06/13/2004 06:23 PMSee, what the
mode
rn supermen of
Parkour can do.
Try the first video, it impressed the hell out of me at least.
In ancient Japan, ninjas were often described as supermen, able to
fly, leap onto the roofs of tall buildings, climb anything... Some
colour was of course added by their enemies (who wrote the history) to
make them appear more fearsome - and of course, the ninjas did not
mind: it made their life a lot easier. Seeing those videos makes me
wonder the effect a trained ninja must've had on his enemies, trained
to combat on level ground and horseback.
Terror.

06/21/2004 11:28 PMSince my accident I have been to the x-ray room 7 times to catscan
three times and one MRI. I am sure my insurance company will be happy
with the bill these have been invaluable in evaluating the before and
after results of my surgery and to track the healing progress.
Today while on a non-standard follow up to try and determine the
source of a some isolated pain I have been having they pulled out a
dozen images and did some quick comparison. They used a technique
where the 2 images are loaded and then major differences are pointed
out in affected areas. Being nothing was found they think I have a
nerve causing the pain or isolated muscle spasms.
I left the clinic feeling relieved that nothing had shifted and not
looking forward to taking the new prescription. For those of you that
have ever taken flexirol (spelling is probably wrong) you will
understand why I have not been posting much.

Waterphobia in the modern age
Waterphobia in the modern age
06/22/2005 02:23 AMOn Friday my friend Rich asked for a ride up to the Wiscasset
airport (KIWI) on the
central Maine coast. He wanted to take his dad and I had already
arranged to practice approaches with a CFI buddy so it was fortunate
that the Cirrus had only "tab fuel" on board (26 gallons, good for 2.3
hours). It was an uneventful instrument flight up towards
Portland, mostly on top of a layer of clouds at 2500'. Once on
the ground at Wicked Good Aviation we petted the big Black Lab
and his 6-month-old puppy friend then borrowed the "courtesy
car", an old Cadillac that would have been called a gas-guzzler
until the SUV came along and demonstrated that 18 mpg is not
as low as a family car can go. After chatting with the
contractors who are fixing up a house on the peninsula, Rich said
"let's take the boat over across the cove to a restaurant." We
ferried ourselves out to the boat's mooring via canoe and had an
uneventful trip to and from the restaurant, which is next to an old
Civil War-era fort at the mouth of the Kennebec River. At the
end of the boat ride we had to ferry ourselves back from the mooring
about 20' to the beach via the canoe. I got out on the beach and
watched as Rich and my CFI buddy went back to pick up Rich's
dad. As soon as he stepped from the boat into the canoe the
canoe flipped over, dumping everyone and everything into the salt
water.
What do three average Americans carry when they are in a boat these
days? Cell phones, digital cameras, etc. In the 1950s the
total cost of this incident would have been a little time to let the
clothing and wallet dry. On Friday the total cost of the
electronic items destroyed was closer to $5000.

01/02/2005 11:26 AMModern Drunkard claims to be mainly serious with the goal of returning
"drinking to the glorious Rat Pack/Jackie Gleason Era." It celebrates
the fun of drinking and rails against what it thinks of as Puritanical
forces of repression (including MADD). The latest, and perhaps last,
printed issue was published last August. [Thanks to my brother Andy,
who is not any sort of drunkard, for the link.] And with this post, I
am now the record holder for the shortest cognitive-emotional
distance. Yes! But, heck, it's a blog. We're supposed to have short
cognitive-emotional spans....

Modern Ruins are a
window into human histories, they tell the stories of the past through
the
stark
presence of objects and
architectures. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of
ruins is the
subject that is
missing in the
photographs; the people who once worked, lived, walked, talked, slept
and dreamed in these
spaces.

A tale of modern day slavery
A tale of modern day slavery
08/11/2004 08:22 AM
Slavery is not just the shameful stuff of history books - not in
Florida. Last year, 7 journalists spent 9 months in a
behind-the-scenes exploration of the state's immigrant workers. In
more than 30 articles and photo essays, they revealed a system where
workers are threatened, beaten, locked up, injured, forced into
prostitution, and trapped in a spiral of debt and abuse. Powerful
forces are arrayed against them in a state where agricultural laws are
shaped by politician-farmers who have a vested interest in the status
quo.

