04/08/2005 06:26 PMJonathan Schwartz of Sun is out giving his talk again about how
subscription fees are the way of the future for buying
anything. One of his favorite examples (he's used it for quite
some time) is that people will
buy
cars the way they buy mobile phones, where the device/car itself
is free or close to fee, but there's a regular subscription fee that's
locked in (he also likes to talk about how people will download
"horn-tones" for their car, but that's a different story). He goes on
to point out that for a car, this fee would be $220 -- noting that the
carmakers have already thought about this. Beyond asking the obvious
question (um
which car are we talking about here -- because I
imagine that a BMW is going to cost me more per month than a Hyundai),
isn't this
already how many people buy cars? It's called a
loan or a lease. They buy the car with a little bit of money down,
but pay regularly to cover the rest of the cost of the car. In fact,
I'm sure, for some people and some cars, the amount is somewhere
around $220. So, this isn't particularly amazing. It's not even new.
It's just taking an existing business model and changing what you
call everything. Who knew it was so easy to be considered a
visionary?

Researchers from Cambridge and Light Blue Optics,
Ltd. have developed a prototype pocket-sized, battery-powered video
projector -- or at least the technology that should, in the mythical
two to five years, lead to one. The trick is a total lack of lenses or
light bulbs, but instead to display a two-dimensional hologram on a
microdisplay then shine a laser through it, which scatters the light
into a larger, projected picture. Projectors are great -- I'm about to
pick up a cheap one, myself. If they could slip these into cellphones
or PDAs, there would be no need for roll-up screens or dorky
mirrorshade HUDs at all. All you'd need is a clean wall and a total
blotting out of the star we call our sun.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a great community we have.
Thank you for providing us with more mirrors.
Matthew Healey member of the Western
Australian Macintosh User Group and their
ISP extremedsl
are providing Fink with a full mirror in Perth, Australia. This is
our first
mirror in down under, thus I am pleased to welcome them to the
family.
Furthermore the UKMIRROR service
has accepted us, making distfile services available for Fink
on 21 load balanced server.
We are very happy about this development, but we still need more
rsync mirrors.
Thus, once more, if you feel like helping, please visit
finkmirrors.net and get in touch.
More mirrors....pretty please?

While we welcome our latest full mirror in Norway, sponsored by Havar
Valeur,
we crave more. To improve our service to all of you, we would
like to ask that
you evaluate carefully if you maybe do have the resources to
become a mirror.
All it takes is a 10Mbit link, around 100MB of disk space and
some bandwidth you are
willing to share for Fink. The exact setup instructions for
rsync mirrors can be found
here. Especially mirrors in
Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Europe and Middle Europe
are welcome, since we have none in
those regions yet. If you feel generous and wish to donate
even more resources, please visit
finkmirrors.net to learn about your options.
The current status of all available rsync mirrors can be
viewed on the finkmirrors.net pages as well.
We hope to improve this service in the future, yet this
depends on your willingness to help us out.
We are looking forward to many new applications and thank our
community in advance.

09/21/2004 10:38 AMHow about those scientists, always coming up with neat new
technology? What with the not-being-able-to-see issue featuring
prominently for many people in hot and steamy conditions, University
of Queensland physicists have created a permanent coating for mirrors,
glasses, and car windshields that keeps them from fogging up. If
you're more into greenhouses and solar energy than convenience, the
coating also cuts out reflections and thereby enables more light to
get through the glass. Even more exciting, the stuff is simple, cheap,
and environmentally friendly to create. All the janitors down at the
coin-op strip joint are going to be so excited!

Finks decision to gradually build its own network of mirrors
has payed off. To make sure that we can continue to offer
a high quality service we need to improve our mirror network.
It has been some time since we last asked for more mirrors.
It is time to do so again. Fink is very grateful for the resources
granted to us by our community. To further improve our service to the
community we require an even better mirror system. We especially lack
mirrors in central Europe, Russia and the Far East. If you feel that
you have at least two Mbit to spare for a rsync mirror or more to
offer
a distfiles mirror please contact us.
To get a better understanding of the different types of mirrors
Fink offers, please go and review finkmirrors.net. This is the
official homepage for all mirror related issues.
If you feel that you can offer other types of resources,
web-space for testing as an example, please do not hestitate in
contacting us as well.

