Comedy of Errors

Comedy of Errors 08/09/2004 07:19 AM
My family loves Shakespeare & Co. up in Lenox where we're currently on vacation. We've been going to its performances for about twenty years now. A couple of nights ago, we saw a preview of Comedy of Errors. (Hint: It's the one with the two Dromios, no Rosalind, and doesn't take place in Verona.) Shakespeare & Co.'s performances are always lively, bawdy, and understandable. The troupe is first rate. Their performances IMO feel like Shakespeare as he was seen by his contemporaries. Yet, this performance wasn't my favorite. Too much mugging, too broad, too hectic. Yes, it's a farce with...

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance 12/19/2003 11:36 AM
To say that The Conqueror, the Howard Hughes-backed film about Ghengis Kahn with John Wayne as the lead, is an awful film is somewhat of an understatement. Bad acting in the hot Nevada desert surrounded by radiation from the Yucca Flats lead to around 90 people getting cancer and 30 dying from it. They even shipped radioactive sand back to Hollywood for extra scenes. Lost in La Mancha doesn't seem so bad in retrospect.

Sony vs. The PSP Importers - A Comedy

Sony vs. The PSP Importers - A Comedy 06/24/2005 04:03 PM

Welcome to cuckoo world! Sony, in all their majestic wisdom, has decided to hunt down and kill PSP importers in the UK. Let's read this, shall we? "The Japanese electronics giant Sony is demanding that companies importing its hotly anticipated PlayStation Portable to Britain reveal their customers' identities so the equipment can be tracked down."

Now, why would they do this? Because they are crazy? Because Sony CEO Sir Howard Lancelot Stringer Esq. has finally gone all Howard Hughes on us? Are those purchasers of Japanese PSPs in there on the Rainy Isle using them to mount an offensive against the Sony Yakuza stronghold or are they attempting to pay $400 for a game device. Next week: Sony kills and eats babies.

Sony bid to stop grey imports [Guardian]

UPDATE - Ok, so they don't eat babies so much.

Lauren Weinstein outwits Comedy
Central's humiliation show 06/21/2004 03:34 PM
LVX23 sez: "Beware! You could be next! Net pundit & privacy advocate Lauren Weinstein was almost ensnared by the greedy talons of a Viacom/MTV "reality" charade. Thanks to some clever web research she was able to uncover the con and spare herself himself humiliation in front of a national audience."

"At first I found nothing again. But then I started working backwards from the contact phone numbers I had for the show's production staff. This time I hit pay dirt, and while the pages unscrolled on my screen a cold chill ran down my spine. As the recent, angry testimonials I had found recounted, with a matching of modus operandi that left no chance for error, the show on which I was about to appear was a fraud. Not really a debate at all, the show is actually a program for Comedy Central (yes, an MTV/Viacom network) called "Crossballs" -- and its sole purpose is the embarrassment and humiliation of the expert guests who are brought on expecting a legitimate discussion program."

Greetings from Central Europe!

Greetings from Central Europe! 04/25/2004 09:51 AM

To calibrate, when it's 3:20PM here, it's 9:20AM in Boston, and 6:20AM in California. As predicted, no sleep on the plane. Got into Amsterdam via train from the airport at 8AM local time, waited in the hotel lobby, met some people from the UK, went to breakfast, waited some more in the hotel lobby, they took pity on me and gave me the first available room at 10:30AM, I showered and slept and woke up at 3PM or so, and immediately (of course) had to figure out how to get online.

Which proved to be a puzzle. They had no power on the airplane last night, but I read about it in the online magazine. They said sometimes you have to pull the battery on your laptop to get it work because the laptop-plus-battery consumes too much juice, but the laptop-itself is okay. When I plugged the laptop into the converter, the light on the power-brick would pulse and the machine would start up and then hibernate, over and over. I tried to charge my iPod and it wouldn't charge. So I tried pulling the battery on the laptop and voila, it runs. So I am able to get online (for 17.5 euro a day, what a ripoff) but my battery isn't charging, which is a problem I have to solve. Any suggestions, send them here.

So why do you tune into Radio Dave? I hope it's for insights like this. When you arrive in Europe, as I did today, you realize how strange the place you live is. We don't have wind mills. We don't have great train stations under our airports. We don't have giant ferris wheels in the central square of our nation's capital to celebrate our queen, and we don't have a queen. But I'll tell you one thing we share. TCP/IP and 802.11b. Amidst all the childish squabbling of tech companies and their infantile engineers, and pundits who steer markets toward higher consulting fees (for them), we managed to get some really nice compatibility. My power adapter may not work here, but my XML-RPC stack does.

Barefoot in Central Park

Barefoot in Central Park 06/24/2005 05:13 PM

A really interesting article in today's New York Times, Kick Off Your Shoes and Run Awhile, discusses a developing trend: running barefoot.

During the past decade two barefoot-style training methods for runners have been developed based on the same principle: that legs, not shoes, are the best shock absorbers. That is, you land on your forefoot, instead of your heel, and paw back.

Many people now think that structured running shoes are leading to "lazy feet", that is feet that have under-developed muscles and are therefore more prone to injury. Running barefoot, or with new less structured shoes, may help strengthen feet and eventually lead to less injury. I'm curious about the claim, though not entirely convinced. The article says a lot of things that make sense to me.
