I can, however, do binary algebra with the best of them (and frankly, I've never once been asked to do the sorts of graphics processing that would require the math that I'm missing).\nI started with nothing but my hobby background in BASIC, and went to the book store looking for a book on C. Well, I started with a book that was well above my head, A Small C Compiler by James Hendrix. I read a lot of it, but it talked so much about the limitations of computer internals that it probably did me more harm than good. I realized that I was missing something fundamental but I wasn't sure what it was.\nI then picked up a book on Intel Assembly Language (and a copy of MASM that Norm had handed me). I read through some of this, and I saw a distant glow of possibility, but nothing really clicked. I borrowed some other books from people at work, started reading those, too. I just didn't really understand what I was looking at. All of this, though, like the first book I picked up, did a lot of talking about what the hardware itself was doing.\nMy mother had a book from when she went to college called Digital Fundamentals by Thomas Floyd. This is the book that made it all click for me. It starts with binary algebra, and the CMOS logic gates that implements the binary algebra. It talks about memory, and gate sets, and functions implemented in gate arrays, and finished on microprocessors, specifically calling out the 8088, the very set of Intel Assembly that I had been reading about before that.\nI spent the next three months diligently writing assembly from my various books, going so far as rushing through the examples in Assembly Programming: For Real Programmers Only by Marcus Johnson, including the Windows examples, and excluding the device driver examples.\nFrom there, I went back to the C books, but this time, I would compile the samples into Assembly so that I would understand what was actually happening. After a few more months, I stopped reading and using assembly, and I started trusting what the compiler was doing.\nThen, as a way to give myself a project, I wrote a Klondike Solitaire program, including graphics and mouse control (but no \"win\" detection) under Watcom C and DOS 4. When it worked, I was amazed.\nMeanwhile, At the Office\n\nBy way of recognizing that I was learning things about computers in general, I was hired into the computer operations group. I did very well at this job, and it was a place where questioning everything, all of the time was not only encouraged ... it was rewarded. I sometimes caught things that other operators didn't catch, and I know I made some enemies during this time. I didn't mean to be hurtful, but I was cocky.\nAt one point, there was a general call to all of the computer operators. There is a programmer job, and everyone is encouraged to turn in a program they wrote (executable and source code). Except me, every person who applied had been going to the local college for Computer Science. Except me, every applicant turned in their final assignment from the C class (a single user customer-service management app). I ... turned in my lowly solitaire program, and I got the job!\nTwo weeks before my new job starts, I hear that Norm Bronstein was being laid off. He was \"too slow\". I will always feel bad about this. This man had been a mentor to me, and I ended up replacing him. I was a UNIX shell programmer for a few months, then I was a C programmer for almost a year. Then, after I was put under a manager who had been in operations when I had been cocky, I ended up switching roles and working as a UNIX Administrator for a while. Eventually I was a team lead over the operations team that I had previously worked in.\nThen, after a rather scary change of management at that company, I decided to move to another state (the company closed 5 months later). I had done a lot to train in one of the operations guys to do a lot of the UNIX Admin job that I was also doing, and recommended him as my replacement on the way out the door. That guy got the job, for the little time the company lasted.\nLegitimate Work\n\nI had spent my first five+ professional years at a company where a friend of a friend worked. Even my getting the programming job over the other guys could have been, at least partly, because of that nepotism. I wasn't fully sure of myself, but I knew in my heart that I had some legitimate skills. So, when I found myself in a new state, and a new market, I was worried. I stayed unemployed for over six weeks, and finally got a contracting job running Linux systems (1,600 Linux systems), and I did fine. I was there for 5 months (and I often don't list this on my CV).\nAt the end of that contract, I found a new job doing HP/UX administration and software support. After six months, I started repairing laptops and picking up the rest of the IT admin work at this company (their only IT support was in another country). I had one of those tough negotiations with my manager, and got the title IT Manager after 8 months. While I was there, only sometimes with part-time employees, I started using Perl to do automation work. I also did Oracle DBA work, and became certified in Progress 9 (another database).\nAt the end of my time there, the comptroller let me know that they were looking to outsource my job to an external IT contractor (I wasn't actually making that much, but they were looking to sell, and wanted to cut down the salary base pre-sale). I was at this company for over six years, ending as the Director of IT. Just before my end-date, I found a contract job as a Perl programmer.\nAt the end of a six month contract as a Perl programmer, I was hired full-time. My job was Technical Team Leader. I was a Technical Team Leader with teams of 1 to 4 people for five years, and then was promoted to Development manager. I don't program or administer anything anymore. It's been 21 years since this tale began, and I'm happy that I've made it to management. Strangely, while I miss being \"close to the metal\" and doing stuff, I can also tell ... I'm slow and sloppy now. Maybe I'm just out of practice. Or maybe, it's the slow that was creeping up on Norm all those years back. I'll never be sure.\nFin.\n ","wordCount":"2307","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2014-07-21T18:35:00.002-04:00","dateModified":"2015-09-16T11:47:45.761-04:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2014/07/professional-autobiography/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

First, I have to say that I was a little confused at first, then impressed. Walking up to the building, I'm staring at this strange ultra-modern entrance where in any other museum, I'd expect to see a grand stairway.\n Source: Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Collection (SUB 0184) Looked up some history, and found it - sadly, can't find it without the context being construction of the subway. A two story grand stairway used to lead up to the front doors. The crazy modern entrance was added in 2004, but it turns out the stairs were removed way back in 1934 (only 10 some years after the museum's original construction plans were completed). It's heartening to think that even back then the museum board was thinking of things like accessibility. Source: Brooklyn Museum Honestly, I think this site would have shocked me even more. It is ugly. It seems that even in the 1930s there could have been a more creative way to make the building accessible from the ground floor. However, it seems that this is the way the building was presented to visitors between 1934 and 2004. There's a parking lot in the back, there must have been an accessible doorway back there. How else would big statues come in and out? Source: Brooklyn Museum Once inside, I was quite surprised at how much stuff was there. I've been in plenty of very big looking museums where there was very little space actually available for public view, and this museum is definitely not like that. All five floors have areas that are open to the public. We did not plan for a full day, and we should have. We will definitely be going back to see the majority of the museum that we didn't get to see. If you are, or have ever been fascinated by high heeled shoes, I seriously suggest checking out the Killer Heels exhibition, which closes on March 1. Source: Brooklyn Museum Another thing to point out (I was greatly impressed by this) is a room on the fifth floor called the Visible Storage Study Center. It is basically a glass cased warehouse of stuff that wouldn't fit in the rest of the museum. There are iPads and hanging catalogs instead of individual placards. If I see something I like, I type the catalog number into an iPad, and the details come up. To me this felt more interactive, even though a lot of the collection couldn't even be seen very well (like items on high shelves). Anyway, I'm impressed. Be sure to add it to your list if you are a Museum buff.

Just like the blog entry I left about adding a battery holder to my 1990s era MIDI workstation, I think it's mostly just a sounding board, and notebook for myself. Maybe some of the people who work on this project will read this, maybe not. Anyway, it's a lot of words, and not a lot of specifics.\nJust got off a meeting, kicking off the third phase of a project that I've been working on for 22 months. This is the phase where I hand off management to someone else, and I stay around to help .. answer questions, but mostly try to stay out of the way. Enable confidence in the person taking over, instead of deference.\n\nI asked for someone else to take over. Partly, because the next phase deals with databases that are not directly in my management chain, and partly because two years on a single project is starting to burn me out. My final phase isn't quite over, but it is quickly coming to a close.\n22 months ago, I was named as the delivery manager, and a handful of the best engineers we could gather came together in St. Paul to kick off a major change to the way our databases accept and distribute data changes out to products. The project started with some very lofty, but loose goals, and in two weeks, we all turned those goals into requirements, and from requirements, we came up with a fresh framework ... a fresh approach. We all scattered back to our corners of the world, and further refined the plan. I did my best to break down the approach into the smallest possible chunks, and estimated the overall project at 24 months.\nManagement, stakeholders, development team managers and developers further refined the project plans, and did everything possible to squeeze down the timelines. Eventually, we were approved to start with an unheard-of 18 month plan for phase 1. Projects rarely get approved if they cannot complete in the current fiscal year. But the goals are strategic, and everyone in the management chain above me did their best to sell the benefits.\nI remember reading a very-long time ago that most software projects that are estimated at more than 1 year of work ultimately fail. I took this to heart, very early, and have always done everything in my power to take this project in small parts.\nThis project is something that I'm extremely proud of, and I brought the first phase to completion within 2 months of the original 18 month goal. Through these related software projects, the database that was updated has seen an amazing doubling of delivery times, without an underlying hardware update. Plus opening up possibilities for many new projects. Not all of the original lofty goals could be met, but this project leaves us in a fully functional state where the roadmap to those other goals are obvious.\nAs phase 2 started, without any time to really sit back and figure out what to improve from phase 1, I started making notes about all of the side projects that had come up. Legacy things we had to fix, and get out of the way to make the new software succeed. Without the benefit of doing those side projects BEFORE phase 2, I'm starting to see some of the same dependency delays in phase 2, as I had in phase 1.\nWith this phase 3 kick-off, I have presented these side projects as pre-requisites. Individual stand-alone projects that can be completed within the older infrastructure software that will make the conversion to the new software a lot easier.\nNow that phase 1 is done, and I've really had time to dissect the things that could have been better, I think the separation of those parts, those sub-projects, should have been more formal, earlier. Teams ended up specializing on each project, but there was a /lot/ of places where cross-influence was not controlled in a formal manner. Frankly, I think that I was lucky that there was no part of the process that went wrong while my attention was on something else. Lucky that the team is so mature, and that there are plenty of senior developers who understood the goals and the principles that were set out for this project.\nMake no mistake. Failures happened in phase 1. Major failures in design that could have caused some potential major service issues have had to be flagged and fixed. There were team members who put in some extremely serious hours fixing things ... sometimes because my own advice was followed and wrong. Yet, despite the set-backs, the team succeeded.\nAs phase 2 wraps up, I'm taking this time to look back on what was accomplished, and hope that we continue to see successful completion of the future phases that I now pass on to my colleague.\nIn a very real way, I'm also sad that I'm handing this off to someone else. Yet, I know that there are new challenges to lead, and I'm anxious to help figure out what's next.

There are multiple stores in Manhattan that are not externally identified as Fla g ship but are. They are usually identified by the area of the city. I didn't r e alize that that area of downtown was a Flagship area. Flagship : n. : the finest, largest, or most important one of a chain of s t ore s That's the book definition. However, what it has come to mean, it my experi e nce is that this is the version of a store that is meant to be 100% camera ready al l of the time. In New York's flagship areas, this also means that only the tren d iest representations for that brand will be present, and that a limited size se l ection will be available. Some entire brands, of course, are like this. Abercrombie and Fitch has lon g be e n infamous for their brand exclusiveness in this area. I've never stepped foot into one, because I have never been their target demographic (even when I was a teenager). At least the guy in my story below let me know that I had accidentally stepp e d i n to a Flagship store. Now I know to steer clear of that area for anything where I might want to spend money. The way he told me, though, rubbed me the wrong w a y. Here's my story: \n I went to a store near Broadway and Prince Street. This section of Manhatta n , j u st North of Chinatown, has become a shopping district. Many of the stores I'd b e used to seeing in a nice mall have started to show up here. This particular shop is for a shoe brand that I've been buying consistently f or f ive years. I want new shoes (two pairs - black and brown - as is my habit), so I looked up the an address, and I happened to find this store was about 30 minu t es closer to me than the one I went to last time. I went in, and it felt wrong. This place didn't feel like a place where I sh o p, i t felt a little more like a museum. But... I'm wearing that store's own brand on my feet as I walk in, and I figure maybe they can help me. I find a few shoes that are similar to what has been comfortable for me in t h e p a st, and get the attention of one of the trendy and youthful sales staff. I start by pointing out my own shoes. I explain how these are the most comf o rta b le shoes I've ever had, and I wore the previous version of the same shoe, with a different name, and different features. I point to a shoe in a different line , and say, those look similar. I expect him to tell me that the model I'm wearing is no longer made, and th e n o f fer to show me some other things that might be similar. Maybe even the shoes t h at I just pointed at. I nstead, things went sideways. Paraphrased: That shoe line you are wearing isn ' t available in this store, though we have some of that line on the Women's side . So, what you can do is go to one of our other stores, and they might be able t o find your discontinued model, or maybe we can find something for you here. At this point, I'm getting this vibe that I'm being told that I don't belong her e . But, I realize, too, he's also just telling me that the whole line that I am used to just isn't available. It's a Sunday night, the other stores won't have a long period of being open by the time I take the next half-hour of ride to ge t there. I made the trip, but I'm also annoyed. I say, \"So, I made a mistake c o ming here, and I should go to your other store?\" Had he said, \"Yeah, sorry.\" I wouldn't have had the time to really get pissed off. Instead he keeps yammeri n g. Paraphrasing again: See, we're a flagship store, so we only have the newest m ode l s. As soon as something new is announced, we ship the old stuff off to another store. Now I have a VERY strong feeling that he doesn't want me shopping here. He's done nothing at all to st e er me back into a sale. Okay, he's young, I give him another chance. \"Do you h ave wide sizes here?\" The guy scoffs. He tells me that this store has very limited wide sizes. A n y w i de that they might have would be in the most expensive premium line. Then he b a ckpedals, and explains that even in that line, the selection would be limited. Instead of helping me find what they do have, he explained to me all the rea s ons that they won't have anything I'm looking for. Maybe, maybe I read the whole s i tuation wrong, but I honestly felt like I was being pushed out the door, like s o me sort of Pretty Woman moment. Anyway, I was pissed off, and I said, \"I get it, I'm not young enough or skinny enough to shop here.\" The guy, to his credit, blurted a confused version of I'm sorry. I said, \"N o pr o blem.\" and walked out the door, but I was angry. Somewhere in here there's probably a lesson about customer service. There's pro b ably also a lesson in how I view Manhattan flagship stores. These are stores that I feel , despite my affinity to a brand, make me feel unwelcome. Thing is, one of the best things about being a grown-up with a desk-job is that I am usually exactly the demographic that most companies want. I get it, fashion is different. I can deal with some parts of that. Maybe it's just that I've n e ver gotten this attitude from a shoe store before.

That's 20 years ago. There were a few 3D games before that, and several have come out since. Immersive 3D worlds have become common-place in video games. Recently, everyone has been talking about Oculus Rift, the new VR headset that's supposed to show up for retail next year. With that in mind, I didn't research much, I assumed that 3D was already a thing on PC. I am very much a fan of flight simulation and flying games in general. I have a decent HOTAS (Hands-On Throttle and Stick) as well as a very nice set of rudder pedals. As such, I'll talk about flight simulation first. The most common and popular software for this is Microsoft's Flight Simulator series that has been around for a VERY long time. It was the first of the programs to let us fly around the actual world that we know in real life. I remember trying to land on the simplistic Brooklyn Bridge using Flight Simulator in the early 1990s. I clearly remember there was some fanfare about Flight Simulator 2004 supporting stereoscopic 3D. The latest (and last) version of Flight Simulator that was actually made by Microsoft was Flight Simulator X that came out in 2010. So, I turn on Flight Simulator X with the nVidia 3D Vision enabled and everything seems to go quite well. The spinning aircraft in the Free Flight setup window shows up in actual 3D. So, I select a nice scenic area, and a fairly simple aircraft and launch the game. After a quarter second of scary black screen, everything sync's up, and the world looks perfect. Look around everything is where I expect it in space. Until... I see any lighting of the airport itself. I don't know how to describe this except to say that it seems like airport lighting is an afterthought. Once they've rendered the 3D world using the Video Card hardware for what it does best, it seems that the lighting is added to the screen. This means that the lighting is sitting at screen depth. This also means that as your eyes line up the far away background, the screen-depth lighting appears to show up twice... or, if you focus on the lights, the background becomes double. Sigh. That means Flight Simulator looks great as long as you never go towards an Airport. I really like to finish a session with a decent landing, and, well, this makes that pretty impossible. Turn off the 3D, and I'm happy with my setup with this game. The Microsoft folks never said they supported NVidia's 3D Vision with Flight SImulator X (which surprised me), but it was worth a try. I look around at other options, and figure I'll start with the nVidia site. They have a handy list of games that are certified as 3D Vision Ready. I drop down the selector and see a Genre for Flight Sim. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is the only game listed. Okay, so, I go to the site for the game itself, and they don't even have a trailer. It came out 5 years ago in 2010. There are a couple of pictures, but it's not clear if it is a mock up of the world, or if it's something from a cut scene, or is it from game-play? The smallest and crappiest image on the whole site seems to be from game-play, and I got to say, that's not encouraging. Maybe I'll buy this, but not without at least finding a decent review. So, what about non certified? Pretty much anybody says that the best flight simulator software out there is X-Plane 10 (warning that link has an auto-play video). X-Plane runs on all three popular Operating Systems. I go check out the forums, and no. It will not do stereoscopic 3D at all. NVidia's 3D drivers only support games written in DirectX, not OpenGL. That makes sense, I suppose, from a development stand-point (and their competition holds the same limitation), but there are a lot of games out there that use OpenGL. I will be buying a copy of this anyway, since it's basically the only new non-combat Flight Sim out there at all. I like racing games, too. Same place, drop down the Genre box to Racing. There are two titles, but neither are for sale anymore. GT Legends and rFactor 2. Supposedly these were great games. I note that most reviews I can find of 3D gaming, screenshots of GT Legends are usually prominent. Fair, but both of these games came out 10 years ago. I think I can still find a copy of one or both on Steam, but I didn't buy a new gaming rig to play stuff that my old rig could have played, but now in 3D. The newest games officially supported are not that new. Since, supposedly, MS Flight Simulator 2004 actually works, and I have a dusty copy, I might try the even older version of FS for 3D compatibility, but as I said, I didn't buy this rig to play games my old one could have played (and in this case, DID play). I will note that almost any game that came out under the game engine Unreal 3 might work, since Unreal 3, itself, did support nVidia 3D vision (and several of the 2011 titles with official nVidia support were coded using Unreal 3). This brings me to the title that I am most excited (after 20 years) to play. Descent is being recoded and re-released as a prequel. Descent: Underground is currently in Beta, and was coded using the Unreal 4 engine. In the Microsoft-like tradition of Flight Simulator 2004 to X, Unreal dropped support for NVidia 3D Vision. That means that the new generation of games coming have almost zero chance of 3D support. Further, Descent: Underground is supposed to support the Oculus Rift, but there are problems with that, too. So, that's where we are? There are only a handful of titles that support stereoscopic 3D viewing that have come out in the last 3 years, and none of them excite me. Meanwhile, I think I'll watch 3D Blu-Ray movies on my rig, because those actually do work quite flawlessly. I'm glad I decided to build my rig with an actual Blu-Ray drive, so the 3D stuff doesn't feel like a complete waste of money.

When you're a star, they let you do it. ... Grab em by the pussy. You can do anything.\" Outside of dramatic entertainment, I’ve never heard this type of brag in the context of power without attraction. In the context of power alone, this describes assault. It makes one criminal, not smooth. I bother saying this because when the sports folks say \"that shit never comes up,\" or \"that's not something that's commonly said,\" I think something gets lost. It wasn’t the foul language or even the boasting about sexual liaisons, it was the part where raw power is used to ignore preference. Sports stars are usually near a reporter in the locker room (one of the quotes above was an interview in a locker room), so - no - that wouldn't likely come up.

There are even the boasts that are about attraction to power. Honestly, some of what Trump said on that tape could absolutely be in that context. Except:</div><blockquote class=tr_bq>"I just kiss. I don't even wait. When you're a star, they let you do it. ... Grab em by the pussy. You can do anything."</blockquote><div class=p2>Outside of dramatic entertainment, I’ve never heard this type of brag in the context of power without attraction. In the context of power alone, this describes assault. It makes one criminal, not smooth.</div><div class=p2><span class=s1></span></div><div class=p2><span class=s1></span><br></div><br><div class=p1><span class=s1>I bother saying this because when the sports folks say "that shit never comes up," or "that's not something that's commonly said," I think something gets lost. It wasn’t the foul language or even the boasting about sexual liaisons, it was the part where raw power is used to ignore preference. Sports stars are usually near a reporter in the locker room (one of the quotes above was an interview in a locker room), so - no - that wouldn't likely come up.</span></div><div class=p1><br></div></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/politics/>politics</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2017/06/tired-of-panic-paris-climate-accord-edition/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Tired of Panic - Paris Climate Accord Edition</span></a>

an assistant pastor who quotes Leviticus to his gay sister and Rick Brinklan who puts patriotism and following a Republican president above all other political considerations. The political alignments on these character's other traits felt like caricature instead of character, which is sad because its the only other aspect (after the drugged narrative) that took me out of the story. There's a lot of politics in this story for it not to be about politics, and the static nature here is offset by the personal relationships.\nThere are friendships, loves, love affairs, fights, hugs, rape and lots of consensual sex. While it felt like a lot of sex (especially during the high-school years), the inter-personal relationships were dynamic, complex, and the emotions were nuanced. Relationships affected other relationships, affairs had consequences. Rape is not glorified but brutal, and the explanations, excuses and rumors felt all so real.\nWhile there aren't a lot of action sequences, the ones that exist were surprisingly easy to follow. I, as a reader, often have trouble following fast paced action sequences, and even the ones that occurred during the drugged narrative were crisp and clear, and I felt I understood what was happening the whole time.\nUltimately, this book explores the ripples that happen because of loss. A job, a whole factory, a lover gone away without explanation or a friend lost to war. Innocence less lost, but enthusiastically tossed aside, with the emotional consequences no less for irreverence. This exploration of loss is the theme within this book that really resonates with me. There's also a plot-line of this book that is a mystery, which will satisfy those who enjoy some mystery as well.\nI haven't figured out where to go with the actual rating of books on this blog. Despite my criticism, the overall story works, and I'm glad I stuck it out.\nI received the Advanced Reader's Copy of this book on the first day of BookExpo 2018, where it was one of the upcoming editor selections. For some reason, the one I grabbed had been signed by the Author \"for Kara\".\nOhio\nSimon \u0026 Schuster\nDrama\nExpected Release: 21 Aug 2018\nHardcover, 496 pages.\n ","wordCount":"669","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2018-06-27T12:00:00.001-04:00","dateModified":"2019-01-06T21:56:18.611-05:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/06/ohio/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

There's a lot of back and forth between the present and flashbacks. Always done at page gaps or chapter breaks, but it sometimes takes a page to figure out the timeline context. In the case of \"Grandpa\" it is present time, but it took me over half the book to figure that out.\nThe book stops telling a story, but I would call the ending an anti-climax. There were many sub-plots that were not properly wrapped up, and there was ongoing action that hadn't yet resolved. I'd go so far as to say the book ended with a soap-opera style cliffhanger, which is super out-of-place in a book that was otherwise well layered with action.\nThe last page, called Author's Note, basically just asks the readers to forgive the abrupt ending, claims that the next book will not wrap up any of the plot, but teases the next book anyway. That next book is called Moons of Jupiter, I own a copy, but given the Author's Note warning, I doubt I'm going to read it. The type of this book is almost twice as dense as any other book I've read published this century. The margins are smaller, the lines are packed tighter and the font point is smaller. There are no blanks in its 346 pages. This is the sort of book that a professional editor would have forced some major fixes on, and the book would have been SO much better for it. In the beginning of this book, I was confused by the introduction of words without context or definition. Here are several examples... Dragon \u0026 Ship (used interchangeably) leaves the impression that maybe they just call spaceships dragons, and that smaller ships that launch from the large ship are just called Fledgling simply because they are like the aircraft of a carrier. I went four pages not sure if the narration was talking about a seafaring vessel or a space craft. It took near a quarter of the book before it became clear that these spaceships are actual living beings, but have been fitted with interface equipment. Fieldpack, in this book, is a device that creates an atmospheric field around the user. I went through a quarter of the book thinking it was a military pack with mission necessary equipment, but that is what this book calls a flight bag. Jordan, in this book, is a designation for a dragon pilot, but not the pilot of the big dragon, that person is a captain. Dimlight, on the other hand, was introduced and explained through some really awkward dialog on page 9. Then on page 10, it was explained again with more detail (the lights dim at regular intervals to help with people's circadian rhythms - thus it is a Sci-Fi stand-in for \"day\"). Engineer, as if it should be obvious, is an elf that has kinetic abilities with metals. Basically the superpower of Marvel comics' Magneto without the evil intent or any of the action. I'm not sure why we were introduced to this character having to study star maps. Maybe he was originally going to be a navigator? I don't know, but I again appreciate the job a good editor does. Finally, I read the whole book, and I'm still not sure if a Troll is a living being or just a helper-droid with advanced AI. The frustrating thing is that the writing style itself is quite engaging. I never felt lost in the narrative, just lost on words and terms. Bottom line, I cannot recommend this book unless you really, really think that everything I described above sounds like the kind of ride you want. I purchased this book from the Author at Dragon Con in Atlanta back in 2015. \n Drawing the Dragon Self Published Science Fiction Released: 1 February 2011 Paperback, 346 pages.

If you enjoy Alt-History with a whisper of super-powers, I highly recommend this. If you are uncomfortable with the brutality of American and European history where it collides with Africa, then this is going to be outside your comfort zone, but I still recommend it.

There are many Filipino references that subtly suggest this book isn't meant for me. I don't mean to say that it is exclusionary, but it is definitely written in a way to not bother to introduce most words, phrases and Filipino cultural norms that I am not familiar with. I feel like - to get the full experience - I should read it with Google open nearby, or - more naturally - be from the Philippines. I read a lot, but I'm not that kind of advanced reader, so I just let the things I don't know wash over me in the comfort of knowing I don't need to know everything. Here's the thing - when I'm in a chapter (as opposed to the jarring start of a chapter, where I haven't figured out where or when I am) - the writing is very engaging, and the characters feel very natural for who and where (or what) they are. That said, the whole book is comprised of two parallel stories in two diverging and emerging screenplays of those stories, wrapped in a story of the two authors. Put another way, it's meta, sometimes self-referentially meta. It is also steeped in more than a little actual history of the islands, which is the part that most interested me (that is, the oldest, lowest level story).\nNow that I've finished reading this book, it started to make a lot of sense. I definitely feel it would all make sense if I read it a second time. That said... there's a lot of books in this world, and I'm not going to make the tiniest dent by revisiting this one. This is probably a great book to read while on the beach on a Philippines vacation, or if you live or have lived there. It is a decent book if you like to read about the ripple effects that historic events have on lives and cultural perception over time. If everything I wrote above gives you a headache, it's okay to skip this one. I came really close to giving up more than once, but I'm glad I read it. This is an advanced readers copy from BookExpo America, 2018. There are two things stamped on my copy that make me cautious about publishing a review. First are the words, \"ADVANCE UNCOPYEDITED EDITION\". Second is, \"do not quote from this galley\". No quotes are used so I hope it's Okay.

stories that I reviewed here. Read that first, without it, this will have little context.\nSeriously, the following is absolutely full of spoilers, and I don't want to hear about it. Well, for the stories that I actually like, I still try to keep them a little spoiler free, but the first story ... that one I lay out ALL the main points.\n\nYou Go Where It Takes You is the first story in the collection. It was both a monster as excuse and a first chapter. We follow a waitress and single mom. Our monster is this guy, when we first meet is described as ugly, that has the ability of changing skins, just pulling off his old skin and putting on another person. The monster is polite and honest. The waitress, overworked and stressed uses the trauma of watching this guy change skins to literally run away and dump her kid at a roadside rest. It threw me for a loop because there wasn't a warning that she was already that cracked.\nI am reminded of that moment in the first Men In Black movie at the first firing range test (( I found it )), where the Hero simply recognizes the aliens as just doing their thing. The presented monster is actually polite and simply weird, so I guess I saw him as red herring. The \"monster\" didn't convince her to run away from her life, she wasn't infected by something. That monster could have been a crack rock, and she'd have done the same. Maybe that is why I have so little patience for this story.\nIt was also a premise, a first chapter in that this could make a great larger story arc in so many directions. What happens to the child left behind? What other adventures does the skin changing monster have? When does the run-away mom find her past has caught up with her? We'll never know.\nI read this story in 2014, threw the book on a shelf and only recently picked it back up. I was THAT disappointed by the first story. Thing is, monster as red herring or MacGuffin, sets the tone for several other stories in this book.\nThe next story, Wild Acre, was definitely more of a thriller. It starts off as a werewolf story. A guy and his two employees sit at a construction site, staying in wait for vandals that had been breaking things at night. This guy goes into the woods to take care of personal business, and sees a kid turn into a werewolf, then kill his employees. He runs away in his truck, not even trying to use the gun he has on him. This happens at the very start of the story. The rest of the story is the spiral of PTSD this guy goes down and how he becomes a human monster. Unlike the first story, there was an evil trauma he witnessed. I didn't love it, but it didn't turn me off, and this is what got me to force myself to read the rest of the stories.\nS.S. is a story about a young man being recruited by a group of white supremacists and the very human need to belong. This story hits another one of my sour notes... when I cannot empathize with any of the main characters, I'm literally trying to figure out something to care about. The mother is a very interesting character who I would enjoy hearing a deeper story about, instead, she was a tertiary character at most.\nThe Crevasse, co written with Dale Bailey, brings the stress and wonder of a Lovecraft's Cthulu without the breaking of physics. Of all the stories, this one has the most impact on me. As with most of the stories here, I was left wanting to know more about the story, and what else happens to the people who we're introduced to, but the ending wasn't brutally cold (well, then again, it is set in Antarctica).\nThe award winning story, The Monsters of Heaven, was really not for me. Lack of empathy for the characters strikes again. I will give it this, it was disturbing in that I've thought of this story more than any other, and in this case it is straight up feeling bad for the monster.\nSunbleached is a vampire story, a story of loss, hubris and the angst of youth. This story sticks out as having a powerful ending. I liked this one a lot. This was scary like a movie. It had a Creepshow vibe.\nThe title story, North American Lake Monsters, similar to the first story, felt like a beginning of a premise instead of a fully realized story. I suppose these types of endings are supposed to leave me feeling haunted, but instead I feel like I lost out on hearing more. This was also a case of having no empathy for the main character, and I recognized him as waiting to be sprung. The monster, in this case, infected him, but somehow didn't seem to affect his daughter who first came into its contact.\nThe Way Station, is a very interesting story. It is about being haunted in a way that the haunting manifests itself into the real world. This story is a bit drunk and drug addled, and in this case the monster is human, actually a predator, AND not the main character.\nThe last story was The Good Husband. This was depressing. Wife kills herself, her husband finds her in time, but with this being the fourth attempt, he just wanders away and goes back to sleep. How's that for an empathetic character? When she comes down from the bathroom in the morning, asking for coffee, bloodless and cold things get weirder. The ending of this one was also cold and abrupt. There's really no resolution here, and I had no empathy for anyone but their daughter who was away at college.\nSo, there we go, a deep spoilery dive on what didn't work for me. Let me know if you want to see more of this.

that was also out-of-time order, but at least it was a single voice and viewpoint. This book left me with a mess of details, and I'd bet that two people could read this book at the same time, and come away to tell their own version of the story of Bowie in multiple ways, depending on which vignettes resonated with each reader.\nI tried to force myself through this book, but have put it down several times to read other things that have a straight forward narrative. This book forces you to pay attention, and I wouldn't call it a good summer read (that is, I actually started this book in mid-July). I got about half-way through this book before deciding I'd read enough of it to publish this review.\nSkip it even if you are seeking a narrative walk-through of Bowie's life. Read this if you are obsessed with all things David Bowie, and really want to get a very in-depth view from a lot of different voices.\nMy mother is a David Bowie fan, which means that I grew up with David Bowie albums being played. I am an admirer of Bowie's music, and made a habit of pointing out Bowie songs in public spaces to my wife, who once said that she didn't know any Bowie songs - now she knows that she'd always heard them. She bought me this book as a gift, and I feel bad that I don't love it. \nNote: the paperback and Kindle edition of this book is subtitled An Oral History, but it is the same book.\nDavid Bowie: A Life\nBiography\nCrown Archetype imprint of Penguin Random House\nReleased: 12 September 2017\nHardcover, 544 pages ","wordCount":"766","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2018-10-31T12:00:00-04:00","dateModified":"2018-10-31T12:00:00.584-04:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/10/david-bowie-a-life/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Each vignette starts with a name followed by a parenthetical as to what this person is in relation to Bowie. Very sparingly, there will be fully italic paragraphs where the author actually writes some narrative framework. Pointing out things that are important, but not illustrated in the vignettes. It took me until chapter 3 until I realized that this is what the italic sections were for.<br><br>The first chapter of vignettes was very difficult to read. Of course, the youngest part of anybody's life is the hardest to keep interesting. "<b>Nick Kent </b>(journalist)", who hadn't met Bowie, but saw him on TV at 17 representing, The Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men, said "...I remember thinking, Now, this fellow we'll probably be seeing again." At this, it was really hard to keep my eyes from rolling out the back of my head. There were even vignettes that simply talked about a neighborhood where he was living, without any direct connection to Bowie himself. Nothing much here but color commentary.<br><br>Starting in the second chapter, there are more vignettes from musicians who actually worked with Bowie, and those start to get interesting. Rick Wakeman, of Yes fame, is a stand-out for good short stories, and though his stories start in Chapter 1, they don't get good until Chapter 2, when he's talking about things that he was part of.<br><br>Another thing that goes on through these vignettes that overlap in time is that often two or three recollections of a person or event in Bowie's life will contradict each-other. Where this happens, there is no narrative interlude to give more information, just the confusion that we don't really know.<br><br>Bowie's first wife, Angie, was either "a snotty bitch" and "her own worst enemy" or "... if he hadn't met Angie, David might have continued as a sort of Bob Dylan type..." and "part angel" who "did more than her share of domestic chores". All I can get from this is that she rubbed some people the wrong way, and - more likely - people who liked her then came to dislike her after the divorce. Ultimately, I found the Angie bashing to be distracting more than enlightening, and it is just one early example of narrative contradictions.<br><div><br></div>Because the vignettes overlap in time, and often contradict each other in detail, the book is very hard to follow in a narrative sense. This is actually worse than the <a href=http://blog.vollink.com/2018/07/eye-marty-marty-feldman.html target=_blank>eyE Marty</a> autobiography; that was also out-of-time order, but at least it was a single voice and viewpoint. This book left me with a mess of details, and I'd bet that two people could read this book at the same time, and come away to tell their own version of the story of Bowie in multiple ways, depending on which vignettes resonated with each reader.<br><br>I <i>tried</i> to force myself through this book, but have put it down several times to read other things that have a straight forward narrative. This book forces you to pay attention, and I wouldn't call it a good summer read (that is, I actually started this book in mid-July). I got about half-way through this book before deciding I'd read enough of it to publish this review.<br><br>Skip it even if you are seeking a narrative walk-through of Bowie's life. Read this if you are obsessed with all things David Bowie, and really want to get a very in-depth view from a lot of different voices.<br><br><a name=more></a><i>My mother is a David Bowie fan, which means that I grew up with David Bowie albums being played. I am an admirer of Bowie's music, and made a habit of pointing out Bowie songs in public spaces to my wife, who once said that she didn't know any Bowie songs - now she knows that she'd always heard them. She bought me this book as a gift, and I feel bad that I don't love it. </i><br><br>Note: the paperback and Kindle edition of this book is subtitled An Oral History, but it is the same book.<br><br><a href=https://smile.amazon.com/dp/045149783X/David-Bowie-Life-Dylan-Jones target=_blank>David Bowie: A Life</a><br>Biography<br><a href=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/547491/david-bowie-by-dylan-jones/ target=_blank>Crown Archetype</a> imprint of Penguin Random House<br>Released: 12 September 2017<br>Hardcover, 544 pages</div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/biography/>biography</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/book-review/>book-review</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/11/google-cardboard-is-a-terrible-experience/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Google Cardboard is a Terrible Experience</span></a>

Even so, some of the stories in this book feel like a premise has been introduced, but not fully explored. All short stories can feel this way, but -- reading over my own reviews -- I have little patience for when a story lacks a full narrative arc, and there were some stories where I felt like I read a promising chapter one, leaving me cold.\nInside here, I disliked these stories: You Go Where It Takes You, S.S., The Monsters of Heaven, North American Lake Monsters and The Good Husband. This story was interesting, but not great: Wild Acre.\n Read this for The Crevasse, Sunbleached and Way Station if you find this collection on sale. As I note above, maybe the rest of this is exactly the kind of thing a horror fan might look for. At the same time, so many of these stories introduce something very strange or very interesting, steer the story around and away from that thing, while the short format doesn't allow those things to be expanded upon. Overall, I don't recommend this book.\n I'm actually quite tempted to do a spoilers version of this review to explain more on each of these stories from my perspective. Leave a comment if you are interested, or would rather I leave it spoilers completely off this blog.

Merlin in fantasy old England, complete with a mention of King Arthur's Court. This has nothing to do with the map, and that gave me the hope to keep reading. This turns out to tell the story of the birth of the actual main character, Morlock Ambrosius, son of Merlin Ambrosius and Nimue Viviana.\nThe book divides itself into four parts. The first part explains how the main character comes to be in, and introduces us to the world that the map describes... a world that is not fantasy old England or even Earth. At part two, we leave back-story and really get into the main part of the story. Dwarves, Wizards and, yes, dragons.\nThe world building is important to this story, but it's also good. Despite the Merlin reference, this is not a reused fantasy world of others. The dragons are not friendly or even sympathetic. The dwarves are not overly talkative. There are no elves in this story. The dragon lore in this book is a very interesting take, and I find that I'm quite fond of this version. I'll note that guile is used as a collective noun, as a herd of cows or murder of crows, but also implies a social structure.\nAfter finishing the book and preparing this review, I found out that Morlock is a main character in some of James Enge's other books as well, meaning that this book is an origin story. Here's the cool thing, besides being disappointed with the Merlin / Arthur tie-in, I didn't notice this was an origin story (and those are the best kind).\nThere are definitely parts of the story that are left unexplained. Not plot holes, but points of resolution that I wish had been further explained. Knowing that this character appears in other books, I find myself wondering if these are story points in other books, or things specifically being left for future books to explore. It's a suspicion I would not have if this were a stand-alone book, but I feel it, so I felt I should mention it.\nThere is exactly one passage in this book that allows it to pass the Bechdel test, and it's singularity stuck out to me. I don't think that I usually notice these things, but the one passage was distinct enough that it stuck out as being too lonely among many great opportunities for - you know - more simple exposition between two women.\nRead this book if you are looking for a different fantasy space, and a male point of view. Skip this book if an overly male point of view bothers you. Honestly, this is the reason I'm not likely to seek out more books from this author. The story telling is great, but it's almost all guys.\nI bought this from a Pyr Publisher's booth at some convention in 2012 or '13. I really can't remember which, but I do remember that one of the Publisher's reps recommended this book to me after asking me what other books I've liked. It's been at least 5 years...

character. This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.\nThere is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story. Each chapter is unusually episodic, in that some small part of the last scene of a previous chapter will be often be repeated at the beginning of the next. This took a little getting used to, but I imagine is much easier for readers who are going to read one chapter, and put the book down for a day or two.\nLike much of my my favorite Sci-Fi, this book explores racial tensions and cultural wounds through the lens of the far off and vastly different. The character Binti's understanding of mathematics and electronics is described as magical, as if some humans evolved to be able to create and control electrical currents in their mind. It does a great service to explaining how distant future culture and humans have become from what we are used to now.\nThis is a great story, but is very brief, and suspect the book may have been better had it been a little bit longer. More world-building could have dropped in the first few chapters before the story really got going. The strength of this story is Binti's internal monologue, and how she navigates through harrowing tragedy and survival itself. I look forward to reading Binti: Home, the second book in the trilogy.\n Book 2 Cover Trigger warnings for terrorist violence and detailed gore. Read this if you like space-drama and stories that don't feature a love triangle (as so much YA does). Skip if Sci-Fi really isn't your thing.\n-----------\nBinti: Home Binti: Home picks up nearly a year after the end of the first book, and follows Binti and Okwa (her Alien friend) on a visit back to Earth. The book is much longer than the first, and it does not have the episodic repeating of the last scene that the first book occasionally had.\nThere are seeds from book 1 that are mined and expanded, but the style of world building as the story unfolds is very useful as new elements are revealed and used as the story expands. This book continues to follow Binti's internal monologue and highlights the amount of change in who Binti is after the trauma of book 1.\nThe themes from book 1 are still there, but this book's theme seems to focus more on family bonds (and family fractures). This book ends on a very dramatic cliff-hanger, and really does not feel like a complete story.\nWhile it is possible to read book 1, and be satisfied with a story I don't recommend reading book 2 unless you are committed to also reading book 3, and ... maybe read my review of book 3 (just below).\n Book 3 Cover ----------\nBinti: The Night Mascarade\nBinti: The Night Masquerade picks up a heartbeat after Binti: Home, and Binti is still on Earth, but as she joins the tribe of her paternal grandmother, her nuclear family is in dire trouble. This third book is over twice as long as the first novella.\nThe first half of this book (maybe a little more than half) feels like the conclusion of Binti: Home. The second half feels like a different short story. I suspect that this book is delineated in the way it is because the theme focus is on intersectionality (and how much heartbreak comes from those who do not understand).\nI would have been more satisfied with the story had this book ended in the middle. The second half felt a little too much like it was pushing for a happy ending, and maybe in sensing that it was going too far, ended on a bittersweet note.\nAfter three books, this universe seems very ripe and full of subtleties. I really enjoy Binti's personality, but I feel like I was done with Binti's story in the middle of this book. That is, I would live to read about other characters in this universe. I want to know of the adventures of other alien races, some of which were even hinted about in these stories.\nOverall, I'm happy I read these books, but I can't say I recommend the second two as much as I'd highly recommend book 1. I think, perhaps, I feel the second half of this book really needed some technological foreshadowing. This is a place where the unfolding of world building along side the plot does a disservice to the reader. For me, at least, there is a point in the book that broke my suspension of disbelief.\nBinti\nScience Fiction,

We are presented with a wide array of new characters on this new world, like the Jedi Rael Averross, who has been the regent of Pijal for the last 8 years, and the escaped slave Rahara Wick. Count Dooku, Qui-Gon's former master also makes some important appearances in this story, which broadens the sense of the Title as well. There is a strong theme around slavery in the Star Wars universe throughout this novel which is a fairly major plot point within the story and is shown as a shining red flag on the corruption within the late republic. I feel I could write a lot about the dynamics of this theme, but it's better to simply suggest; pick up this book. As in her previous Star Wars novels, Claudia Gray is a master at weaving the deep politics of Star Wars into the story. To me, politics was the primary thing the prequels were not very good at showing in a compelling way. Here, the politics really bring the Star Wars story out of space fantasy and firmly back into what science fiction is best at. Here is a mirror to our current selves. It turns out that Claudia Gray has become my favorite author. I await each book that comes out. Read this book if you like Star Wars and want more stories about the background of Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan. I do not think it is necessary to know the characters before reading this book, as the movies did a poor job of really exploring their personalities anyway. It is okay to skip this book if you aren't a fan of Star Wars. That said, even though I'm not in love with the prequels, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it as a good piece of science fiction.

They are sent to a planet, Pijal, that we haven't seen before, which really is a great way to see the author's creativity.</div><div><br></div><div>We are presented with a wide array of new characters on this new world, like the Jedi Rael Averross, who has been the regent of Pijal for the last 8 years, and the escaped slave Rahara Wick. Count Dooku, Qui-Gon's former master also makes some important appearances in this story, which broadens the sense of the Title as well.</div><div><br></div><div>There is a strong theme around slavery in the Star Wars universe throughout this novel which is a fairly major plot point within the story and is shown as a shining red flag on the corruption within the late republic. I feel I could write a lot about the dynamics of this theme, but it's better to simply suggest; pick up this book.</div><div><br></div><div>As in her <a href=https://blog.vollink.com/2018/10/bloodline-by-claudia-gray.html target=_blank>previous</a> Star Wars <a href=https://blog.vollink.com/2018/09/leia-by-claudia-gray.html target=_blank>novels</a>, Claudia Gray is a master at weaving the deep politics of Star Wars into the story. To me, politics was the primary thing the prequels were not very good at showing in a compelling way. Here, the politics really bring the Star Wars story out of space fantasy and firmly back into what science fiction is best at. Here is a mirror to our current selves.</div><div><br></div><div>It turns out that Claudia Gray has become my favorite author. I await each book that comes out.

As I also said in my review of Peter Pan, the slur was as much a disservice to black Americans then (only a decade from emancipation) as it is today.\nThe villain of the novel is Injun Joe, referred to as half-breed without explanation as best as I recall. Not quite as painful as Peter Pan, but still several \"Indian\" stereotype checkboxes are used for this character.\nA modern reader literally has to \"get over\" both of these things to be able to see the story. Yet, this story has both of these things, and I suddenly understand why I've never heard the story before. It is an archive of prejudices that went out of style for mainstream America before I was born, featuring the title character lying, skipping school, stealing, running away, smoking tobacco and somehow, ending up without lasting consequence.\nPast the prejudices, the writing is good, and mostly everything feels like it could have happened. The first half of the book drags on, and there isn't much adventure, mostly endless mischief. Tom Sawyer does grow some in the book, but not as much as I'd expect. This book kept my interest, but mostly because of the historic context. This is, in part, how children acted in the 1830s, and what a small Missouri town about a mile off the Mississippi river was like. Many of the places written about are real, and I'm fond of history.\nUltimately, I cannot recommend the book. There were parts of it that I enjoyed, but the parts that made me uncomfortable pretty much outweigh the overall experience. If you've read the book, and think I have it wrong, let me know...

This book is subtitled: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class. This is a book about politics, personal history of the author and the economic history of the country along with ample explanation of why the past matters today. This book does not shy away from discussing racial economic disparity. Though, I definitely feel it could have gone much deeper into those subjects (as I don't think that past is well understood by most). Overall, this is about the author trying to sell us her plan for the future, and it lays out a good narrative that moves between individual voters that the author has talked to, and how the economic changes of the past have directly affected those people. This is then followed up with political policy statements. Often, this is re-instating protections that have eroded in the last 50 years, but with modifications that acknowledge racial and gender disparities of those past policies. Personally, I have found this book to be quite compelling, and to my mind, Elizabeth Warren is the front-runner. That said, this is mostly because she has actually put in the time to make actual policy statements, and directly talk about the plans that she would support. Most other candidates aren't to that point yet (and some may never get there). She's done her homework, and is serious. Recommended: assuming you can deal with some politics. There are enough personal touch-points in here to keep my attention (which is rare with a political book). Skip it if you just don't have the emotional bandwidth for this sort of thing. There are certainly many things pointed out about the current state of this country that had me feeling quite angry, and I totally get that not everyone can handle reading a deep dive on all the things that have gone awry on our way to this point.

Yet, most of the advice out there on how to deal with this suggests hard-coding these escape sequences directly into your prompt. This is great, and probably will work just fine, but I find it to be painful. On the off-chance such a prompt is ever tried on a terminal that uses a different terminal command language, there's a decent chance the prompt will look like garbage. Of course, linux has a whole dictionary of terminal types (terminfo) and a bunch of tools around that. BASH Prompt: PS1 Generally, the PS1, or primary prompt for the user is set by the system in /etc/profile or one of the files in /etc/profile.d/, and a user can override that prompt in a ${HOME}/.bash_profile or .bashrc file. A common default prompt is PS1='\\u@\\h:\\w$ ' as in: username@hostname:/home/username$ The important bit about embedding colors in a PS1 is to tell the shell that the characters it is sending out to the terminal are not actually advancing the cursor (this is important for command line editing, and long commands that wrap on the terminal). Every command sent to the terminal needs to be wrapped in escaped brackets; '\\[\\]'. Here is an embedded \"reset to default\" escape sequence within escaped brackets. PS1='\\[\\033)B\\033[0m\\]\\u@\\h:\\w$ ' TPUT The 'tput' command is available on all Linux, and most UNIX systems. My warning here is, like terminal escapes themselves, tput has its own weird language for settings. setting a red foreground color using tput, and then setting it back, looks like this: PS1='\\u@\\h:\\w$ '\nuser@host:/home/user$ tput setaf 1 user@host:/home/user$ tput sgr0 user@host:/home/user$ In this example, the prompt isn't trying to control the colors yet, and we can see that the last color that the terminal was told to deal with become the default color for everything until something changes it. My .bashrc I have a chunk in my .profile where I literally set the colors and other attributes I can use. If a terminal types does not have a command that matches one of these, then the shell variable will end up empty. _TM_TX=$(tput setaf 7|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_RD=$(tput setaf 9|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_GR=$(tput setaf 10|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_YL=$(tput setaf 11|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n#_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 12|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 45|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_PP=$(tput setaf 13|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_TL=$(tput setaf 14|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_ITAL=$(tput sitm|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_BOLD=$(tput bold|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM__=$(tput sgr0|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g') # RESET\nif [ ! -z \"$_TM_TX\" ] then _PS_TX=\"\\[${_TM_TX}\\]\"\nfi if [ ! -z \"$_TM_RD\" ] then\n_PS_RD=\"\\[${_TM_RD}\\]\"\n _PS_GR=\"\\[${_TM_GR}\\]\"\n_PS_YL=\"\\[${_TM_YL}\\]\"\n_PS_BL=\"\\[${_TM_BL}\\]\"\n_PS_PP=\"\\[${_TM_PP}\\]\"\n_PS_TL=\"\\[${_TM_TL}\\]\"\nfi if [ ! -z \"$_TM_ITAL\" ] then\n_PS_ITAL=\"\\[${_TM_ITAL}\\]\"\nfi if [ ! -z \"$_TM_BOLD\" ] then _PS_BOLD=\"\\[${_TM_BOLD}\\]\"\nfi _PS__=\"\\[${_TM__}\\]\"\nPS1=\"${_PS_GR}\\u${_PS__}@${_PS_BL}${_PS_BOLD}\\h${_PS__}:${_PS_TL}\\w${_PS__}\\$ \" There's a repeating sed command here. What this does is it takes any escape characters in the output, and replaces them with an escaped octal for the escape key. This means that one can still echo $PS1 and see what the codes actually look like. I'm using a light blue from the 255 color palette because I use a dark background on all of my terminals. This also means I'm at risk of having no color at all for elements that I expect to be blue. References For tput subcommand info: see this terminfo manpage (using the cap-name column, and Color Handling). For setaf (or, background: setab) values, I use this color chart from Wikipedia.

This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986. If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you'll note that I get picky when time starts jumping around, and I'm really happy to say that this book gets this simple detail absolutely right: Every chapter title includes the year....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2019-01-09 12:00:00 -0500 -0500">9 Jan 2019</span> · 3 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/01/hotel-on-the-corner-of-bitter-and-sweet/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] Euphemania by Ralph Keyes</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism. This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history. It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay. Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986. If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you'll note that I get picky when time starts jumping around, and I'm really happy to say that this book gets this simple detail absolutely right: Every chapter title includes the year....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2019-01-09 12:00:00 -0500 -0500">9 Jan 2019</span> · 3 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/01/hotel-on-the-corner-of-bitter-and-sweet/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] There There by Tommy Orange</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book cover I will start by noting that this book started slow for me. It took me over two weeks to read the prologue up through the fourth chapter. Once I passed that, I read the next 80% of the book in two days finishing on a third.

Pizzaniste had really good pizza. Gourmet, all fresh ingredients, coal fired, whole-wheat crust as an option; even gluten free as an option. Partly because they also made custom fresh salads, there were some unexpected ingredients: Real anchovies, fresh basil, artichokes, black beans, corn, cilantro, carrots, chickpeas, eggplant, hard-boiled egg, zucchini and two types of olives to choose from (along with all the other things you might expect every pizza place to have)....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2018-07-07 12:00:00 -0400 -0400">7 Jul 2018</span> · 3 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Food] Homage to Pizza Gone By" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/07/food-homage-to-pizza-gone-by/></a></article></main><footer class=footer><span>© 2022 <a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/>On My Mind...</a></span>

This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986. If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you'll note that I get picky when time starts jumping around, and I'm really happy to say that this book gets this simple detail absolutely right: Every chapter title includes the year....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2019-01-09 12:00:00 -0500 -0500">9 Jan 2019</span> · 3 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/01/hotel-on-the-corner-of-bitter-and-sweet/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book cover (paperback) This is the 1989 book that later became a movie (which I never saw). This won the Booker Prize. We follow a quintessential British Butler named Stevens sometime after World War 2 on a journey to look up an ex-employee. The journey itself is beautifully and descriptively written.