There are also several new options like

has been sponsored by the Jabucnjak Apple user group.
This is our first mirror in Europe, so I hope that more will be
joining us
soon.
Dave Schroeder from the University of
Wisconsin in Madison is sponsoring a 100Mbit dedicated Master

A. J. Wright and SunSITE@UTK are helping out with
another full mirror in the United states.
This raises our full mirror count to four and the rsync mirror count
to
five. We are happy to have such a great community back us up, but I
know
that more mirrors will join over time. I will not stop nagging you
until
Fink has its own mirror in every state of the USA. Yet, with such a
brilliant community backing us up, I am not too worried about not
reaching my goal very soon.
Trick or treat! Our most wanted treat is more mirrors, so come forth
Administrators and fill our bag. Information on how you can be a
mirror
can be found on the official

Half coated mirrors are a great
technique.....
04/27/2004 01:13 PMThis reminds me of a project we did at Bally-Midway in 1982 called
10 Ten Deluxe.
It was a shuffleboard bowling game with had a half-way mirror
displaying the bowling pins - in the proper position - but they were
really 90 degrees tilted, out of view. A half coated mirror made
it appear as if the pins were right in front of you, and you'd 'bowl'
with a shuffle puck.
This technique has always been the solution to a REAL BIG problem
that exists for video conferewncing.
Ever been in a video conference? Ever looked at someone eye
to eye? You can't.
'Cause the person on the other side is being videoed by a camera
which is NOT the display and the human is looking at the
display. So a half coated mirror technique (sort of like the
drawing below) would enable us to both look at the display and be
videoed at the proper angle.
The technique in this post is a little scarier. I'm not sure if I
want lasers so close to my eyes. But a camera shooting through a
half coated mirror to solve this problem - sounds fine to me.
Here's the post.......
Laser
vision.
You'll
have to feel totally comfortable with beaming lasers into your
eyes to want to try this out, but a company called Microvision has
come out with the Nomad Expert Technician System, which uses a
wireless computer and a sort of monocle to project a virtual image by
beaming lasers directly into the retina.
Microvision says
they're perfectly safe (they better hope so!), and the US Army is
already using them in Iraq to give soldiers a
heads-up
display with a view of the entire battlefield. Next up, they're being
tested by surgeons, who would actually be able to see inside of their
patients or keep taps on vital data like heart rate and blood pressure
during surgery, and Honda is trying it out with its auto mechanics,
who would be able to view car diagnostic and repair information while
working. Right now the quality of the images is pretty low, but you
know that they'll eventually get it right and it'll be full-color,
fully immersive virtual reality for everyone. Or at least everyone who
can afford it right now the Nomad Expert Technician System costs four
grand.

03/08/2004 11:14 PMDarin and I stood in Old Town, on the corner of Delacy and Green. It
was a magnificent night: eighty degrees, clear skies, the slightest
breeze stirring the young leaves on the trees behind us.
The whole area was packed with people who were taking advantage of the
unseasonably warm March evening: families and young couples crowded
the sidewalks, as a nearly-full moon slowly climbed the Eastern sky.
"Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?" I said.
"Getting the tires changed on my Jeep." He said.
"Want to get together and have a cigar? I haven't had a cigar in
months, and I'd like to take advantage of the warm weather."

06/17/2005 07:11 PM
I smoked today. Actually, I smoked just now with only 31 minutes
left in the day.
Not really a cigarrete even, more a mini-cigar that was sitting in
a forgotten corner
of the house until now. So horrible yet so comfortable. I've been
on nicotine candy
for the past three months and haven't been able to get off it.
That's not really quitting,
more like pausing. And I've been in an irritating state of mind for
the past three
months. Damn. I feel like a loser. The worst part of smoking these
days is the guilt.
I don't know if I am back to smoking or not yet. I am taking it one
day at a time
at this point. For now, allow me this pleasure of hating myself for
this self-inflicted
wound.

