<description>I use Docker to run several microservices across my websites. Generally, they are standalone tools and demonstrations, mostly made to teach myself how to get these things done in microservices.
I recently came across the concept of utility containers. Up to now, all the containers I run are meant to run all the time, and be easily replaced by spinning up a replacement container. Utility containers, on the other hand, are literally containers that hold the bits needed to process input data into output data, do that process, then exit.</description>

<description>Title Illustration I read somewhere that the story of Disney's Frozen was based on this book, so I decided to read and review it for this blog.&nbsp; &nbsp;I want to be clear that there is almost nothing that the story of Frozen has left in common with this original fairytale, except for a talking reindeer.&nbsp; This is a short read, and I've linked to the full text via Project Gutenberg in the book information block below.</description>

<description>Book cover The Graveyard Book isn't a horror novel, but it is absolutely goth and macabre. The story follows a boy from 18 months old when his whole family is murdered and he wanders off into the night through his childhood as he is raised in a graveyard by two ghosts and a vampire as guardian (who supplies physical things, like food and clothes).&nbsp; At one point, we meet a werewolf and ghouls as well.</description>

<description>Book Cover Elizabeth Warren is running for president, and pretty much every candidate writes a book prior to running.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's a good way to let folks know where they are coming from, and do so in a long format, unfiltered by the journalist's desire to pare things down into sound-bites. This book is subtitled: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a children's (6 to 10 years) book about leadership, the subtitle is Leadership With Elsa.&nbsp; While recapping the story of Disney's Frozen, it is a combination of pointing out leadership traits within the story,&nbsp;and&nbsp;pop-up video&nbsp;style call-outs to movie related facts.&nbsp; Because this is an educational title riding on top of the fictional story of Frozen, it is categorized as a non-fiction book.</description>

<description>Book Cover This is the final book of the Defy the Stars trilogy (start with reviews of book one and two).&nbsp; There are probably mild spoilers for the first and one major spoiler for the second book in this review of book three, so please proceed with that in mind.

<description>Book cover Originally a play, then released in book form as Peter and Wendy, this book is the basis of Disney's cartoon movie, Peter Pan.&nbsp; The movie is surprisingly faithful to the book with the exception that Disney's version doesn't portray deaths that the book does.
Problematic doesn't begin to describe this experience.&nbsp; Like a lot of classic literature, defenders will point out that this is a product of its time.</description>

<description>Book cover Set before the first prequel movie, this book follows Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and his Jedi Apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a diplomatic mission set forth by the Jedi council.&nbsp; 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. 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This short book (novella) is the first in the trilogy.&nbsp; Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.
There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Defy the Stars trilogy.&nbsp; I recommend first reading my review of Defy the Stars before diving headlong into this review.&nbsp; Also, there may be mild spoilers of the first book in this review.&nbsp; I'm not sure that can be helped.
I recommend not reading Defy The Worlds until Defy The Stars has already been read.&nbsp; Like most sequels, this book could stand-alone, but there is not as much exposition and recap as I'm used to reading in sequels.</description>

<description>Book cover Subtitled, The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, this is a biography of a man that most Americans over 30 grew up watching as children on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which is a show that ran on US public television stations (PBS) for 31 years (1968-2001).
I cannot review this book without noting that Fred Rogers means a lot to me, as I watched his show regularly for many years.</description>

<description>Book cover Start from one mistake, one that is tragically common - becoming a parent a little to young.&nbsp; From that point, almost everything that can go wrong in someone's life while still making the best possible choice for the circumstance is laid out in the first four chapters of this book.&nbsp; This beginning is a treatise on despair and government anti-poverty programs.
The arc doesn't exactly get better from there, but it starts to be framed in a way that shows gratitude for the things that haven't gone completely wrong, though things do continue to go wrong.</description>

<description>Book cover This is the second book that I've reviewed by Naomi Novik, the first was&nbsp;Uprooted.&nbsp; At a high level, there are some parallels between these books, but they are definitely different worlds.&nbsp; Here's a quick overview of the setting:
A Jewish girl of about 16 named Miryam lives in a medieval small unwalled town with the name of either Pakel or Pavys, but the residents simply called it town which is a third of the way between two larger cities in the Kingdom of Lithvas.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Mortal Engines Quartet.&nbsp; For convenience, here is a link to my review of book 1, Mortal Engines, which I posted a month ago.
I'm going to start this review with a note about a changed name.&nbsp; The books were originally released in the UK with a character named Shrike.&nbsp; For the initial US release of the books, that character was renamed to Grike.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a different kind of book about business management.&nbsp; This book is not about success, at least not an initial success.&nbsp; Instead, this book is about continuing to succeed after that initial success.&nbsp; It does this by talking very candidly about narrowly averting complete failure.
The very beginning of this book does capture the early history of Pixar up through the release and success of Toy Story.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>

This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.&nbsp; 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.</description>

I categorize this book as a Memoir, mostly because it follows the narrative flow of a memoir.&nbsp; It starts out introducing the reader to Michael Bennett's childhood on a rural farm in the South, into college through the NFL, and discusses his own discovery of the importance of both support and activism on a number of issues of equality.</description>

I met Jeremy Dale with Kelly by his side on several occasions at various comic book conventions.&nbsp; I am always on the lookout for a well written all-ages comic book story, and I found Jeremy and Skyward when there were only two issues, self-published and in black and white.&nbsp; Later, I saw him at a different convention and got issue 3, and he said that issue 4 should be out by NYCC.</description>

<description>Book cover (paperback) This is the 1989 book that later became a movie (which I never saw).&nbsp; This won the Booker Prize.&nbsp; We follow a quintessential British Butler named Stevens sometime after World War 2 on a journey to look up an ex-employee.&nbsp; The journey itself is beautifully and descriptively written.
While the main thread is the journey, the bulk of the story is Stevens' recollection of his past.</description>

<description>Book Cover This follows four main characters who had gone to high school together back in the early 2000s, and on one night in 2013, all came back home to their hometown of New Canaan, Ohio.
After the prelude, the first section of the book follows Bill Ashcraft, a drifter who is loaded up on drugs.&nbsp; Appropriate to the character - for the parts where we are following his narrative - the story is jumping back and forth between his past and present with no direct warning in-between, full of non-sequiturs, and frankly - hard to follow.</description>

Despite what the numerous signs and dotted lines suggest, lanes are defined by the width of the vehicles next to you right now. 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.</description>

CHAIR is an offset platform for programming, which is specifically made to support a programmer's approach to offset horizontal surface interfacing to tables. It does not qualify as a fully integrated development environment, but instead is a purpose built platform for supporting a programmer without getting in the way of what the programmer does best! 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.</description>

Keep your personal drama problems off of Facebook. Do not write an ambiguous post just so the first commenter will have to ask, "What do you mean?" Learn how to use the privacy features of Facebook and DO NOT leave your profile open to the public. 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....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2010-12-22 22:14:00.001 -0500 -0500">22 Dec 2010</span> · 4 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Facebook 101" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2010/12/facebook-101/></a></article><footer class=page-footer><nav class=pagination><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/page/24/>« Prev</a>

I firmly believe that most people are either, pretty much O.K. with the way most things are, or so apathetic to the possibility of change that they don't care.
Of this great majority, there is no reason to stand up and demand that things stay pretty much the same.

It does have a very nicely featured demonstration set.<br><br>I've mentioned this to some friends and colleagues, and instead of thoughts or experiences with this toolkit, I got back a whole bunch of comments about why I chose to work with Dojo and not "
<span style=font-style:italic>my favorite toolkit, x,</span>
" where X is either a larger distribution that includes Dojo, or a smaller, more specialized distribution that I've never heard of. The other suggestion I keep hearing is "Prototype".<br><br>That I've never heard of 'x', shouldn't be surprising. While I've been doing web pages and light web programming for some years, I've only done very lightweight JavaScript. I've never done anything with Ajax, for example. I've done pre-load and post-load things, but none of this requires a toolkit.<br><br>Anyway -- it's not that I don't want to hear about toolkits, but there is a certain undeniable power to a decent demonstration set -- not just a verbose description.

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 also don't have an internet connection at home, so I've been neglecting this blog. It's not that I haven't seen anything of interest lately, and it's not that I've had nothing to say. I've just been busy.\nFirst -- I lost my TV. Not really that I lost a TV. I don't have one, but I did have a TV capture card, and I was able to get over-the-air signals with it. However, overpowered USB hub, new, and the little thing is dead. Lost.\nSecond -- I lost my wireless keyboard and mouse. It was connected to the same USB hub as my TV capture card. I now have a keyboard and mouse that probably work just fine, but the little receiver thing is completely dead.\nThird -- I think the power-supply that came with my brand-new little USB 2.0, 7 port hub was grossly overpowered. I no longer have a receipt for that little USB hub, but I don't care about the loss of the $15 that this little thing itself represents (see items above). I do have several friends who - in some cases - have more than one of the EXACT SAME model USB hub as I do, and have had very good luck with them. So, I'm not going to actually mention the name. I will say that you should use caution when plugging any expensive USB device into a new hub. Maybe try it on a $10 keychain drive first. Just a suggestion.\nFourth -- Taxes hurt this year. Taxes hurt a lot this year. Long story, and I'm not going to go into gory details.\nFifth -- Work. Oh my god, things have been stressful at work lately. There have been a lot of people shuffling around, and there's a new boss in the office, and everyone has been doing too many things, in too little time. Then there is this looming threat that this office might be moved entirely.\nSixth -- Friends. I have found some very good friends recently. Some are people who have been aquaintences for some-while, others are relatively new to me. They have all helped keep me sane, so ...

I also don't have an internet connection at home, so I've been neglecting this blog. It's not that I haven't seen anything of interest lately, and it's not that I've had nothing to say. I've just been busy.<br><br>First -- I lost my TV. Not really that I lost a TV. I don't have one, but I did have a TV capture card, and I was able to get over-the-air signals with it. However, overpowered USB hub, new, and the little thing is dead. Lost.<br><br>Second -- I lost my wireless keyboard and mouse. It was connected to the same USB hub as my TV capture card. I now have a keyboard and mouse that probably work just fine, but the little receiver thing is completely dead.<br><br>Third -- I think the power-supply that came with my brand-new little USB 2.0, 7 port hub was grossly overpowered. I no longer have a receipt for that little USB hub, but I don't care about the loss of the $15 that this little thing itself represents (see items above). I do have several friends who - in some cases - have more than one of the EXACT SAME model USB hub as I do, and have had very good luck with them. So, I'm not going to actually mention the name. I will say that you should use caution when plugging any expensive USB device into a new hub. Maybe try it on a $10 keychain drive first. Just a suggestion.<br><br>Fourth -- Taxes hurt this year. Taxes hurt a lot this year. Long story, and I'm not going to go into gory details.<br><br>Fifth -- Work. Oh my god, things have been stressful at work lately. There have been a lot of people shuffling around, and there's a new boss in the office, and everyone has been doing too many things, in too little time. Then there is this looming threat that this office might be moved entirely.<br><br>Sixth -- Friends. I have found some very good friends recently. Some are people who have been aquaintences for some-while, others are relatively new to me. They have all helped keep me sane, so ... Thank you.<br><br>Finally, the "lowest" high for the rest of the week will be 57.

I will now be one of the countless hoardes that puts my passwords on a sticky note above my notebook's keyboard.\nI have 9 separate password/account combinations at work. Some of them force me to change them every 6 weeks, others force me to change them every 3 months. Some of these require punctuation characters, mixed case and numbers, some of these do not require anything but letters. I could handle this, because none of the systems (at work) deny the use of punctuation or numbers in the passwords. There is ONE account that does not handle a password longer than 8, but that one (at least) ignores anything typed longer than 8.\nI have, for the last 3 years or so, used basically the same password on all of my \"important\" accounts, with very minor variations. Because of the policies in place, I have been in the habit of changing my password monthly, at the first, and integrating the month itself into the password. This, typically, changes three characters of the password, and allowed me to have a secure password that I had otherwise memorized. So, now the policy has changed again, to where three letters is no longer good enough. Now it has to be five.\nNone of this stuff is REALLY that important, is it?\nWorse, I used to be Director of IT for a former employer. I know this stuff. I know there is a better way. I know why my new solution is \"bad for the company\". Yet, when I WAS in IT, I did everything in my power to make sure that once someone chose a decent password, that it would be the same password on all the systems, and that I wouldn't force people to change it all the time. EVEN THERE, I found passwords taped to near 30 different laptops (with a corporate population of around 100). If I could figure out that people easily give up trying to protect passwords, then why do all the major corporations have these terribly inconvenient policies in place?

I will now be one of the countless hoardes that puts my passwords on a sticky note above my notebook's keyboard.<br><br>I have 9 separate password/account combinations at work. Some of them force me to change them every 6 weeks, others force me to change them every 3 months. Some of these require punctuation characters, mixed case and numbers, some of these do not require anything but letters. I could handle this, because none of the systems (at work) deny the use of punctuation or numbers in the passwords. There is ONE account that does not handle a password longer than 8, but that one (at least) ignores anything typed longer than 8.<br><br>I have, for the last 3 years or so, used basically the same password on all of my "important" accounts, with very minor variations. Because of the policies in place, I have been in the habit of changing my password monthly, at the first, and integrating the month itself into the password. This, typically, changes three characters of the password, and allowed me to have a secure password that I had otherwise memorized. So, now the policy has changed again, to where three letters is no longer good enough. Now it has to be five.<br><br>None of this stuff is REALLY that important, is it?<br><br>Worse, I used to be Director of IT for a former employer. I know this stuff. I know there is a better way. I know why my new solution is "bad for the company". Yet, when I WAS in IT, I did everything in my power to make sure that once someone chose a decent password, that it would be the same password on all the systems, and that I wouldn't force people to change it all the time. EVEN THERE, I found passwords taped to near 30 different laptops (with a corporate population of around 100). If I could figure out that people easily give up trying to protect passwords, then why do all the major corporations have these terribly inconvenient policies in place?</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/human-nature/>human nature</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/it/>it</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2010/06/crazy-morning-getting-better/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Crazy Morning, Getting Better</span></a>

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.

Seems this is basically followed, except by:</li><ul><li>Bicycles</li><li>Mopeds</li><li>Motorbikes</li><li>Autorickshaws</li><li>Cars that are small enough that they can "probably" not cause too much of a tie-up by going in the wrong direction</li><li>...Even on a divided highway.</li><li>...It still causes major tie-ups.</li></ul><li>Pedistrians cross the street in designated crosswalks</li><ul><li>and in non-designated cross-walks</li><li>and in front of on-coming traffic</li><li>and where-ever pedestrians can walk.</li><li>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.</li></ul><li>Pedestrians walk on the right side, left side or between ever-shifting lanes.</li></ul><div>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:</div><div><ul><li>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.</li><li>If you are about to overtake (pass another vehicle), honk so they know to watch for you.</li><li>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.</li><li>If you come upon one of the pedestrians, also honk, even if they see you, and are getting out of the way.</li><li>Stray dog crossing the road, yes, honk. There are more stray dogs here, than anywhere else I've been.</li><ul><li>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.</li></ul></ul><div>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.</div></div><div><br></div><div>...Even while driving.</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/driving/>driving</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/india/>india</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2010/12/christmas-time-is-nigh/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Christmas Time Is Nigh</span></a>

My room rate, at the hotel I'm staying in, comes with free Breakfast, so that's the one meal I will always eat at the hotel.\nTwo days ago, there was a dish at the breakfast buffet. Barbecue Beef. I realized at that moment that it was the first time since I've been here since I've even seen the option of having beef. That is, I hadn't noticed it was missing, until I saw it, and it seemed out of place.\nNaturally, I grabbed some. It wasn't very good. I decided I'd stick with lamb and chicken for the rest of this trip. Turns out, I don't like beef in Bangalore.\nI've since been told that the McDonald's here do not have beef as an option.

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\".

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.

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>

Forward this story, and maybe some people will listen and be able to help a little bit.<br><div style=margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0><br></div><div style=margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0>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?</div><br>-----------------------<br><br>I have known Simon's father for over 19 years. He is, in my opinion, good people. I am just doing what I can.

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.

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.<br><br><a href=http://blog.vollink.com/2011/01/spreading-word-for-simon.html>Maybe one of those spending cuts will include my friend's job.</a> All the talk about government workers, and government spending, usually forgets that this is directly screwing with people's lives.</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/money/>money</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/news/>news</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/2011/07/google-or-not/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Google+ or Not</span></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.

Enable confidence in the person taking over, instead of deference.<br><br><a name=more></a><br>I 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.<br><br>22 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.<br><br>Management, 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.<br><br>I 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.<br><br>This 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.<br><br>As 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.<br><br>With 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.<br><br>Now 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.<br><br>Make 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.<br><br>As 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.<br><br>In 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.</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/work/>work</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2015/02/manhattan-flagship-stores-are-not-for-me/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Manhattan Flagship Stores Are Not For Me</span></a>

Maybe I mis-read something, but watch for those.<br><br><br><a name=more></a><i>I bought this book from the author on the evening before BookCon started, she was staging her table stuff in the lobby of the Javits Center as I was leaving from the last day of Book Expo.</i><br><br><a href=https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1999963393 target=_blank>Catching Stars</a><br>Oftomes Publishing<br>Fantasy<br>Released May 8, 2018<br>Paperback, 352 Pages</div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/book-review/>book-review</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/recommend/>recommend</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/science-fiction/>science-fiction</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/sff/>sff</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/06/ohio/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>[Book] Ohio by Stephen Markley</span></a>

This book is in desperate need of editing. I fully understand why it was published the way it was, but it was one of the hardest books to read that I've ever sat down for. Here's the thing, I love the comedies he's written for, and I love the comedies he's acted in, but I cannot recommend this book. Maybe, though, this is exactly what you want to read. eyE Marty is very much like sitting down in front of someone you don't know very well, and having him simply tell you his entire life story. It is conversational in tone, which also means that the timeline slips back and forth with little notes like, \"before I get to that, I have to go back a few years to mention...\" At which point, conversationally, I wanted to say, \"Wait, what year?\" But nobody can answer my inquiry. It's also not always clear when the back-story is finished and we've come back into the \"current\" timeline. The greatest value of this book, is the foreword by Eric Idle. The foreword is enlightening in its explanation of the things that happened after Marty finished this book. It was finished just before he left for Mexico to film what would become his last movie, Yellowbeard. Also, the foreword was well edited. Well, at very least, here is a nod to all the book editors out there. You folks rock! Thanks for keeping the narrative flowing.\n Eye Marty\nRare Bird Books\nAutobiography\nReleased: 10 May 2016\nHardcover, 320 pages ","wordCount":"318","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2018-07-04T12:00:00-04:00","dateModified":"2019-01-06T21:58:37.101-05:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/07/eye-marty/"},"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>

He died in 1982, and his autobiography sat in the attic of his widow's home until her death in 2010 when it was discovered by Mark Flanagan. Flanagan had it transcribed, exactly as it was found, including photo inserts and published without further editing.</div><div><br></div><div>This book is in desperate need of editing. I fully understand why it was published the way it was, but it was one of the hardest books to read that I've ever sat down for. Here's the thing, I love the comedies he's written for, and I love the comedies he's acted in, but I cannot recommend this book. Maybe, though, this is exactly what you want to read.</div><div><br></div><div>eyE Marty is very much like sitting down in front of someone you don't know very well, and having him simply tell you his entire life story. It is conversational in tone, which also means that the timeline slips back and forth with little notes like, "before I get to that, I have to go back a few years to mention..." At which point, conversationally, I wanted to say, "Wait, what year?" But nobody can answer my inquiry. It's also not always clear when the back-story is finished and we've come back into the "current" timeline.</div><div><br></div><div>The greatest value of this book, is the foreword by Eric Idle. The foreword is enlightening in its explanation of the things that happened after Marty finished this book. It was finished just before he left for Mexico to film what would become his last movie, Yellowbeard.

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). The place also had the look of a high-end juice-bar. Tile and wood, clean glass in front of the food prep area. Ingredients in refrigerated buckets easily seen and identifiable by the consumer.<br><br>Pizzaniste was also surprisingly inexpensive (which may be part of their demise). They made these 12" personal pizzas, and their specialty vegetarian, "Veg Out" was $11.95. Less than $1 per inch. They had this huge bowl of Minestrone soup that they sold for $4.95. This place was excellent, and I would have paid half-again the price for anything I ordered there it was that good.<br><br>However, it wasn't greasy New York street-style pizza. The first thing I learned about this neighborhood is that the best rated pizza place around here is a place that absolutely specializes in street-pizza. At Louie & Ernie's Pizza, orange grease runs freely from a bent slice (no pepperoni required), just like they make it for the two buck slices in "the city". Street-pizza has its place, but I'm not in my 20s anymore, so I have to come at that sparingly. This neighborhood loves Louie & Ernie.<br><br>In their last week, one of their employees pulled me aside and said that I was the only customer who noticed that they were about to close. The signs were piling up fast. Early in the year, there were several weeks where several fountain drink flavors ran out. That was isolated, and eventually fixed, but ... a bad sign. About a month before they closed, their customer WiFi stopped working, then their branded cups ran out, replaced by cheap purple-green blotch design cups. I mentioned my suspicion to that employee, and he put on his best face, "they are on order". When their web-site went offline with no sign of returning, I was deeply concerned. The last time I went in, and they were out of Parmesan cheese I moaned at everyone, "Oh... it's really over." That's when he took me aside to tell me that they would be closing as soon as Thursday or Friday. They were already gone on Thursday evening.<br><br>My wife and I miss you, Pizzaniste.<br><div class=separator style=clear:both;text-align:center></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/restaurant-review/>restaurant review</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/07/the-remains-of-the-day/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>[Book] The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro</span></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.

First and foremost, these are Nordic tales. If you are familiar with these characters from Marvel comics or movies, be prepared to relearn a lot of what you thought you knew. This, in fact, was one of my favorite things about reading these stories. The stories are told in a way that makes chronological sense in that things that happen to each character stays with them in subsequent tales, (there's really only one glaring exception to this) though each one can totally be read on its own as well. Neil is a great story teller, and surprisingly there are points where I was pulled from the story by a needless repetition of fact - perhaps because he is telling these stories in a style reminiscent of the original sources: I'm not sure. What I can say is that if this had been my first introduction to this author, I wouldn't put him at the top of my list. That doesn't say this was a bad book - it really wasn't - it's just that I have lofty expectations for this author and this book isn't his best work. As this has sources, I am filled with the urge to find out more. I'm curious as to how close to the sources these tales actually are. So, while I might not recommend this as a first Gaiman novel, I would absolutely recommend it as an engaging introduction to the gods of Nordic legend.

Where surviving versions of a story differ, artistic license allows for the best of each to be used.</div><div dir=ltr><br></div><div dir=ltr>First and foremost, these are Nordic tales. If you are familiar with these characters from Marvel comics or movies, be prepared to relearn a lot of what you thought you knew. This, in fact, was one of my favorite things about reading these stories.</div><div dir=ltr><br></div><div dir=ltr>The stories are told in a way that makes chronological sense in that things that happen to each character stays with them in subsequent tales, (there's really only one glaring exception to this) though each one can totally be read on its own as well.</div><div dir=ltr><br></div><div dir=ltr>Neil is a great story teller, and surprisingly there are points where I was pulled from the story by a needless repetition of fact - perhaps because he is telling these stories in a style reminiscent of the original sources: I'm not sure. What I can say is that if this had been my first introduction to this author, I wouldn't put him at the top of my list. That doesn't say this was a bad book - it really wasn't - it's just that I have lofty expectations for this author and this book isn't his best work.</div><div dir=ltr><br></div><div dir=ltr>As this has sources, I am filled with the urge to find out more. I'm curious as to how close to the sources these tales actually are. So, while I might not recommend this as a first Gaiman novel, I would absolutely recommend it as an engaging introduction to the gods of Nordic legend.</div><div dir=ltr><br></div><div class=separator style=clear:both;text-align:center></div><div dir=ltr><a href=https://smile.amazon.com/dp/039360909X target=_blank>Norse Mythology</a><br><a href=http://books.wwnorton.com/books/978-0-393-60909-7/ target=_blank>W.W.

This book does have a narrative flow, better that a lot of the fiction books I've already reviewed, but it is the narrative flow of a documentary, moving from subject to subject, building knowledge.<br><br>Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the top science communicators alive today. And this book, physically small, is only about half the reading of another book with the same number of pages. It took me about a week to complete, and I definitely read non-fiction books much, much slower than I read fiction. This is as close to a page-turner of a non-fiction book as I've read since I read the <a href=https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0805072535/Quark-Jaguar-Adventures-Simple-Complex target=_blank>Quark and the Jaguar</a>, around 7 years ago.<br><br>This book starts with chapters titles that invoke biblical parallels. Chapter one, The Greatest Story Ever Told, covers the big bang, introducing Plank and leaving me with many, many questions about the speed of light and how it's rules applied to the earliest moments of the universe.<br><br>The book then covers Isaac Newton's discoveries about gravity, and specifically the universality of gravity throughout the solar system, but thankfully avoids describing calculus itself. Moving back to the forming of the early universe, it covers the Cosmic Microwave Background and its origins.<br><br>The next three chapters cover the space between galaxies first establishing the basics then introducing us to Dark Matter and then Dark Energy. At the point where I was reading about these, my questions surrounding the limitations on the speed of light were still reeling in my head, and all this measured "extra" is a lot for my little brain to take in.<br><br>Chapter seven, The Cosmos on the Table, explores the stellar origins of the elements (those of the Periodic Table), which for me was a very welcome break from the abstract. Though not repeated in this book, it reminds me of the Carl Sagan quote, "We are all made of star stuff."<br><br>The next two chapters talk about Spheres and Invisible light. The stability of spheres as well as how rotation has a tendency to flatten a sphere into an oblong spheroid seems meant to explain the general shape of galaxies. Invisible light is a useful introduction to the instruments of modern astronomy beyond the visible-light telescope, including how each was discovered and how they are used.<br><br>Between the Planets, the 10th Chapter, tries to put into perspective how little the constituent parts of our solar system are in comparison to the Sun while Chapter 11, Exoplanet Earth, explores what our planet would look like from other stars and what methods might be used to figure out that there is life here.<br><br>In the 12th and final chapter, Reflections on the Cosmic Perspective, Tyson clearly shows that he is a disciple of Carl Sagan, linking the study of the Cosmos to the importance of stewardship of our tiny and fragile planet, while fostering a hopeful view on what we could accomplish. This is a very good round-up of the book.<br><br>Overall, I recommend this book if you found this review itself to be interesting. If, on the other hand, you generally find space to be an invitation to sleep, then it's okay to skip. I am glad I read it.<br><br><br><a name=more></a><i>Note to my readers (all three of you).

Because it is non-linear, it is not obvious when switching between past, one of two screenplays and the present. One has to carefully pay attention to the cast of characters to help determine *when* one is in the storyline. This is not terribly difficult, but I had trouble getting back into the story when I paused for 48 hours around the middle of the book. 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.

Read that first, without it, this will have little context.<br><br>Seriously, 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.<br><br><br><a name=more></a><br><br><b>You Go Where It Takes You</b> 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 <i>trauma</i> 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.<br><br>I am reminded of that moment in the first Men In Black movie at the first firing range test (( <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRXNNqNfQBs" target=_blank>I found it</a> )), 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.<br><br>It 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.<br><br>I 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.<br><br>The next story, <b>Wild Acre</b>, 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.<br><br><b>S.S.</b> 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.<br><br><b>The Crevasse</b>, co written with <a href=http://dalebailey.com/ target=_blank>Dale Bailey</a>, 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).<br><br>The award winning story, <b>The Monsters of Heaven</b>, 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.<br><br><b>Sunbleached</b> 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.<br><br>The title story, <b>North American Lake Monsters</b>, 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.<br><br><b>The Way Station</b>, 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.<br><br>The last story was <b>The Good Husband</b>. 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 <i>that</i> 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.

Jarringly, there are places where David Bowie's own statements are included. All of these vignettes are presented each in whole, collected into chapters into an approximate order as to when the main point of each vignette happened. 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.

All of this leaves me quite surprised that I really enjoyed this book. I read maybe 5 to 10 of the poems in here per day over the course of a few weeks, and while often bazaar or nonsensical, there are several poems in here that I think back on from time to time. Through this book, I've found an appreciation for this art-form. Ultimately, this is a very short read, but I recommend this. I recommend spacing it out, as I did. Also, I can't think of a good reason that you might want to skip this one.

Before this book, I had only seen erasure poetry in poster or postcard format. Kitch, at it's best. Also, I have very little patience for poetry. I've read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and never completely read any of the song-poems that are scattered throughout those volumes.</div><div dir=ltr><br></div><div dir=ltr>All of this leaves me quite surprised that I really enjoyed this book. I read maybe 5 to 10 of the poems in here per day over the course of a few weeks, and while often bazaar or nonsensical, there are several poems in here that I think back on from time to time.

The Difference Between Science Fiction and Fantasy To me, science fiction means that a story element that exists outside of the mundanely possible is specifically there to frame or force a change in the society portrayed in that story. Where I see fantasy as having extra-existent elements that are used as a backdrop and plot devices to move the story forward. This can be a thin line, which is why the two are often bundled under a single header. Star Wars, to me, is a fantasy. There are Jedi-Knights who can dabble in magic and fight with \"laser swords\". With some minor exceptions in the prequels, this magic isn't used as a way to show a societal shift, or show us what dilemmas might exist because such a thing exists. Instead, it is used as a plot device. Something for the hero to obtain on the hero's journey. With the exception of minor mentions in Rogue One, the terrible weaponry of the Death Star isn't explored in its affect on society, but as a weapon to be defeated before it causes more harm. Even mass cloning is mostly used to distance the audience from the number of deaths, not as an exploration of the moral implications of cloning itself. Star Wars doesn't directly face the societal implications of magic or cloning. It sure could have done a lot of exploration of the implications of a weapon that is able to destroy an entire planet, and why it is imperative to dismantle such things - no matter who has such a thing. In the middle of the Cold-War, maybe this was supposed to be an obvious connection, but nothing really talks to these parallels. It was not a moral choice about the weapon itself as much as it was a survival imperative to defeat the enemy by defeating the enemy's weapon. Oppositely, the movie Dragon Heart represents what I expect from Science Fiction. In that world, dragons exist, but have been hunted near extinction, mostly due to a misguided ruler. The movie shows a societal mirror to our own hunting of predator species like sharks or wolves, reflected in the Dragon's pleas to the benefits that dragons had brought. The hero of the movie is forced to face his own bias, and befriend the last dragon on earth, which is also a regular science fiction reflection on racism. Romantic \n Romantic does not necessarily mean romance. That is, none of the books I've so far reviewed include love triangles, but romance - or missed romance - is a major element of the plot.

Tragic-romance style, Henry's father absolutely hates all Japanese people, but Henry falls in love with Keiko anyway. Japanese Internment and Henry's father both get in the way.<br><br>This book has a wide cast of outstanding characters, and I will say, the night after I finished this book, I actually had a dream where I was trying to cast this book for a movie (So many great Asian actors come to mind, even while I'm awake). I liked this book so much, that I'm planning on reading and reviewing Jamie Ford's <a href=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/234461/love-and-other-consolation-prizes-by-jamie-ford/9780804176774 target=_blank>more recent novel</a>, too.<br><br>Really, the book title is a little too on the nose. This book is both heartbreaking and hopeful. I really loved it, and I strongly recommend it. Normally, I would set aside this little space for reasons why someone might decide to skip this book, but I can't think of any. I mean, I guess if you hate reading, but then you probably wouldn't be reading my very low traffic'd blog.<br><br><br><a name=more></a><br><i>This book was recommended to me by a former work colleague who I'm happily still in touch with.

The process is rarely the difficult part of fixing a problem.<br><br>A long time ago, when I was a team lead, the group I worked with had an automated build system that was extremely complicated, built entirely in-house, and didn't follow the conventions of any of the standard build-systems that exist. There was a steep learning curve to get new software packages into the system, and most developers never learned to do it. This also meant that when someone needed to introduce a project that didn't exist already, they'd often work-around the need instead of waiting for someone with knowledge to help.<br><br>At some point, the group hired a published tech-author who was a big open source advocate, and quite outspoken. Upon trying to interface with the build system, they loudly declared it broken, and suggested it should be fixed. Management above me said a very smart thing, "Okay, fix it."<br><br>Many months later, that person left the group, and the same build system was still there and there were not even any modifications done. Let me unwind what went wrong.<br><br>By most metrics, if a process is that hard, then it is objectively broken. That new employee was absolutely correct in the assessment. However, the process doesn't care. This group had over 200 distinct, but interrelated projects, which means that any replacement system would need to be configured for all of them. The process also had a custom syntactical structure to deal with a number of edge cases. This is both what made it maddeningly difficult to work with, but also what made it work well in that environment.<br><br>The process, like most, was built and maintained by people, most of whom were still sitting in that office. Generally, everyone who understood the custom build process deeply appreciated the many, many things it accomplished. Those who didn't need to learn the complexity of adding a new project didn't have a reason to care, but that also meant that those people weren't useful allies, since they didn't understand the full extent of what the process did.<br><br>This new person basically started by angering the very people who maintained this process. Those were the only people with the knowledge of the complexities that a new system would need to mitigate or replace. Once this person started working in earnest to replace the system, the complexities showed themselves randomly, and the original maintainers just stood back, waiting for the inevitable failure.<br><br>Here is the lesson I learned from watching this happen.<br><br><b>To affect change, you must acknowledge a process' power, and demonstrate understanding of its complexity before the process guardians will trust you to replace it.</b><br><div><br></div>If a process accomplishes nothing, it would have already been replaced. If a process exists at all, it accomplishes something, and it is probably there for a reason. Sometimes a strange or ugly process simply exists because of somebody who did something really dumb. As in, don't be the person who makes us write a rule.<br><br>If a process is terrible, ask open questions about why it is built the way it is. Most likely it is still there because it solves problems that other tools (even if they are newer) don't already solve. This is especially true when those processes bridge multiple other systems. Avoid criticizing a process, but ask pointed questions about the parts that are ugly.<br><br>On multiple occasions in the many years since, I've been able to use these lessons to fix or replace multiple processes in multiple places. In no case has the problem been a technical hurdle, but a problem of finding those who protect the process, and getting them on-board with fixing the deficiencies (even if they don't need to do the fixing, but just stop being protective). Sometimes this means a whole process replacement, but most often it has meant paying off technical debt (like major code refactoring or updating dependent systems), and implementing new interfaces into the existing processes.</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/human-nature/>human nature</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/2019/04/creativity-inc/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>[Book] Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace</span></a>

This takes some self-discipline that doesn't come easy, especially during an urgent investigation.<br><h3>Here's that one weird trick:</h3>I do the depth of reading myself. If I see multiple threads, I'll read all of them. Then I will write as short a summary of all of the facts that I can. Re-summarizing all of the relevant facts that have been shared, pointing out the places where multiple people or departments have a differing view of the facts, and sometimes suggesting a list of questions that should be put back to the customer (the person who is reporting the problem), will usually refocus and reinvigorate the investigation.<br><h3 style=text-align:left>Wait what?</h3>When something goes wrong, e-mails have a tendency of getting very long reply chains as people add a few sentences and add more people who might be able to help. This is pretty normal, and isn't actually a terrible way to go about finding a problem solution. The urgency is obvious, so most people just skim the top-most e-mails, and keep the chain moving.<br><br>On a normal day, few people will read e-mails beyond about two pages worth of text (some report as little as a paragraph). During a difficult or urgent problem, depth of reading is not likely to get better. I'm not here to lament this, it is just a fact about humans.<br><h3 style=text-align:left>Why?</h3>I started doing this back when I did product support (so long ago it doesn't even hit my resume anymore). It came from a place of wanting to be able to contribute even when I didn't know the answer myself. Sometimes by writing the summary, I would be able to see the actual problem and just answer with a solution. Most often, though, the questions I would come up with would lead directly to a solution. Frankly, it might be one of the things that I did that helped others think that I should be a manager.<br><br>Now, as a manager, I know that I am rarely going to have the answer, so it seems natural to continue doing the depth of reading and actually contributing back a summary and a few questions. That is, to me, the very act of trying to write a summary of a problem naturally leads to important insights into a problem.<br><h3 style=text-align:left>Problem space</h3>It would seem that the people who have been on the thread since the beginning would be annoyed at seeing all the things they already said be repeated. This has happened twice that I know of over the last 20 years. It has never happened when the summary also brings up a disparity of reported facts. In any case, I've taken to explicitly starting with a line similar to this, "I am summarizing this thread to clarify my understanding of what is going on here, and to introduce the problem to those recently added." I also find it very important to end with something like this, "If I have anything wrong, or I missed an important detail, please let me know."<br><br>Every time I've done this, it has led to immediate changes. First, it is a point where a large number of people can legitimately leave the investigation (even if they can just start ignoring the thread). That is, some folks who know they have nothing to do with the problem are literally only hanging on to make sure that their one piece of input was heard. Especially in cases where I am pointing out a dispute in the facts, a number of people will re-investigate the dispute. About half of the time, the problem itself lies within the dispute.<br><h3 style=text-align:left>Feedback</h3><div>Please ask questions if you have them.

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.

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.

It's a good way to let folks know where they are coming from, and do so in a long format, unfiltered by the journalist's desire to pare things down into sound-bites.</span><br><br><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle>This book is</span>
+subtitled:
+<span class=a-size-large id=productTitle>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).</span><br><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle><br></span><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle>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.</span><br><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle><br></span><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle>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.</span><br><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle><br></span><span class=a-size-large id=productTitle>Recommended: assuming you can deal with some politics.

These includes Windows Terminal (free from Microsoft on the Microsoft Store), Terminal.app (on macOS) and most terminals available under Linux. Further, most of these support emoji and 256 colors.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h2 style=text-align:left>BASH Prompt: PS1</h2><div>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 ${HOME}/.bash_profile or .bashrc file.</div><div><br></div><div>A common default prompt is
<span style=font-family:courier>PS1='\u@\h:\w$ '</span>
as in:</div><div><br></div><div><span style=font-family:courier>username@hostname:/home/username$ </span></div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>PS1='\[\033)B\033[0m\]\u@\h:\w$ '</div><h2 style=text-align:left>TPUT</h2><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>setting a red foreground color using tput, and then setting it back, looks like this:</div><div><br></div><span style=background-color:#000;font-family:courier>PS1='\u@\h:\w$ '<br>user@host:/home/user$ tput setaf 1</span><div><span style=background-color:#000;color:red;font-family:courier>user@host:/home/user$ tput sgr0</span></div><span style=background-color:#000;font-family:courier>user@host:/home/user$</span><div><br></div><div>In this example, the prompt isn't trying to control the colors yet, and we can see that the last color that the terminal was told to deal with become the default color for everything until something changes it.</div><div><br></div><h2 style=text-align:left>My .bashrc</h2><div>I have a chunk in my .profile where I literally set the colors and other attributes I can use. If a terminal types does not have a command that matches one of these, then the shell variable will end up empty.</div><blockquote><div><span style=background-color:#000>_TM_TX=$(tput setaf 7|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_RD=$(tput setaf 9|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_GR=$(tput setaf 10|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_YL=$(tput setaf 11|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>#_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 12|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 45|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_PP=$(tput setaf 13|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_TL=$(tput setaf 14|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_ITAL=$(tput sitm|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM_BOLD=$(tput bold|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g')<br>_TM__=$(tput sgr0|sed -e 's/\x1b/\\033/g') # RESET<br>if [ ! -z "$_TM_TX" ]</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>then</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000> _PS_TX="\[${_TM_TX}\]"<br>fi</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>if [ ! -z "$_TM_RD" ]</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>then<br> _PS_RD="\[${_TM_RD}\]"<br></span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000> _PS_GR="\[${_TM_GR}\]"<br> _PS_YL="\[${_TM_YL}\]"<br> _PS_BL="\[${_TM_BL}\]"<br> _PS_PP="\[${_TM_PP}\]"<br> _PS_TL="\[${_TM_TL}\]"<br>fi</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>if [ ! -z "$_TM_ITAL" ]</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>then<br>_PS_ITAL="\[${_TM_ITAL}\]"<br>fi</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>if [ ! -z "$_TM_BOLD" ]</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000>then</span></div><div><span style=background-color:#000> _PS_BOLD="\[${_TM_BOLD}\]"<br>fi</span></div></blockquote><blockquote><span style=background-color:#000>_PS__="\[${_TM__}\]"<br>PS1="${_PS_GR}\u${_PS__}@${_PS_BL}${_PS_BOLD}\h${_PS__}:${_PS_TL}\w${_PS__}\$ "</span></blockquote><p>There's a repeating sed command here.

<description>I use Docker to run several microservices across my websites. Generally, they are standalone tools and demonstrations, mostly made to teach myself how to get these things done in microservices.
I recently came across the concept of utility containers. Up to now, all the containers I run are meant to run all the time, and be easily replaced by spinning up a replacement container. Utility containers, on the other hand, are literally containers that hold the bits needed to process input data into output data, do that process, then exit.</description>

<description>Book cover I usually don't do the comparative thing, but this one stuck me pretty directly.&nbsp; Imagine the movie Crazy Rich Asians, but teenagers at a boarding school in the mountains outside of Aspen, with a broadly international cast.&nbsp; Main point: pretty much everybody is insanely rich.
The main character, Jaya Rao, is a princess from an old kingdom of India who is literally there to break someone's heart.</description>

<description>Title Illustration I read somewhere that the story of Disney's Frozen was based on this book, so I decided to read and review it for this blog.&nbsp; &nbsp;I want to be clear that there is almost nothing that the story of Frozen has left in common with this original fairytale, except for a talking reindeer.&nbsp; This is a short read, and I've linked to the full text via Project Gutenberg in the book information block below.</description>

<description>Book cover The Graveyard Book isn't a horror novel, but it is absolutely goth and macabre. The story follows a boy from 18 months old when his whole family is murdered and he wanders off into the night through his childhood as he is raised in a graveyard by two ghosts and a vampire as guardian (who supplies physical things, like food and clothes).&nbsp; At one point, we meet a werewolf and ghouls as well.</description>

<description>Book Cover Elizabeth Warren is running for president, and pretty much every candidate writes a book prior to running.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's a good way to let folks know where they are coming from, and do so in a long format, unfiltered by the journalist's desire to pare things down into sound-bites. This book is subtitled: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a children's (6 to 10 years) book about leadership, the subtitle is Leadership With Elsa.&nbsp; While recapping the story of Disney's Frozen, it is a combination of pointing out leadership traits within the story,&nbsp;and&nbsp;pop-up video&nbsp;style call-outs to movie related facts.&nbsp; Because this is an educational title riding on top of the fictional story of Frozen, it is categorized as a non-fiction book.</description>

<description>Book Cover This is the final book of the Defy the Stars trilogy (start with reviews of book one and two).&nbsp; There are probably mild spoilers for the first and one major spoiler for the second book in this review of book three, so please proceed with that in mind.

<description>Book cover Originally a play, then released in book form as Peter and Wendy, this book is the basis of Disney's cartoon movie, Peter Pan.&nbsp; The movie is surprisingly faithful to the book with the exception that Disney's version doesn't portray deaths that the book does.
Problematic doesn't begin to describe this experience.&nbsp; Like a lot of classic literature, defenders will point out that this is a product of its time.</description>

<description>Book cover Set before the first prequel movie, this book follows Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and his Jedi Apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a diplomatic mission set forth by the Jedi council.&nbsp; 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. 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This short book (novella) is the first in the trilogy.&nbsp; Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.
There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Defy the Stars trilogy.&nbsp; I recommend first reading my review of Defy the Stars before diving headlong into this review.&nbsp; Also, there may be mild spoilers of the first book in this review.&nbsp; I'm not sure that can be helped.
I recommend not reading Defy The Worlds until Defy The Stars has already been read.&nbsp; Like most sequels, this book could stand-alone, but there is not as much exposition and recap as I'm used to reading in sequels.</description>

<description>Book cover Start from one mistake, one that is tragically common - becoming a parent a little to young.&nbsp; From that point, almost everything that can go wrong in someone's life while still making the best possible choice for the circumstance is laid out in the first four chapters of this book.&nbsp; This beginning is a treatise on despair and government anti-poverty programs.
The arc doesn't exactly get better from there, but it starts to be framed in a way that shows gratitude for the things that haven't gone completely wrong, though things do continue to go wrong.</description>

The very beginning of this book does capture the early history of Pixar up through the release and success of Toy Story.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>

<description>Book Cover This is a different form than my normal reviews.&nbsp; I usually don't go back to old books to add to my reviews, but this is a touch-stone.&nbsp; It's a book that a LOT of folks have read, and I hope it might help someone who also read this book tune in on where I'm coming from.&nbsp; I read this book several years ago, and though I flipped through it to refresh my mind for this entry, I didn't just read it again in full.</description>

<description>Book cover I have a fairly particular view of science-fiction and how it is different from fantasy.&nbsp; The fantastic element in science fiction is usually both a catalyst for the story itself as well as a way to explore the reactionary side of society.&nbsp; Where in fantasy, the fantastic element is simply present.&nbsp; Used as a tool, maybe even explored in depth, but isn't the main goal.</description>

<description>Book cover Seems an appropriate way to start off the first book review of 2019 with a book that came out in 2009.&nbsp; On top of that, it's a book that I really, really enjoyed reading.
This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism.&nbsp; This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history.&nbsp; It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay.&nbsp; Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

Every character in this book is a Native American either from or converging on Oakland California.&nbsp; There is a lot of exploration, especially among the young characters, of what it means to be Native in the city.</description>

<description>Subtitled, Poems after Shia LaBeouf, this is a short volume of erasure poems lifted from interviews with Shia LaBeouf.&nbsp; Before this book, I had only seen erasure poetry in poster or postcard format.&nbsp; Kitch, at it's best.&nbsp; Also, I have very little patience for poetry.&nbsp; I've read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and never completely read any of the song-poems that are scattered throughout those volumes.

Several of the stories introduce a monster, but the monster itself is inactive ... in one case, already dead, leaving these stories to be more about the evil we bring with us where the monster is just a catalyst or even excuse for some all-too-human transition into bad behavior.</description>

I categorize this book as a Memoir, mostly because it follows the narrative flow of a memoir.&nbsp; It starts out introducing the reader to Michael Bennett's childhood on a rural farm in the South, into college through the NFL, and discusses his own discovery of the importance of both support and activism on a number of issues of equality.</description>

<description>Book Cover This follows four main characters who had gone to high school together back in the early 2000s, and on one night in 2013, all came back home to their hometown of New Canaan, Ohio.
After the prelude, the first section of the book follows Bill Ashcraft, a drifter who is loaded up on drugs.&nbsp; Appropriate to the character - for the parts where we are following his narrative - the story is jumping back and forth between his past and present with no direct warning in-between, full of non-sequiturs, and frankly - hard to follow.</description>

<description>Book cover The world building is probably the thing I liked the most about Catching Stars.&nbsp; There are people who have magical abilities and a larger group of people who don't.&nbsp; Within magic users, there are different types of magic users.&nbsp; There are kingdoms and politics, palace intrigue, roving gangs, sailing ships, petty rivalries and fierce prejudices.&nbsp; Though the story is quite different, the emotional feel of the world is similar to the book Steeplejack by A.</description>

<description>I got an advanced readers copy of this book from the first day of BookExpo.&nbsp; It is supposed to be released in September 2018, but that is preliminary, and the date could slip.
Book cover I don't usually read true-crime genre books.&nbsp; If I had never read the Nabokov fiction, Lolita, I would have never been interested enough in this book to read The Real Lolita by Sarah Weinman.</description>

<description>This is a story about the journey that brings together Pug, who's searching for a new family, and Piggy, who's searching for a new friend.&nbsp; That text is lifted almost directly from the&nbsp;piggyandpug&nbsp;web site, but it's a short book, so hard to not spoil anything... This is a children's illustrated book, from Monolith Press, 32 pages.&nbsp; I was at BookExpo at the end of last week, and I got an opportunity to flip through this book with the book's publicist, Susan, watching me intently for reaction.</description>

Despite what the numerous signs and dotted lines suggest, lanes are defined by the width of the vehicles next to you right now. 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.</description>

<description>What is CHAIR?
CHAIR is an offset platform for programming, which is specifically made to support a programmer's approach to offset horizontal surface interfacing to tables. It does not qualify as a fully integrated development environment, but instead is a purpose built platform for supporting a programmer without getting in the way of what the programmer does best! 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.</description>

<description>I use Docker to run several microservices across my websites. Generally, they are standalone tools and demonstrations, mostly made to teach myself how to get these things done in microservices.
I recently came across the concept of utility containers. Up to now, all the containers I run are meant to run all the time, and be easily replaced by spinning up a replacement container. Utility containers, on the other hand, are literally containers that hold the bits needed to process input data into output data, do that process, then exit.</description>

Despite what the numerous signs and dotted lines suggest, lanes are defined by the width of the vehicles next to you right now. 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.</description>

<description>What is CHAIR?
CHAIR is an offset platform for programming, which is specifically made to support a programmer's approach to offset horizontal surface interfacing to tables. It does not qualify as a fully integrated development environment, but instead is a purpose built platform for supporting a programmer without getting in the way of what the programmer does best! 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.</description>

<description>Book cover I usually don't do the comparative thing, but this one stuck me pretty directly.&nbsp; Imagine the movie Crazy Rich Asians, but teenagers at a boarding school in the mountains outside of Aspen, with a broadly international cast.&nbsp; Main point: pretty much everybody is insanely rich.
The main character, Jaya Rao, is a princess from an old kingdom of India who is literally there to break someone's heart.</description>

<description>Title Illustration I read somewhere that the story of Disney's Frozen was based on this book, so I decided to read and review it for this blog.&nbsp; &nbsp;I want to be clear that there is almost nothing that the story of Frozen has left in common with this original fairytale, except for a talking reindeer.&nbsp; This is a short read, and I've linked to the full text via Project Gutenberg in the book information block below.</description>

<description>Book cover The Graveyard Book isn't a horror novel, but it is absolutely goth and macabre. The story follows a boy from 18 months old when his whole family is murdered and he wanders off into the night through his childhood as he is raised in a graveyard by two ghosts and a vampire as guardian (who supplies physical things, like food and clothes).&nbsp; At one point, we meet a werewolf and ghouls as well.</description>

<description>Book Cover Elizabeth Warren is running for president, and pretty much every candidate writes a book prior to running.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's a good way to let folks know where they are coming from, and do so in a long format, unfiltered by the journalist's desire to pare things down into sound-bites. This book is subtitled: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a children's (6 to 10 years) book about leadership, the subtitle is Leadership With Elsa.&nbsp; While recapping the story of Disney's Frozen, it is a combination of pointing out leadership traits within the story,&nbsp;and&nbsp;pop-up video&nbsp;style call-outs to movie related facts.&nbsp; Because this is an educational title riding on top of the fictional story of Frozen, it is categorized as a non-fiction book.</description>

<description>Book Cover This is the final book of the Defy the Stars trilogy (start with reviews of book one and two).&nbsp; There are probably mild spoilers for the first and one major spoiler for the second book in this review of book three, so please proceed with that in mind.
As I wrote in my review of Defy the Worlds, I do not recommend diving into this book without reading the previous two first.</description>

<description>Book cover Originally a play, then released in book form as Peter and Wendy, this book is the basis of Disney's cartoon movie, Peter Pan.&nbsp; The movie is surprisingly faithful to the book with the exception that Disney's version doesn't portray deaths that the book does.
Problematic doesn't begin to describe this experience.&nbsp; Like a lot of classic literature, defenders will point out that this is a product of its time.</description>

<description>Book Cover Subtitled, Life is What You Make It, this is a book about making things.&nbsp; It has many, many other components though.&nbsp; It is partly a memoir of the author's career.&nbsp; It is partly a book about management, especially the end of Chapter 4 which covers delegation and the importance of communication.&nbsp; It is also very instructional, in that it prescriptively lays out a number of best practices for making, along with illustrative stories of why these practices are so important.</description>

<description>Book cover Set before the first prequel movie, this book follows Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and his Jedi Apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a diplomatic mission set forth by the Jedi council.&nbsp; 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. 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.</description>

<description>Book Cover Every once in a while, I try to get in a review of a classic.&nbsp; Something that some of my readers are likely to have read themselves.&nbsp; I do this, mostly, to help readers calibrate my taste...&nbsp; That is, it seems likely enough that some readers are likely to disagree with everything I like, and might find it compelling to read a book that I really didn't like.</description>

<description>Book cover This short book (novella) is the first in the trilogy.&nbsp; Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.
There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Defy the Stars trilogy.&nbsp; I recommend first reading my review of Defy the Stars before diving headlong into this review.&nbsp; Also, there may be mild spoilers of the first book in this review.&nbsp; I'm not sure that can be helped.
I recommend not reading Defy The Worlds until Defy The Stars has already been read.&nbsp; Like most sequels, this book could stand-alone, but there is not as much exposition and recap as I'm used to reading in sequels.</description>

<description>Book cover Subtitled, The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, this is a biography of a man that most Americans over 30 grew up watching as children on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which is a show that ran on US public television stations (PBS) for 31 years (1968-2001).

<description>Book cover Start from one mistake, one that is tragically common - becoming a parent a little to young.&nbsp; From that point, almost everything that can go wrong in someone's life while still making the best possible choice for the circumstance is laid out in the first four chapters of this book.&nbsp; This beginning is a treatise on despair and government anti-poverty programs.
The arc doesn't exactly get better from there, but it starts to be framed in a way that shows gratitude for the things that haven't gone completely wrong, though things do continue to go wrong.</description>

A Jewish girl of about 16 named Miryam lives in a medieval small unwalled town with the name of either Pakel or Pavys, but the residents simply called it town which is a third of the way between two larger cities in the Kingdom of Lithvas.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a different kind of book about business management.&nbsp; This book is not about success, at least not an initial success.&nbsp; Instead, this book is about continuing to succeed after that initial success.&nbsp; It does this by talking very candidly about narrowly averting complete failure.
The very beginning of this book does capture the early history of Pixar up through the release and success of Toy Story.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>

<description>Book cover I have a fairly particular view of science-fiction and how it is different from fantasy.&nbsp; The fantastic element in science fiction is usually both a catalyst for the story itself as well as a way to explore the reactionary side of society.&nbsp; Where in fantasy, the fantastic element is simply present.&nbsp; Used as a tool, maybe even explored in depth, but isn't the main goal.</description>

<description>Book cover Seems an appropriate way to start off the first book review of 2019 with a book that came out in 2009.&nbsp; On top of that, it's a book that I really, really enjoyed reading.
This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism.&nbsp; This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history.&nbsp; It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay.&nbsp; Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

<description>Book cover I will start by noting that this book started slow for me.&nbsp; It took me over two weeks to read the prologue up through the fourth chapter.&nbsp; Once I passed that, I read the next 80% of the book in two days finishing on a third.
Every character in this book is a Native American either from or converging on Oakland California.&nbsp; There is a lot of exploration, especially among the young characters, of what it means to be Native in the city.</description>

<description>Subtitled, Poems after Shia LaBeouf, this is a short volume of erasure poems lifted from interviews with Shia LaBeouf.&nbsp; Before this book, I had only seen erasure poetry in poster or postcard format.&nbsp; Kitch, at it's best.&nbsp; Also, I have very little patience for poetry.&nbsp; I've read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and never completely read any of the song-poems that are scattered throughout those volumes. All of this leaves me quite surprised that I really enjoyed this book.</description>

<description>Book cover The book starts in a very promising place.&nbsp; It offers a map.&nbsp; All of my favorite fantasy novels have included a map, and this leaves me excited for a tale with some traveling.&nbsp; The first very short chapter introduces some world building back-story, a short story about gods.&nbsp; Then, on page 19 (or the third page of story) the novel lands in a fantasy space that I find very overused and tired.</description>

<description>Book cover North American Lake Monsters is a collection of short horror or at least suspense stories.&nbsp; One short, The Monsters of Heaven,&nbsp;won the Shirley Jackson Award, and this book is on its third printing.
Several of the stories introduce a monster, but the monster itself is inactive ... in one case, already dead, leaving these stories to be more about the evil we bring with us where the monster is just a catalyst or even excuse for some all-too-human transition into bad behavior.</description>

<description>Book cover Since this is a non-fiction and educational book, I'm not going to worry about inadvertent spoilers as I usually do with fictional, or even narrative true-stories.&nbsp; This book does have a narrative flow, better that a lot of the fiction books I've already reviewed, but it is the narrative flow of a documentary, moving from subject to subject, building knowledge.