Modern Chinese Secret
07/23/2004 01:25 PMMATT GALLANT -- Two researchers at the
Hong Kong Polytechnic University have developed a process to coat
cotton clothing and textiles with titanium dioxide so that, when
exposed to sunlight or artificial UV, the "dirt, pollutants and
micro-organisms" that have collected on the treated fabric will be
broken down and presumably fly right off into the air, and only some
of it will go up your nose.
One of the researchers, Dr. Xin, says the self-cleaning clothes are
ideal for people who lack the time to wash their clothes, like
"military people", or hikers, or people who have to take care of the
meddlesome Dr. Benton Quest and that infuriating tow-headed boy of his
before they ruin everything.

discover that it was utterly painless under Perl 5.8.x. I wish I had

02/16/2004 12:57 AMApparently, the car racing video game Gran Tourismo has been so
popular helping automakers sell cars to young adults, that many car
companies are starting to
put out their own video games and are setting up places to play
the games in dealerships. The article talks about kids who play Gran
Tourismo and get so involved in modding and driving a specific car
that they want that car in real life as well. However, now that the
automakers are realizing this is a good way to sell cars, some are
wondering if the fad is over, suggesting that as soon as the folks in
suits figure something out, the kids know better than to stick around.
Still, it's yet another example of companies realizing that you're
better off creating promotional items that people
want, and
then getting them out there into the world.

Howling at the Moon: Modern-day
Lycanthropy
04/13/2004 06:10 AMIf the legends are to be believed, lycanthropy has been with us since
King Lycaon was transformed into a wolf, in retribution for serving
human flesh to Zeus during a dinner party in ancient Greece. Ever
since, the werewolf has followed the human race through whispered
tales and popular myth, stalking towns and villages from the Caucasus
to Colorado. The popularity and seeming irrationality of these stories
has been a traditional target for debunkers of the supernatural.
Rationalisations of the werewolf myth have stretched from theories of
rabies infection to ergot poisoning. More difficult to dispel has been
the delusional convictions of people with clinical lycanthropy. Often
submerged in intense psychosis, affected individuals report the
feeling of transformation into various forms of animal, some
experienced as so unusual, the animal has yet to be identified.

Alan Moore on our modern distopia
07/22/2004 02:31 AMSalon has an excellent interview with Alan Moore, the man behind
Watchmen, From Hell and other canonically awesome funnybooks. Moore
talks distopian politics:
One of the reasons we singled out media in "V for Vendetta" was
because it is one of the most useful tools of tyranny. We invite it
into our own home every night; I'm sure that some of us think of it as
a friend. That might be a horrifying notion but I'm sure there are
people who think of television as perhaps one of their most intimate
friends. And if the TV tells them that things in the world are a
certain way, even if the evidence of their senses asserts it is not
true, they'll probably believe the television set in the end. It's an
alarming thought but we brought it upon ourselves. I mean, I think
that television is one of the most diabolical -- in the very best
sense of the word -- inventions of the past century. It has probably
done more to degrade the mind and intelligence of its audience, even
if they happen to be drug addicts or alcoholics; I would think that
watching television has done more to limit their horizons in the long
run. And it has also distorted our culture.
TV and politics have always made inevitable bedfellows, but the
results have been disastrous. Look at the situation we have now. Let's
say that tomorrow someone who is a political genius were to emerge --
and I'm not expecting this to happen, but say that it did. Say that a
politician emerged who seemed, for once, basically competent, who
seemed to be able to do their job as well as the average cab driver,
comic writer or journalist. If they were the most intelligent,
visionary, humane political thinker in the history of mankind, but
were also fat, had some sort of blemish or something that made them
less than telegenic, we would not be able to elect them. All we're
able to elect are these telegenic, photogenic crypto-Nazis. As long as
they look good. I suppose it's too early to go into my rant on Ronald
Reagan? That would be tasteless.