« Finnish pannukakku, cut into squares and layered with a fresh
fruit compote. »
pan·cake n.
A thin cake made of batter that is poured onto a hot greased surface
and cooked on both sides until brown. Also called flannel cake,
flapjack; Also called griddlecake, hotcake; also called regionally
battercake.
Aside from transcending cultures, pancakes also transcend social
classes. They are served in the simplest households and in the
grandest royal palaces.
American pancakes seem to have an almost mythological aura
surrounding them since so many Americans travel around and scoff at
what the locals call a pancake. Yankees with their pancakes and maple
syrup were pretty late on getting into the pancake scene as nearly
every culture has some kind of pancake as part of their regional
cuisine. There are likely as many different varieties of pancakes in
the US as there are states, too. But, America elevated the pancake to
a valued breakfast food and welcomed diners serving breakfast all day
and all night. Finding a good stack of pancakes with warm syrup and a
side of scrapple is sometimes difficult, but the pancake is more than
just a food, it's a feeling of being home. Pancakes are the basic
comfort food in the US.
Some of my fondest memories as a kid involve going to IHOP after
Sunday mass for a stack of pancakes topped with a smile fashioned from
2 maraschino cherry eyes, a whipped butter nose and a pineapple ring
smile. I despised going to church, but I sucked it up every week
knowing that I only had to suffer for an hour to be rewarded with
heavenly pancakes. I was easy back then. :) Even when I was older,
going to the all night diner for pancakes and eggs after drinking and
dancing was a cherished tradition. Finland may have pancakes but the
lack of diners or greasy spoons really is a gaping chasm in the
comfort food landscape.
Jarkko attempted to make a Finnish pancake for me at some point when
we were living back in Boston. He made three attempts and was
convinced that the milk or eggs were too different when he failed
every time to recreate his beloved pancake. I'm not sure what went
wrong, but I'm pretty certain that the eggs and milk in the US aren't
quite that different. Finland has a few different varieties of
pankcake; the lettu, a
crepe-like thin pancake that is fried on a large paella pan,
spread with strawberry jam and folded, the ohukkaat, small dollar
pancakes and the pannukakku, an oven baked pancake. All of these
use a similar, if not the same, batter. They are served a variety of
ways, depending on if they are sweet and served with jam or fresh
fruit, possibly with cream, or savoury and served with meat and
vegetables. Pancakes are very flexible.
I like the Finnish pancakes as what's not to love about a sweet,
fried/baked treat served with jam and cream? But, there are certain
foods that you eat as a child that become your basic measure of
familiarity, your comfort foods, and as much as I enjoy Finnish
pancakes, they just aren't the fluffy blueberry flapjacks served with
whipped butter and hot maple syrup with a side of scrapple and eggs
from my favourite diner back home. It works both ways though as, given
the choice between both the pannukakku and the German pancake in the
icebox, Jarkko goes for the pannukakku first. I wanted to solve the
mystery of the Finnish pancake not working in the US and I think that
maybe Jarkko just wasn't remembering the recipe correctly. Or
something. :) The Finnish pannukakku recipe is quite good and I'm
happy with it after sifting through about 40 different recipes on the
net and in a few cookbooks I have. I'm sure that it will work just as
well elsewhere in the world. I also wanted to make something American
[in spite of the 'German' in the name] that might meet somewhere
between the flapjack and the pannukakku. The German pancake is a baked
pancake that has fruit and cream in it, as well as a caramel sauce,
which are all popular standards in many Finnish desserts, but not
common in the pannukakku. If I had any maple syrup around I would try
that on it as well since it might swing the taste back towards home.
Pannukakku, maailman paras!/The world's best [Finnish]
Pancake!
Makes: about 35 small ohukkaat or 1 med-large pancake ~1-2 cm thick
or a reasonable number of waffles.
Time: about 80 minutes, including a 30 minute rest for the batter
Source: Ruoka ja Viini
-
8 dl or 3.5 cups milk
-
2-3 eggs
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 dl or 1/2 cup sugar
-
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar**
-
4 dl or 1.75 cups wheat flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
50-100g or 1/2-1 stick melted butter
-
In a bowl, whisk eggs until the yolks are broken and add milk.
-
Mix together dry ingredients. You can reduce the amount of sugar or
remove it entirely if you wish.
-
Add the dry ingredient mixture gradually into the egg-milk mixture,
stirring well.
-
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
-
Pour batter into baking pan covered in baking paper, place in a
cold oven and bake at 225C/425F for about 30 minutes. The baking paper
may also be greased with oil or melted butter so that the pancake
relases easily from the pan.
The pannukakku batter is very similar for all the varieties of
lettut [crepes], ohukkaat [dollar pancakes], vohvelit [waffles] and
pannukakku [pancake]. This particular recipe is excellent and,
perhaps, a bit on the sweet side but you can reduce the amount of
sugar or remove it entirely and add vegetables and/or some sort of
meat for a savory version. I also found that sifting the flour into
the mixture made a smoother batter since the egg and milk tend to make
unsifted flour form clumps. I used 75g of butter and thought it to be
a bit on the greasy side so using the 50g instead of the 100g
suggestion seems the better amount. The baking time will vary as I
