I'm a little bit country?

I'm a little bit country? 02/01/2005 08:42 PM

On Saturday I attended MaxItOut, a local charity event inspired by a 4-year old bacterial meningitis survivor whose parents are friends of mine. Bradbury Software was among the event's sponsors, which led to an almost surreal experience.

The fundraiser featured performances by country music stars, and the logos of each sponsor were projected onto a screen during the entire concert. For me, it was, well, very unusual to see the "TopStyle" and "FeedDemon" logos appear behind Keith Urban, Faith Hill and Wynonna as they played.

For the record, I've never been a huge country music fan, but I'm so glad that I attended the event and offered a small contribution through my sponsorship. Well over a quarter of a million dollars was raised for meningitis research, and nobody left that night without being touched by the dedication of parents whose children are affected by the disease.

2.2km – Van, speeding, being tailgated by a second. Both are passed by a third.

4.9km – Houses.

5.7km – Guy pulled over to take a whiz on the side of the road.

7.1km – White Peugeot flipped over the night before.

10.3km – Four gendarmes in a small marked car, just tooling around.

13.5km – Same hunter with same shotgun leans against same van, waiting.

15.0km – Old man, bicycle, cap, sweater vest, baguette, the full deal.

16.3km – Tall balding Canadian in sensible Passat wagon (the car’s name is Bob) ponders the logic behind burning a CD on which ‘Straight Outta Compton’ is followed by ‘Sk8er Boi’, then remembers something he said years ago that was completely dickheaded, then winces, then decides that it makes more sense that the first thing you see after clicking the Pages tab is the Default layout in editable form, rather than a list, because ninety nine times out of a hundred that’s what you’re going for anyway.

Can The US Can Spammers Outside The
Country? 04/30/2004 12:16 PM
It turns out that not only did the feds charge some American spammers under CAN SPAM this week, but they also went after some Australian spammers as well. The article is unclear, but it sounds like they're not using CAN SPAM for the complaint against the Australian spammers, but are instead going after them for fraudulent advertising. Still, it does raise the question about how far the arms of US law can reach in going after spammers. I imagine it's not so difficult to go after Australian spammers, since the two countries are closely aligned and are likely to cooperate. However, as spammers migrate to less closely allied countries, will the feds be able to do anything?

Pride In One's Country 11/11/2003 10:33 AM
Are You, Deep Down, Secretly, Between-You-And-Me, Proud Of Your Country? Even if you're not Canadian? Because a lot of people in the world, no matter how badly run their country might be, seem to be just that. Isn't it weird, though - and, well, stupid - to be proud of something that just happened to happen to us and that we've done nothing to deserve, whether for good or for bad? A more telling question that occurs is: what nationality would you choose to be, if you couldn't be the one you are? Here's the menu.

Advantages of a country with one big
city

Advantages of a country with one big
city 01/07/2004 03:45 PM

Today is the first day of the trip away from Buenos Aires, the megacity of Argentina.  I've arrived at Iguazu Falls (staying at the massive Sheraton right in the park).  It is the closest thing in South America to Niagara but less straightforward and more complex.  The lush scenery of the surrounding subtropical jungle and warm mud-colored water is also quite different.  Puerto Iguazu is a backwater town of 28,000 people, steaming in the heat and humidity of the southern summer.  But really when you think about it every place in Argentina outside of B.A. is a backwater.  The negative consequences of having one huge city dominate a country are obvious:  congestion, traffic, pollution, high real estate prices.  But perhaps there are positive consequences.

In Argentina people move to B.A., if they aren´t already there, when it is time for university.  After graduation, they stay in B.A. to work at high-level jobs.  If you make friends in college, chances are that they'll be living within an easy Metro or taxi ride for the rest of your life.  Unlike Americans, Argentines don't sag in the evenings, exhausted from their jobs.  Perhaps there is some napping at 6 or 7 but your friends might call you up at 9 pm and a big group will meet for dinner at 10.

Compare to the U.S.  Friends gather in, say, the Boston area for college.  They disperse for graduate school, each taking the most advantageous offer regardless of location from universities that might be anywhere in the 50 states.  After graduate or professional school, people who might have become friends disperse again, each one taking the best-sounding job offer regardless of location.  We achieve a lot in our careers and make reasonably good use of our vast territory but wouldn't it be nicer if our friends weren't strewn out across a 3000-mile wide continent?

Arrival in a Narrow Country

Arrival in a Narrow Country 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

Flew from Miami to Panama City, Panama yesterday.  While sitting in a comfortable leather seat aboard an American Airlines 757 and eating a filet mignon lunch, I looked down at Cuba.Supposedly they have everything to which we Americans aspire, i.e., universal health care and an excellent public education system.  Yet Cubans are dirt poor and it is we ignorant and infirm residents of the United States who designed and built the 757.  The comparison isn't quite fair but really you'd think that the Cubans, being so well educated and blessed with a large and fertile country, would have done better for themselves.  Perhaps politics do matter, a sobering thought as Election 2004 sweeps across the U.S.

Graham, a Kiwi flight instructor from www.helipan.com, picked me up at the big international airport here (PTY) and, after a brief stop to change into shorts, we went to the small domestic airport and preflighted a Robinson R22 helicopter, removed the doors, and, with the Pacific Ocean at our backs, took off north along the Canal.  A moderate rain, unseasonable this time of year in Panama, pelted my bare skin though the gaping holes in the sides of the machine, now approaching its 100 mph (160 kph) cruising speed.  Soon the rain ended, however, and we were abeam the magnificent Miraflores Locks. After skirting the airspace over a prison and a rainforest resort we dropped down to 500' over the jungle bordering Lake Gatun, the heart of the Panama Canal.  A few minutes later we were coming up on Colon, the big city and free trade zone at the Caribbean end of the Canal. After a quick glance down at the collapsed rusting rooftops of downtown Colon it is not hard to believe that this is the unemployment, poverty, and crime capital of the nation.

"... children run about in rags and the city's largely black
population lives in rotting buildings.  ... If you walk its streets,
even in th emiddle of the day, expect to get mugged.  It really is
that bad."

-- Lonely Planet guidebook (this is a publisher that thinks
Columbia is a nice safe country to visit!)

Cruising at 80 mph west from Colon, 50' above the breakers, we reached the mouth of the Rio Chagres, whose prodigious flow in the rainy season stymied the Canal builders.  This is the river that the pirate Henry Morgan used in 1671 to gain access to the original settlement of Panama City.  On the cliffs above the sea is the ruined Fuerte San Lorenzo, built to protect the Spanish gold trade from guys like Henry Morgan.  Adjacent to the fort is a partially fenced grassy area. Graham decided to put the R22 down there.  We walked around the fort for a bit, looked at the rusty cannon, and then fired up for the return trip to Panama City, landing just at sunset.

Then it was back to the hotel for a shorts-and-T-shirt dinner at a table outdoors, on a patio overlooking Canal-bound ships going underneath the Puente de las Americas.  The helicopter pilots talked about their jobs on the tuna boats here.  The 200'-long tuna boats carry a light helicopter so that the captain can go up and coordinate the action of little speed boats that collect the nets.  When the work is done the pilot has to land on a rolling metal deck, often spread with a net to provide friction.  "Sounds like landing on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier," I observed.  "Oh, it is much harder than that," the pilots noted.  "Remember that this is a very small ship and it goes up and down with the waves a lot more."  Tuna boat helicopter pilots tend to be young and unmarried.
