Why $2 Gas Is Amazing

Why $2 Gas Is
Amazing Gasoline is now selling at more than $2 a gallon, which,
after inflation, is higher than it's been since 1981. But that's not
the amazing part. Actually, there are three amazing parts.
An amazing Year!
An amazing Year!
06/06/2005 12:01 AMA Year ago I was laying in a hospital bed overseas having just come
out of surgery that resulted in some stainless steel in my back with 4
wicked screws, and a severely damaged vertebrae. This would be the
start of 13 days in the hospital, being fit with a full body cast,
then graduating to a clam shell device that cost my insurance company
7k, and a heavily medicated patient for 8 weeks following the
surgery.
The day I quit my pain meds I went cold turkey on a Friday, told my
Doctor on Tuesday after having a very agonizing 3 days, and nights. I
obviously needed the pain meds early on, and having remembered laying
on a hospital emergency room bed screaming for about the first 9 hours
because the morphin they gave me didn't really help I was reluctant to
go down that road again.
I returned to work after 8 weeks off and within a week, was back in
a Airplane on a 6 week business trip. My Doctor lost his mind but hey
when it was time to get back to work you have to dive back in. The
hardest part for the 3 months was the clam shell was not being able to
pick my kid up.
Finally in Feb of this year, I was given the green light to start
light exercising. I podcasted my hospital experience and you can find
the audio clip on this p
ost you can take a look at the h
ardware I carry around here.
I am not complaining, as I am very blessed to be walking, and even
though I live in a constant state of low level pain life is good.
The wife had expected me to be rolled off the airplane as the initial
prognosis was really bad and instead I walked off.
One thing though because I flew back from the middle east only 15
days after being injured, I had to lay flat as much as possible so I
enjoyed 1st class on 3 consecutive flights and enjoyed the food but
had to decline the liquor, as the Roxicet and the Oxycodone I was
prescribed was enough bad stuff in my blood stream.
Thus having spent my 40th birthday in that hospital bed
contemplating life, and having really looked forward to 2004 being in
my rear view mirror the road ahead is a bright one and I am happy to
be have faired as well as I have. So their may be times when I get
excited about stuff and jump in with both feed but the reason for that
is simple I was given a second chance to make profound changes in my
families and people I come in contact withs life.
My Wife, and Kids were champions and my extended family and friends
prayed and took car of my wife when I was half a world away. Thank you
for being here during the past year also.

Apple I: the Mac is amazing
Apple I: the Mac is amazing
01/07/2004 02:43 PMSo months after wondering what this integrated "Rip, Mix, Burn"
technology in OS X is all about, I finally got around to making a
movie --
Mr.
Willem's First Christmas. It was astonishingly easy to make. It
took a couple hours of shooting with a Sony DV Cam, and then a couple
hours editing. Sound directly integrates with iTunes. Photos directly
integrate with iPhoto. And the result directly integrates with iDVD.
All that's missing is a simple way to integrate
Creative Commons licenses, the
way, e.g.,
MT does, and
Adobe will (as announced at our party, at
which the latest cool
Flash!
was shown as well).

looking at a wad of virus-generated mail bounced back to me because it
failed an SPF check at the receiver's end. Yep, that's right. Someone
configured their mail server to check and see if inbound mail had a
forged From address and, if it found that it was, bounce it back. Back
to the forged from. You know, the one you just checked and found
thatit didn't come from. Some days people truly puzzle me....

The most amazing salad in the world
The most amazing salad in the world
08/01/2004 01:15 PMThe other night, as Jason already reported, I had dinner at Craft. One
of the highlights of the meal for me was the special heirloom tomato
appetizer we ordered. It perfectly accentuated the range of
intoxicating sweetness to be found in these delightful vegetables
(fruits, whatever).
As a fairly recent victor in Battle Tomato, I was surprised by how
much I enjoyed it, and found myself on Friday buying over a pound of
heirloom tomatoes at the Greenmarket to attempt an at-home recreation
of the dish. I'm happy to report that my Craft's Heirloom Tomato Salad
was a huge success (coupled with fresh corn on the cob, it made for an
all-Greenmarket-veggie dinner). So delightful was it that Saturday
morning on my way home from a run, I stopped again at the Greenmarket
to use my last few dollars to buy three more tomatoes. If you enjoy
tomatoes and have access to nice ripe heirlooms, you couldn't ask for
a better way to enjoy them.

Amazing week in EFF's history
Amazing week in EFF's history
12/20/2003 04:52 PMThis was a red-letter week for EFF, with three critical victories
coming each on the heels of the last:
* Under pressure from EFF and a broad, bipartisan coalition of
organizations we led, the U.S. Forest Service announced that
it would drop plans to block messages from web action centers.
* The Dutch Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision protecting
peer-to-peer software provider KaZaA from liability under Dutch
law for copyright infringement by its users. EFF's Fred von
Lohmann will argue a similar appeal in the MGM v. Grokster case
in January, and while the European law is different, the decision
provides a positive context within which to argue that the higher
court should uphold our victory before the lower court last
Spring.
* Finally, the DC Circuit ruled Friday to uphold Verizon's right
to protect its customers' privacy from subpoenas issued by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) under the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). EFF helped lead a coalition of
44 privacy and consumer groups, plus a host of ISPs, in an amicus
brief in support of Verizon.
A reminder: EFF is a member-supported charity -- and you've got just
over a week left to throw some money at a worthy charity before Uncle
Sugar will take it away from you.

OneFinger is a general-purpose GUI for composing
CLI commands with the mouse. Although entirely
graphical, it does not attempt to hide the underlying
CLI language. It increases your productivity over
classical hand-typing by caching commands typed into
terminals, which tend to be highly repetitive.
Repeated commands can be selected from a list,
ordered by last usage time. It includes an integrated
file browser that helps you insert filenames without
typing them. and allows you to see only those
programs that make sense with a given file.
Changes:
This is a major new release. The interface was redesigned to its
roots. It is much faster and less cluttered. Some wishes from users
have been fulfilled. If you do not use OneFinger, it is the right time
to give it another try. Please delete the ~/.one-finger directory
before launching the new version. This is important to ensure correct
behavior.

Gmail review
Gmail review
04/11/2004 05:14 PMI don't know if it's due to the increased pressure on spammers or
what, but since I put the post up Friday night begging for spam I've
only gotten one spam email. It showed up about 5 hours after the post
was up and I haven't gotten anything since. It didn't flag it as spam,
which I assume is a feature Google will be developing more as time
goes on (or perhaps auto-recognition of spam isn't turned on yet). A
lot of friends have imported spam to see if gmail would auto-flag it
and no one seems to have tripped any spam filters yet. Oh, the spam
was also in Chinese, which gmail didn't do such a hot job displaying,
but I'm sure they're still working the unicode bugs out in the
beta.
update: apparently the spam filters are turned on
and working well, because checking my empty spam folder this sunday
afternoon, I found three Nigerian 419 scams, automatically filtered
into the spam folder. Cool!
I can say that after using gmail for a few days I finally get what
everyone is raving about. On first glance there's nothing impressive
there. To see what it is capable of doing well, you have to
use it: get a few email discussions going with folks and the
more you use it the more obvious the benefits become. I bet you could
say the same thing about blogging. Show a blog or the Blogger.com app
to someone that has never seen it or heard of blogging. I'm sure
they'd dismiss it as nothing special, one page being some sort of
boring public diary, while the app itself is just a giant form and a
button marked "post and publish", whatever that means.
Gmail is pretty incredible about tracking discussions. I've tried
several email packages that offer threading and gmail's is simpler and
more straightforward. It automatically trims replies and shows email
threads as top-down discussions, so it's easy to keep track of where
people are in a discussion. Replying to email is really easy, you just
start typing in the textarea below a message and it automatically
starts a response.
Gmail relies on the universal inbox with good searching and flags.
A lot of email power users I know have no filters of any kind,
prefering everything to drop into the inbox with custom quick searches
to find stuff and generous use of the flag message command. It takes a
little getting used to if you've been using filters for a long
time.
Everyone's raving about the keyboard shortcuts, but I haven't
gotten to use them much. I assume that's a power user feature I'll
pick up eventually. So far I've been impressed by email address
auto-completion. That's something I've never seen in a web app before
and it's quite a time-saver. As I get more familiar with it, I hope to
be able to navigate all my mail with simple keystrokes.
I think Google's really got something amazing here. It's a useful
app that feels almost like desktop software, the storage means you
never have to delete anything, and the simple flags and searching in a
threaded inbox is both a power users and new users dream setup. As
this develops along, I just might convert over to it from pop and imap
based accounts.