found 30 minutes was not quite long enough as, even though it was
getting brown on top, the center was still a bit gooey.
**About vanilla sugar: Don't substitute vanilla extract for this.
The difference in taste is akin to the difference between a quart of
Bryer's Vanilla Ice Cream with the full bean and some other cheap
vanilla ice cream. Life is too short to use fake vanilla considering
that we may be the last generation to enjoy the real bean. You can
make your own if it's not readily available.
Vanilla Sugar
-
2-3 vanilla beans
-
2 cups confectioner's [or granulated] sugar
Slice down the side of the vanilla beans with a knife and scrape the
seeds into an airtight container with the sugar. Mix seeds into the
sugar and seal tightly with lid. Let sit for 1 to 2 weeks.
German Apple Pancake
Makes: 1 10" or 25cm diameter pancake
Time: about 1 hour
Special Equipment: Ovenproof skillet
Source: Cook's Illustrated
The perfect pancake should have crisp, lighter-than-air edges and a
custard-like center, with buttery sautéed apples baked right into the
batter.
A 10-inch ovenproof skillet is necessary for this recipe; we highly
recommend using a nonstick skillet for the sake of easy cleanup, but a
regular skillet will work as well. You can also use a cast-iron pan;
if you do, set the oven temperature to 425 degrees in step 1, and when
cooking the apples in step 3, cook them only until just barely golden,
about 6 minutes. Cast iron retains heat better than stainless steel,
making the higher oven temperature unnecessary.
-
1/2 cup or 1.25 dl unbleached all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon table salt
-
2 large eggs
-
2/3 cup or 1.5 dl half-and-half [half cream, half whole milk]
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 1/4 pounds or about .56 kg Granny Smith or Braeburn apples (3 to
4 large apples), peeled, quartered, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick
slices
-
1/4 cup or 1/2 dl light brown sugar or dark brown sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
confectioners' sugar for dusting
-
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position; pre-heat oven to
500F/260C degrees.
-
Whisk to combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in medium bowl.
In second medium bowl, whisk eggs, half-and-half, and vanilla until
combined. Add liquid ingredients to dry and whisk until no lumps
remain, about 20 seconds; set batter aside.
-
Heat butter in 10-inch/25cm ovenproof nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat until sizzling. Add apples, brown sugar, and
cinnamon; cook, stirring frequently with heatproof rubber spatula,
until apples are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in
lemon juice.
-
Working quickly, pour
batter around the edge of the skillet and over the top of the
apples. Place skillet in oven and immediately reduce oven
temperature to 218C/425F degrees; bake until pancake edges are brown
and puffy and have risen above edges of skillet, about 18 minutes.
-
Using oven mitts to protect hands, remove hot skillet from oven and
loosen pancake edges with heatproof rubber spatula; invert pancake
onto serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar, cut into wedges,
and serve.
This recipe is wonderful if you like apple pancakes. I did notice
that the baking time was a bit longer than 18 minutes. If you like
firmer apples, you can reduce the initial frying time by half. If you
lack a proper skillet, i.e. one with a plastic handle, you can likely
use a small baking pan if you heat it first in the oven and quickly
transfer the apples to it after frying them. Be sure to remove the
pancake from the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven since it
will stick if you leave it to cool for even a few minutes. Make
the caramel sauce as it complements the pancake perfectly, but prepare
it a few hours or even a day or two ahead of time as it seems that the
flavour blooms after resting and cooling for a while. A scoop of
vanilla ice cream is a tasty accompaniment, too.
Caramel Sauce
Makes about 1.5 cups or 3.5 dl
-
1/2 cup or 1.25 dl water
-
1 cup or 2.25 dl granulated sugar
-
1 cup or 2.25 dl heavy cream
-
1/8 teaspoon table salt
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
-
Place water in heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan; pour sugar in
center of pan, taking care not to let sugar crystals adhere to sides
of pan. Cover and bring mixture to boil over high heat; once boiling,
uncover and continue to boil until syrup is thick and straw-colored
(syrup should register 300F/150C degrees on candy thermometer), about
7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until syrup is
deep amber (syrup should register 350F/175C degrees on candy
thermometer), about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, bring cream and salt to simmer in small saucepan over
high heat (if cream boils before sugar reaches deep amber color,
remove cream from heat and cover to keep warm).
-
Remove sugar syrup from heat; very carefully pour about one quarter
of hot cream into it (mixture will bubble vigorously so don't use a
small saucepan), and let bubbling subside. Add remaining cream,
vanilla, and lemon juice; whisk until sauce is smooth. (Sauce can be
cooled and refrigerated in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)

07/21/2004 02:59 PMOver at Jeneane's, every topic is colored by her non-smoking non-haze
- the "the dissociative second-hand activity of smoking," as she says.
Really interesting. (Disclosure: My mother died of lung cancer about
10 years. .) For some reason, I remember Sartre writing that the hard
part of giving up smoking a pipe was the way its absence altered all
of the activities he used to do while smoking. Now, I don't think you
need a Nobel-award winning philosopher to point that out, but it does
get at what must be the hardest thing about giving up the drug:
