The amazing world of my French class

The amazing world of my French class 04/07/2005 10:43 AM
On the very first day of French class, Madame spent the good part of our first hour together having everyone state their name, where they were from, what they did, and what hobbies and/or activites they enjoyed. I was surprised (and relieved) to discover that I was the only American. And in fact, one of only two North Americans! I tried to jot down as best I could everyone's name and hometown. Roughly here's the summary by country: America (1) me! Brazil (3) China (5) Columbia (1) Japan (3) Korea (1) México (1) Poland (1) Russia (2) Spain (1) And what's even more interesting are the cities the group represents; the list reads like a "Great Cities of the World." Beijing, Moscow, México City, São Paolo, Shanghai, Tokyo...And of course, we're all in Paris learning French. It's pretty amazing. Also what's even more amazing is our teacher, who seems to be able to speak nearly all the languages of her students. Sometimes she'll translate something to English or Spanish (which today tripped up one of the Chinese students, who started to ask about a word and the teacher said, "No, that's Spanish!"), when she isn't using French to define things. But she also cracked some joke in Chinese that got the Chinese students chuckling. And yesterday she surprised us all when she went to the board and started writing in Russian! Madame le professeur est incroyable!

Um...I'll just have the salad, thanks.

The HIV virus has jumped from primates to people on at least seven separate occasions in recent history, not twice as is commonly thought. And people in Cameroon are showing up with symptoms of HIV, but are testing negative for both the virus and its primate equivalent SIV, the virus from which HIV is thought to have evolved. That suggests that new strains of an HIV-like virus are circulating in wild animals and infecting people who eat them, sparking fears that such strains could fuel an already disastrous global HIV pandemic.

Dead frog found in salad

Dead frog found in salad 06/24/2005 06:20 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Karpar says she found a small frog in her salad on Wednesday.

[T]oday, I found a frog in my salad from the company cafeteria.  Rest assured, I did not eat any of the frog, but it certainly was...erm- startling to say the least.  I returned the lunch to the cafeteria and got a refund.   The general manager will be contacting me later (he was not there when I returned the lunch).  My co-workers have reminded me that I have totally blown it since I could have sold it for big bucks on eBay to some casino.  Anyway, beware of the "organic" salad greens from Bon Appetit!

An amazing Year!

An amazing Year! 06/06/2005 12:01 AM

A 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.

Amazing Images - the BBC has a series of 10 pictures of fetuses at various stages of developments. There's no information about how they were obtained, but they are pretty striking. I imagine they must have been taken with one of the new ultrasound techniques (which are apparently called 4D imaging now).

It's truly incredible what you can see when you look down from the heights of idiocy -- the vistas are breathtaking. Right now I'm 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....

Apple I: the Mac is amazing

Apple I: the Mac is amazing 01/07/2004 02:43 PM
So 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).

Copy Editors Are Amazing 03/06/2004 02:09 AM
I spent a fair chunk of time this weekend going over the latest draft of the book. The figures are now in it, the layout is mostly done, and the copy editor has made a lot of changes to it. Those changes are often quite subtle but have a very obvious effect: they make the text readable. It's not that what we turned in wasn't readable, but compared to what we got back from the copy editor, it's like night...

The concept sounds great: Give voice commands to your computer, like ordering an obedient servant to bring you a cocktail. No more fumbling with an aging mouse or awkward trackball, no more slow typing on a keyboard. But so far, speech technology is a solid example of an idea well conceived but poorly executed.