<description>Book cover This book is a Star Wars story.&nbsp; It takes place during Leia Organa's 16th year.&nbsp; I would like to say that familiarity with the Star Wars universe isn't absolutely necessary, but I cannot be sure of that.&nbsp; It is, at its base, an exhilarating and sometimes sad, coming of age story, where we see Leia grow from a teen who thinks she's all grown up, to a woman who knows she isn't quite there.</description>

<description>Book cover Bonus review this week (because this book comes out on the 11th), and I finally figured out what to say about it.
This tale is, all at once, heartbreaking, terrifying, uncomfortable, troubling with a tiny bit of hopeful mixed in.&nbsp; Trigger warnings would be helpful here: racism, suicide, sexual predation, sexual bigotry, bullying, alcoholism, violence (both human and animal), parental abandonment, and smoking.</description>

<description>Book cover Even though I'm reviewing an Advance copy, this story is surprisingly nonlinear, and I doubt that will change, though - really - it could.&nbsp; The book starts, like a 1970s movie, listing the cast of characters in the approximate order in which the characters appear.&nbsp; It's a story about two people, writing screenplays that are not exactly about the same thing, but are derived from a shared starting point and past.</description>

<description>Book cover "We have got to make the white population uncomfortable, because that is the only way to get their attention."&nbsp; That quote at the start of this book is from Bill Russell in 1964.&nbsp; He was a Basketball player, but also a civil rights activist.
I categorize this book as a Memoir, mostly because it follows the narrative flow of a memoir.&nbsp; It starts out introducing the reader to Michael Bennett's childhood on a rural farm in the South, into college through the NFL, and discusses his own discovery of the importance of both support and activism on a number of issues of equality.</description>

<description>Book cover According to the preface, this book is a carefully researched retelling of surviving stories of the Nordic gods, Odin, Thor, Loki, Freya and others.&nbsp; Where surviving versions of a story differ, artistic license allows for the best of each to be used. First and foremost, these are Nordic tales.&nbsp; If you are familiar with these characters from Marvel comics or movies, be prepared to relearn a lot of what you thought you knew.</description>

While the main thread is the journey, the bulk of the story is Stevens' recollection of his past.</description>

<description>Book Cover This follows four main characters who had gone to high school together back in the early 2000s, and on one night in 2013, all came back home to their hometown of New Canaan, Ohio.
After the prelude, the first section of the book follows Bill Ashcraft, a drifter who is loaded up on drugs.&nbsp; Appropriate to the character - for the parts where we are following his narrative - the story is jumping back and forth between his past and present with no direct warning in-between, full of non-sequiturs, and frankly - hard to follow.</description>

Book cover I don't usually read true-crime genre books.&nbsp; If I had never read the Nabokov fiction, Lolita, I would have never been interested enough in this book to read The Real Lolita by Sarah Weinman.</description>

<description>This is a story about the journey that brings together Pug, who's searching for a new family, and Piggy, who's searching for a new friend.&nbsp; That text is lifted almost directly from the&nbsp;piggyandpug&nbsp;web site, but it's a short book, so hard to not spoil anything... This is a children's illustrated book, from Monolith Press, 32 pages.&nbsp; I was at BookExpo at the end of last week, and I got an opportunity to flip through this book with the book's publicist, Susan, watching me intently for reaction.</description>

<description>I read this book in only two days, which is way shorter than I usually read, especially a book of 416 pages.&nbsp; I generally only read on weekends, and usually only for a few hours at a time.&nbsp; This book really had me hooked from start to finish.&nbsp; I definitely lost sleep for reading. Will Dando, a struggling New York musician, dreams up 108 predictions.&nbsp; A line of information and a date for each.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a different kind of book about business management.&nbsp; This book is not about success, at least not an initial success.&nbsp; Instead, this book is about continuing to succeed after that initial success.&nbsp; It does this by talking very candidly about narrowly averting complete failure.
The very beginning of this book does capture the early history of Pixar up through the release and success of Toy Story.</description>

<description>Book Cover Every once in a while, I try to get in a review of a classic.&nbsp; Something that some of my readers are likely to have read themselves.&nbsp; I do this, mostly, to help readers calibrate my taste...&nbsp; That is, it seems likely enough that some readers are likely to disagree with everything I like, and might find it compelling to read a book that I really didn't like.</description>

<description>This is a story about the journey that brings together Pug, who's searching for a new family, and Piggy, who's searching for a new friend.&nbsp; That text is lifted almost directly from the&nbsp;piggyandpug&nbsp;web site, but it's a short book, so hard to not spoil anything... This is a children's illustrated book, from Monolith Press, 32 pages.&nbsp; I was at BookExpo at the end of last week, and I got an opportunity to flip through this book with the book's publicist, Susan, watching me intently for reaction.</description>

<description>Book cover Bonus review this week (because this book comes out on the 11th), and I finally figured out what to say about it.
This tale is, all at once, heartbreaking, terrifying, uncomfortable, troubling with a tiny bit of hopeful mixed in.&nbsp; Trigger warnings would be helpful here: racism, suicide, sexual predation, sexual bigotry, bullying, alcoholism, violence (both human and animal), parental abandonment, and smoking.</description>

<description>Before I start this:
I met Jeremy Dale with Kelly by his side on several occasions at various comic book conventions.&nbsp; I am always on the lookout for a well written all-ages comic book story, and I found Jeremy and Skyward when there were only two issues, self-published and in black and white.&nbsp; Later, I saw him at a different convention and got issue 3, and he said that issue 4 should be out by NYCC.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a book that I've known about for most of my life, and Tom Sawyer is a character that I've heard referenced through my entire life.&nbsp; A fairly large area of Disney's Magic Kingdom is dedicated to this book; one of my favorite places to hang out for an hour.&nbsp; Yet, nothing of the story was spoiled for me.

<description>Book cover Seems an appropriate way to start off the first book review of 2019 with a book that came out in 2009.&nbsp; On top of that, it's a book that I really, really enjoyed reading.
This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover I will start by noting that this book started slow for me.&nbsp; It took me over two weeks to read the prologue up through the fourth chapter.&nbsp; Once I passed that, I read the next 80% of the book in two days finishing on a third.
Every character in this book is a Native American either from or converging on Oakland California.&nbsp; There is a lot of exploration, especially among the young characters, of what it means to be Native in the city.</description>

<description>Book cover Even though I'm reviewing an Advance copy, this story is surprisingly nonlinear, and I doubt that will change, though - really - it could.&nbsp; The book starts, like a 1970s movie, listing the cast of characters in the approximate order in which the characters appear.&nbsp; It's a story about two people, writing screenplays that are not exactly about the same thing, but are derived from a shared starting point and past.</description>

<description>Book cover (paperback) This is the 1989 book that later became a movie (which I never saw).&nbsp; This won the Booker Prize.&nbsp; We follow a quintessential British Butler named Stevens sometime after World War 2 on a journey to look up an ex-employee.&nbsp; The journey itself is beautifully and descriptively written.
While the main thread is the journey, the bulk of the story is Stevens' recollection of his past.</description>

<description>Book Cover This follows four main characters who had gone to high school together back in the early 2000s, and on one night in 2013, all came back home to their hometown of New Canaan, Ohio.
After the prelude, the first section of the book follows Bill Ashcraft, a drifter who is loaded up on drugs.&nbsp; Appropriate to the character - for the parts where we are following his narrative - the story is jumping back and forth between his past and present with no direct warning in-between, full of non-sequiturs, and frankly - hard to follow.</description>

<description>I'm on my second day where I feel relatively jet-lag free. &nbsp;This is as good a time as any, to mention what is different about Traffic in Bangalore. &nbsp;There seems to be a whole new (but not all new to my experience) rules for traffic navigation.
Despite what the numerous signs and dotted lines suggest, lanes are defined by the width of the vehicles next to you right now. 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.</description>

<description>Title Illustration I read somewhere that the story of Disney's Frozen was based on this book, so I decided to read and review it for this blog.&nbsp; &nbsp;I want to be clear that there is almost nothing that the story of Frozen has left in common with this original fairytale, except for a talking reindeer.&nbsp; This is a short read, and I've linked to the full text via Project Gutenberg in the book information block below.</description>

<description>Book cover The Graveyard Book isn't a horror novel, but it is absolutely goth and macabre. The story follows a boy from 18 months old when his whole family is murdered and he wanders off into the night through his childhood as he is raised in a graveyard by two ghosts and a vampire as guardian (who supplies physical things, like food and clothes).&nbsp; At one point, we meet a werewolf and ghouls as well.</description>

<description>Book cover Originally a play, then released in book form as Peter and Wendy, this book is the basis of Disney's cartoon movie, Peter Pan.&nbsp; The movie is surprisingly faithful to the book with the exception that Disney's version doesn't portray deaths that the book does.
Problematic doesn't begin to describe this experience.&nbsp; Like a lot of classic literature, defenders will point out that this is a product of its time.</description>

<description>Book cover Set before the first prequel movie, this book follows Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and his Jedi Apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a diplomatic mission set forth by the Jedi council.&nbsp; 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. 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.</description>

<description>Book Cover Every once in a while, I try to get in a review of a classic.&nbsp; Something that some of my readers are likely to have read themselves.&nbsp; I do this, mostly, to help readers calibrate my taste...&nbsp; That is, it seems likely enough that some readers are likely to disagree with everything I like, and might find it compelling to read a book that I really didn't like.</description>

<description>Book cover This is the second book that I've reviewed by Naomi Novik, the first was&nbsp;Uprooted.&nbsp; At a high level, there are some parallels between these books, but they are definitely different worlds.&nbsp; Here's a quick overview of the setting:
A Jewish girl of about 16 named Miryam lives in a medieval small unwalled town with the name of either Pakel or Pavys, but the residents simply called it town which is a third of the way between two larger cities in the Kingdom of Lithvas.</description>

<description>Book cover The book starts in a very promising place.&nbsp; It offers a map.&nbsp; All of my favorite fantasy novels have included a map, and this leaves me excited for a tale with some traveling.&nbsp; The first very short chapter introduces some world building back-story, a short story about gods.&nbsp; Then, on page 19 (or the third page of story) the novel lands in a fantasy space that I find very overused and tired.</description>

<description>Book cover I realize that I've read and reviewed a lot of books that I don't really like.&nbsp; This review isn't that.&nbsp; I liked the book, Leia; Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray so much that when I found out she had another book in the Star Wars universe, I bought it right away.&nbsp;I really like to keep these reviews spoiler-free, and if I really enjoy a book, I actually have a much harder time writing about it, because - well - everything I enjoy about a book seems like a possible spoiler.</description>

<description>Book cover This book is a Star Wars story.&nbsp; It takes place during Leia Organa's 16th year.&nbsp; I would like to say that familiarity with the Star Wars universe isn't absolutely necessary, but I cannot be sure of that.&nbsp; It is, at its base, an exhilarating and sometimes sad, coming of age story, where we see Leia grow from a teen who thinks she's all grown up, to a woman who knows she isn't quite there.</description>

<description>Book cover According to the preface, this book is a carefully researched retelling of surviving stories of the Nordic gods, Odin, Thor, Loki, Freya and others.&nbsp; Where surviving versions of a story differ, artistic license allows for the best of each to be used. First and foremost, these are Nordic tales.&nbsp; If you are familiar with these characters from Marvel comics or movies, be prepared to relearn a lot of what you thought you knew.</description>

<description>Before I start this:
I met Jeremy Dale with Kelly by his side on several occasions at various comic book conventions.&nbsp; I am always on the lookout for a well written all-ages comic book story, and I found Jeremy and Skyward when there were only two issues, self-published and in black and white.&nbsp; Later, I saw him at a different convention and got issue 3, and he said that issue 4 should be out by NYCC.</description>

I've eaten at several places since I've been here, though, only one place would I consider having what I'm guessing is actual Indian food. &nbsp;Which is to say, I've mostly eaten at hotels, or foreign Restaurants. &nbsp;My room rate, at the hotel I'm staying in, comes with free Breakfast, so that's the one meal I will always eat at the hotel.</description>

<description>What is CHAIR?
CHAIR is an offset platform for programming, which is specifically made to support a programmer's approach to offset horizontal surface interfacing to tables. It does not qualify as a fully integrated development environment, but instead is a purpose built platform for supporting a programmer without getting in the way of what the programmer does best! 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.</description>

<description>Book cover (paperback) This is the 1989 book that later became a movie (which I never saw).&nbsp; This won the Booker Prize.&nbsp; We follow a quintessential British Butler named Stevens sometime after World War 2 on a journey to look up an ex-employee.&nbsp; The journey itself is beautifully and descriptively written.
While the main thread is the journey, the bulk of the story is Stevens' recollection of his past.</description>

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).</description>

<description>I'm on my second day where I feel relatively jet-lag free. &nbsp;This is as good a time as any, to mention what is different about Traffic in Bangalore. &nbsp;There seems to be a whole new (but not all new to my experience) rules for traffic navigation.
Despite what the numerous signs and dotted lines suggest, lanes are defined by the width of the vehicles next to you right now. 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.</description>

<description>So, I have been in Bangalore now for five days, but something happened two days ago, that I was a bit surprised by...
I've eaten at several places since I've been here, though, only one place would I consider having what I'm guessing is actual Indian food. &nbsp;Which is to say, I've mostly eaten at hotels, or foreign Restaurants. &nbsp;My room rate, at the hotel I'm staying in, comes with free Breakfast, so that's the one meal I will always eat at the hotel.</description>

<description>Admitting that the iPhone can no longer feature compete with the fast moving open source platform, Android, Apple Inc dusts off some patents that could be stretched to cover some Android features and starts filing lawsuits.
Gone are the days when Apple could just tell people to use their phone and the difference in quality would be obvious. &nbsp;These days, even the new Windows phones are better than iPhones, so to try to save it's market share, Apple has decided to sue instead of compete.</description>

Every time I hear about one of those laptops stolen with secrets, but "no secure password", I believe that corporate password retention policies are to blame.
I have now come to the point, where I work, that the various password systems, with their vastly different password policies, have collided to make it impossible for me to keep up anymore.

The results, about 8% loss. Of course, this depends on what index you are looking at, but 8% seems to be right about in the middle. The Dow is down 777 points or 6.98%. The Russel 1000 is down 8.69%.

I've heard various things about the Government bail-outs of banks, auto makers and mortgages. &nbsp;So, I did a quick search, and found a really great article over at ProPublica. &nbsp;This is a list of who still has money, and who paid money back already.</description>

<description>There was a sink-hole in St. Paul this-morning.

<description>September 11, 2001 I was on a consulting assignment to help install and configure a web based software product at Caterpillar in Pontiac, Illinois. 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).</description>

<description>Book cover This is a different kind of book about business management.&nbsp; This book is not about success, at least not an initial success.&nbsp; Instead, this book is about continuing to succeed after that initial success.&nbsp; It does this by talking very candidly about narrowly averting complete failure.
The very beginning of this book does capture the early history of Pixar up through the release and success of Toy Story.</description>

<description>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism.&nbsp; This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history.&nbsp; It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay.&nbsp; Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

<description>Book cover Since this is a non-fiction and educational book, I'm not going to worry about inadvertent spoilers as I usually do with fictional, or even narrative true-stories.&nbsp; This book does have a narrative flow, better that a lot of the fiction books I've already reviewed, but it is the narrative flow of a documentary, moving from subject to subject, building knowledge.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the top science communicators alive today.</description>

<description>Book cover "We have got to make the white population uncomfortable, because that is the only way to get their attention."&nbsp; That quote at the start of this book is from Bill Russell in 1964.&nbsp; He was a Basketball player, but also a civil rights activist.
I categorize this book as a Memoir, mostly because it follows the narrative flow of a memoir.&nbsp; It starts out introducing the reader to Michael Bennett's childhood on a rural farm in the South, into college through the NFL, and discusses his own discovery of the importance of both support and activism on a number of issues of equality.</description>

<description>I got an advanced readers copy of this book from the first day of BookExpo.&nbsp; It is supposed to be released in September 2018, but that is preliminary, and the date could slip.
Book cover I don't usually read true-crime genre books.&nbsp; If I had never read the Nabokov fiction, Lolita, I would have never been interested enough in this book to read The Real Lolita by Sarah Weinman.</description>

<description>Book Cover Elizabeth Warren is running for president, and pretty much every candidate writes a book prior to running.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's a good way to let folks know where they are coming from, and do so in a long format, unfiltered by the journalist's desire to pare things down into sound-bites. This book is subtitled: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>It looks like we're going to have a Newt Gingrich style government shut-down this weekend. &nbsp;A friend of mine, who will be affected by this if it happens, mentioned that it seems like this is fall-out for the bail-outs.
I've heard various things about the Government bail-outs of banks, auto makers and mortgages. &nbsp;So, I did a quick search, and found a really great article over at ProPublica. &nbsp;This is a list of who still has money, and who paid money back already.</description>

<description>Book Cover Subtitled, Life is What You Make It, this is a book about making things.&nbsp; It has many, many other components though.&nbsp; It is partly a memoir of the author's career.&nbsp; It is partly a book about management, especially the end of Chapter 4 which covers delegation and the importance of communication.&nbsp; It is also very instructional, in that it prescriptively lays out a number of best practices for making, along with illustrative stories of why these practices are so important.</description>

<description>Book cover Set before the first prequel movie, this book follows Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and his Jedi Apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a diplomatic mission set forth by the Jedi council.&nbsp; 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. 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.</description>

<description>Book Cover Every once in a while, I try to get in a review of a classic.&nbsp; Something that some of my readers are likely to have read themselves.&nbsp; I do this, mostly, to help readers calibrate my taste...&nbsp; That is, it seems likely enough that some readers are likely to disagree with everything I like, and might find it compelling to read a book that I really didn't like.</description>

<description>Book cover This short book (novella) is the first in the trilogy.&nbsp; Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.
There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Defy the Stars trilogy.&nbsp; I recommend first reading my review of Defy the Stars before diving headlong into this review.&nbsp; Also, there may be mild spoilers of the first book in this review.&nbsp; I'm not sure that can be helped.
I recommend not reading Defy The Worlds until Defy The Stars has already been read.&nbsp; Like most sequels, this book could stand-alone, but there is not as much exposition and recap as I'm used to reading in sequels.</description>

<description>Book cover Subtitled, The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, this is a biography of a man that most Americans over 30 grew up watching as children on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which is a show that ran on US public television stations (PBS) for 31 years (1968-2001).
I cannot review this book without noting that Fred Rogers means a lot to me, as I watched his show regularly for many years.</description>

<description>This is book one of a three book series (the third book came out earlier this month), and since I've already had good reviews of two other books by this author, I decided to pick up this series as well to see what she had done outside of the Star Wars universe.

<description>Book cover Start from one mistake, one that is tragically common - becoming a parent a little to young.&nbsp; From that point, almost everything that can go wrong in someone's life while still making the best possible choice for the circumstance is laid out in the first four chapters of this book.&nbsp; This beginning is a treatise on despair and government anti-poverty programs.
The arc doesn't exactly get better from there, but it starts to be framed in a way that shows gratitude for the things that haven't gone completely wrong, though things do continue to go wrong.</description>

<description>Book cover This is the second book that I've reviewed by Naomi Novik, the first was&nbsp;Uprooted.&nbsp; At a high level, there are some parallels between these books, but they are definitely different worlds.&nbsp; Here's a quick overview of the setting:
A Jewish girl of about 16 named Miryam lives in a medieval small unwalled town with the name of either Pakel or Pavys, but the residents simply called it town which is a third of the way between two larger cities in the Kingdom of Lithvas.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a different kind of book about business management.&nbsp; This book is not about success, at least not an initial success.&nbsp; Instead, this book is about continuing to succeed after that initial success.&nbsp; It does this by talking very candidly about narrowly averting complete failure.
The very beginning of this book does capture the early history of Pixar up through the release and success of Toy Story.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>

<description>Movie poster This is a documentary film about Fred McFeely Rogers, who was on a popular children's program called Mister Rogers' Neighborhood from 1968 through 2001.&nbsp; The movie starts his career with a children's show that he produced before Neighborhood, the Children's Corner, though skips his earliest work for NBC.
Won't you be my neighbor is a very well paced, carefully timed, and beautifully edited documentary.</description>

<description>Book cover I have a fairly particular view of science-fiction and how it is different from fantasy.&nbsp; The fantastic element in science fiction is usually both a catalyst for the story itself as well as a way to explore the reactionary side of society.&nbsp; Where in fantasy, the fantastic element is simply present.&nbsp; Used as a tool, maybe even explored in depth, but isn't the main goal.</description>

<description>Book cover Seems an appropriate way to start off the first book review of 2019 with a book that came out in 2009.&nbsp; On top of that, it's a book that I really, really enjoyed reading.
This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.&nbsp; 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.</description>

This tale is, all at once, heartbreaking, terrifying, uncomfortable, troubling with a tiny bit of hopeful mixed in.&nbsp; Trigger warnings would be helpful here: racism, suicide, sexual predation, sexual bigotry, bullying, alcoholism, violence (both human and animal), parental abandonment, and smoking.</description>

I categorize this book as a Memoir, mostly because it follows the narrative flow of a memoir.&nbsp; It starts out introducing the reader to Michael Bennett's childhood on a rural farm in the South, into college through the NFL, and discusses his own discovery of the importance of both support and activism on a number of issues of equality.</description>

<description>This is a story about the journey that brings together Pug, who's searching for a new family, and Piggy, who's searching for a new friend.&nbsp; That text is lifted almost directly from the&nbsp;piggyandpug&nbsp;web site, but it's a short book, so hard to not spoil anything... This is a children's illustrated book, from Monolith Press, 32 pages.&nbsp; I was at BookExpo at the end of last week, and I got an opportunity to flip through this book with the book's publicist, Susan, watching me intently for reaction.</description>

<description>I read this book in only two days, which is way shorter than I usually read, especially a book of 416 pages.&nbsp; I generally only read on weekends, and usually only for a few hours at a time.&nbsp; This book really had me hooked from start to finish.&nbsp; I definitely lost sleep for reading. Will Dando, a struggling New York musician, dreams up 108 predictions.&nbsp; A line of information and a date for each.</description>

<description>Book Cover This is the final book of the Defy the Stars trilogy (start with reviews of book one and two).&nbsp; There are probably mild spoilers for the first and one major spoiler for the second book in this review of book three, so please proceed with that in mind.
As I wrote in my review of Defy the Worlds, I do not recommend diving into this book without reading the previous two first.</description>

<description>This is book one of a three book series (the third book came out earlier this month), and since I've already had good reviews of two other books by this author, I decided to pick up this series as well to see what she had done outside of the Star Wars universe.
Book cover Through a ring of stabilized wormholes, large enough for whole ships to pass through, Earth expanded to five other planets.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Mortal Engines Quartet.&nbsp; For convenience, here is a link to my review of book 1, Mortal Engines, which I posted a month ago.
I'm going to start this review with a note about a changed name.&nbsp; The books were originally released in the UK with a character named Shrike.&nbsp; For the initial US release of the books, that character was renamed to Grike.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>

<description>Book cover I have a fairly particular view of science-fiction and how it is different from fantasy.&nbsp; The fantastic element in science fiction is usually both a catalyst for the story itself as well as a way to explore the reactionary side of society.&nbsp; Where in fantasy, the fantastic element is simply present.&nbsp; Used as a tool, maybe even explored in depth, but isn't the main goal.</description>

<description>Book cover Imagine the universe of Battlestar Galactica but add elves, trolls and dragons, remove the religious overtones entirely.&nbsp; The dragons are spaceships, a bit like the galactic whale from Jim Henson's Farscape.&nbsp; Instead of Battlestar's Cylons, we have Constructs, which are a bit closer to the Nexus of Bladerunner fame.
Scarlett, Jade and Blue are elite pilots of young dragons on the cruiser known as the Opal Dragon.</description>

<description>Book cover The world building is probably the thing I liked the most about Catching Stars.&nbsp; There are people who have magical abilities and a larger group of people who don't.&nbsp; Within magic users, there are different types of magic users.&nbsp; There are kingdoms and politics, palace intrigue, roving gangs, sailing ships, petty rivalries and fierce prejudices.&nbsp; Though the story is quite different, the emotional feel of the world is similar to the book Steeplejack by A.</description>

<description>I read this book in only two days, which is way shorter than I usually read, especially a book of 416 pages.&nbsp; I generally only read on weekends, and usually only for a few hours at a time.&nbsp; This book really had me hooked from start to finish.&nbsp; I definitely lost sleep for reading. Will Dando, a struggling New York musician, dreams up 108 predictions.&nbsp; A line of information and a date for each.</description>

<description>Book Cover Every once in a while, I try to get in a review of a classic.&nbsp; Something that some of my readers are likely to have read themselves.&nbsp; I do this, mostly, to help readers calibrate my taste...&nbsp; That is, it seems likely enough that some readers are likely to disagree with everything I like, and might find it compelling to read a book that I really didn't like.</description>

<description>Book cover This short book (novella) is the first in the trilogy.&nbsp; Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.
There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Defy the Stars trilogy.&nbsp; I recommend first reading my review of Defy the Stars before diving headlong into this review.&nbsp; Also, there may be mild spoilers of the first book in this review.&nbsp; I'm not sure that can be helped.
I recommend not reading Defy The Worlds until Defy The Stars has already been read.&nbsp; Like most sequels, this book could stand-alone, but there is not as much exposition and recap as I'm used to reading in sequels.</description>

<description>This is book one of a three book series (the third book came out earlier this month), and since I've already had good reviews of two other books by this author, I decided to pick up this series as well to see what she had done outside of the Star Wars universe.
Book cover Through a ring of stabilized wormholes, large enough for whole ships to pass through, Earth expanded to five other planets.</description>

<description>Book cover This is the second book that I've reviewed by Naomi Novik, the first was&nbsp;Uprooted.&nbsp; At a high level, there are some parallels between these books, but they are definitely different worlds.&nbsp; Here's a quick overview of the setting:
A Jewish girl of about 16 named Miryam lives in a medieval small unwalled town with the name of either Pakel or Pavys, but the residents simply called it town which is a third of the way between two larger cities in the Kingdom of Lithvas.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Mortal Engines Quartet.&nbsp; For convenience, here is a link to my review of book 1, Mortal Engines, which I posted a month ago.
I'm going to start this review with a note about a changed name.&nbsp; The books were originally released in the UK with a character named Shrike.&nbsp; For the initial US release of the books, that character was renamed to Grike.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>

<description>Book cover I have a fairly particular view of science-fiction and how it is different from fantasy.&nbsp; The fantastic element in science fiction is usually both a catalyst for the story itself as well as a way to explore the reactionary side of society.&nbsp; Where in fantasy, the fantastic element is simply present.&nbsp; Used as a tool, maybe even explored in depth, but isn't the main goal.</description>

<description>Book cover The book starts in a very promising place.&nbsp; It offers a map.&nbsp; All of my favorite fantasy novels have included a map, and this leaves me excited for a tale with some traveling.&nbsp; The first very short chapter introduces some world building back-story, a short story about gods.&nbsp; Then, on page 19 (or the third page of story) the novel lands in a fantasy space that I find very overused and tired.</description>

<description>Book cover This book is a Star Wars story.&nbsp; It takes place during Leia Organa's 16th year.&nbsp; I would like to say that familiarity with the Star Wars universe isn't absolutely necessary, but I cannot be sure of that.&nbsp; It is, at its base, an exhilarating and sometimes sad, coming of age story, where we see Leia grow from a teen who thinks she's all grown up, to a woman who knows she isn't quite there.</description>

<description>Book cover The world building is probably the thing I liked the most about Catching Stars.&nbsp; There are people who have magical abilities and a larger group of people who don't.&nbsp; Within magic users, there are different types of magic users.&nbsp; There are kingdoms and politics, palace intrigue, roving gangs, sailing ships, petty rivalries and fierce prejudices.&nbsp; Though the story is quite different, the emotional feel of the world is similar to the book Steeplejack by A.</description>

This tale is, all at once, heartbreaking, terrifying, uncomfortable, troubling with a tiny bit of hopeful mixed in.&nbsp; Trigger warnings would be helpful here: racism, suicide, sexual predation, sexual bigotry, bullying, alcoholism, violence (both human and animal), parental abandonment, and smoking.</description>

<description>Book cover (paperback) This is the 1989 book that later became a movie (which I never saw).&nbsp; This won the Booker Prize.&nbsp; We follow a quintessential British Butler named Stevens sometime after World War 2 on a journey to look up an ex-employee.&nbsp; The journey itself is beautifully and descriptively written.
While the main thread is the journey, the bulk of the story is Stevens' recollection of his past.</description>

<description>I got an advanced readers copy of this book from the first day of BookExpo.&nbsp; It is supposed to be released in September 2018, but that is preliminary, and the date could slip.
Book cover I don't usually read true-crime genre books.&nbsp; If I had never read the Nabokov fiction, Lolita, I would have never been interested enough in this book to read The Real Lolita by Sarah Weinman.</description>

<description>This is a story about the journey that brings together Pug, who's searching for a new family, and Piggy, who's searching for a new friend.&nbsp; That text is lifted almost directly from the&nbsp;piggyandpug&nbsp;web site, but it's a short book, so hard to not spoil anything... This is a children's illustrated book, from Monolith Press, 32 pages.&nbsp; I was at BookExpo at the end of last week, and I got an opportunity to flip through this book with the book's publicist, Susan, watching me intently for reaction.</description>

<description>I read this book in only two days, which is way shorter than I usually read, especially a book of 416 pages.&nbsp; I generally only read on weekends, and usually only for a few hours at a time.&nbsp; This book really had me hooked from start to finish.&nbsp; I definitely lost sleep for reading. Will Dando, a struggling New York musician, dreams up 108 predictions.&nbsp; A line of information and a date for each.</description>

<description>Hello everyone.
I've been very busy with work and friends lately. I also don't have an internet connection at home, so I've been neglecting this blog. It's not that I haven't seen anything of interest lately, and it's not that I've had nothing to say. I've just been busy.
First -- I lost my TV. Not really that I lost a TV. I don't have one, but I did have a TV capture card, and I was able to get over-the-air signals with it.</description>

<description>Hello everyone.
I've been very busy with work and friends lately. I also don't have an internet connection at home, so I've been neglecting this blog. It's not that I haven't seen anything of interest lately, and it's not that I've had nothing to say. I've just been busy.
First -- I lost my TV. Not really that I lost a TV. I don't have one, but I did have a TV capture card, and I was able to get over-the-air signals with it.</description>

<description>What is CHAIR?
CHAIR is an offset platform for programming, which is specifically made to support a programmer's approach to offset horizontal surface interfacing to tables. It does not qualify as a fully integrated development environment, but instead is a purpose built platform for supporting a programmer without getting in the way of what the programmer does best! 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.</description>

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).</description>

<description>Book cover I usually don't do the comparative thing, but this one stuck me pretty directly.&nbsp; Imagine the movie Crazy Rich Asians, but teenagers at a boarding school in the mountains outside of Aspen, with a broadly international cast.&nbsp; Main point: pretty much everybody is insanely rich.
The main character, Jaya Rao, is a princess from an old kingdom of India who is literally there to break someone's heart.</description>

<description>Book cover The Graveyard Book isn't a horror novel, but it is absolutely goth and macabre. The story follows a boy from 18 months old when his whole family is murdered and he wanders off into the night through his childhood as he is raised in a graveyard by two ghosts and a vampire as guardian (who supplies physical things, like food and clothes).&nbsp; At one point, we meet a werewolf and ghouls as well.</description>

<description>Book cover This is a book that I've known about for most of my life, and Tom Sawyer is a character that I've heard referenced through my entire life.&nbsp; A fairly large area of Disney's Magic Kingdom is dedicated to this book; one of my favorite places to hang out for an hour.&nbsp; Yet, nothing of the story was spoiled for me.

<description>Book Cover Every once in a while, I try to get in a review of a classic.&nbsp; Something that some of my readers are likely to have read themselves.&nbsp; I do this, mostly, to help readers calibrate my taste...&nbsp; That is, it seems likely enough that some readers are likely to disagree with everything I like, and might find it compelling to read a book that I really didn't like.</description>

+ <guid>https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/07/binti-trilogy/</guid>
<description>Book cover This short book (novella) is the first in the trilogy.&nbsp; Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.
There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; 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.</description>

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Defy the Stars trilogy.&nbsp; I recommend first reading my review of Defy the Stars before diving headlong into this review.&nbsp; Also, there may be mild spoilers of the first book in this review.&nbsp; I'm not sure that can be helped.
I recommend not reading Defy The Worlds until Defy The Stars has already been read.&nbsp; Like most sequels, this book could stand-alone, but there is not as much exposition and recap as I'm used to reading in sequels.</description>

<description>This is book one of a three book series (the third book came out earlier this month), and since I've already had good reviews of two other books by this author, I decided to pick up this series as well to see what she had done outside of the Star Wars universe.

<description>Book cover This is book 2 of the Mortal Engines Quartet.&nbsp; For convenience, here is a link to my review of book 1, Mortal Engines, which I posted a month ago.
I'm going to start this review with a note about a changed name.&nbsp; The books were originally released in the UK with a character named Shrike.&nbsp; For the initial US release of the books, that character was renamed to Grike.</description>

<description>Book cover Over a thousand years before the book's present, there was a war that effectively destroyed all of society.&nbsp; Picking up the pieces of the technology that was left behind, London was put onto treads, run by steam, so that it find and consume other towns for resources and, ultimately, more fuel to keep moving.
Over time, other towns and cities did the same, while another group, called the Anti-Traction League, created a defensive wall across the only pass in a mountain range to keep these traction cities at bay on the other side.</description>
