Confessions of a Car Salesman

Confessions of a Car Salesman 01/26/2004 01:55 PM
Edmunds (the car buyer information company) send a reporter undercover to work as a car salesman and report back on the tricks of the trade. It's a great read, and there's a dealer jargon glossary at the end of the piece.

Pounder - A deal with $1,000 profit in it. "Doctor comes in and buys the top of the line model, fully loaded - and he pays sticker! That'll be a two pounder for me."

Rip their heads off - This describes taking a customer to the cleaners. "I stole their trade in, I sold them the car at a grand over sticker - I mean, I just ripped their heads off."

Roach - A customer with bad credit. Not to be confused with the "roach coach" (see entry below). "The guy looked good. But we ran his credit and he turned out to be a roach. We're talkin' a 400 credit score here."

Confessions of a <br /> tag addict

Confessions of a <br /> tag addict 12/09/2002 12:06 AM

I'm going to admit it. I was addicted to <br /> tags. Remember, the first step to recovery is admitting your problem. I never used <p> tags. NEVER. I don't know why, but I was addicted to using code like the following:

Text goes here, and I want to start a new paragraph... so
I'm going to...

<br /> <br />

Then I start the next paragraph here. Blah Blah Blah

I know, its sick looking. Ugly, bad, bad code. But what can I say? I didn't know better. I guess it all started in my youth, when compliant markup was the least of my concerns, and I was just worried about how it looked, rather than how I made it look that way.

Now I know better. I'm not going to use the <br /> tag to separate paragraphs again. I just hope that the god of XHTML has it in their heart to forgive me.

All of my entries are now <br /> free. Except for of course when it is called for to use it.

Take it from me young coders, <br /> tags aren't as much of a friend as they seem to be. Use them only when you need to. For example, the following is a correct use:

<blockquote cite="http://www.dailyzen.com/">
<p>Better than a thousand hollow words<br />
is one word that brings peace.<br />
Better than a thousand hollow verses<br />
is one verse that brings peace.<br />
It is better to conquer yourself<br />
than to win a thousand battles.</p>
<p>-from the <cite>Dhammapada</cite>, 
via <a href="http://www.dailyzen.com/">Daily
Zen</a></p>
</blockquote>

The following is not:

This is supposed to be a paragraph.

<br /> <br />

This is supposed to be a paragraph.

The above code should look like this:

<p>This is supposed to be a paragraph.</p>

<p>This is supposed to be a paragraph.</p>

This was just a friendly reminder. Don't get too caught up with those <br /> tags.

Confessions of an iPod owner

Confessions of an iPod owner 01/04/2005 11:07 AM
So, I've been an iPodder for two weeks now. I have never before owned a portable music player - not a Walkman, not a CD player, nothing. The closest thing so far has been my laptop, to which I attach myself using an umbilical^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Haudio cable. And it's been fun. But with the iPod Mini, I can take my music now everywhere!

Or so one would think.

I have noticed some interesting... issues in this while iPod thing. Let me recount a few of them:

• First of all - this thing is damned inconvenient: The headphone wires get trapped in a multitude of latches and notches and creases and folds I didn't even know that my jacket has. In the end, I am crouching down to avoid the headphones from being ripped off my head while furiously trying to reel the wire out of my jacket. Perhaps I should live in California - portable players are definitely not designed for winter clothing.
• The volume is too loud or too soft. This is entirely a matter of ambient noise: when I'm walking on the street, the car noise drowns out any music - in the office the music is too loud for my ears. And yeah, I've heard of volume control. The thing just is that if I were to drown the street noises (75+ dB), with noise that's 20 dB more, I would almost certainly get permanent hearing loss. I'm sure Spinsteri can fill you in on the interesting details.
• (And I do have a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Unfortunately, they're so big that they really make problem 1 and 3 stand out - not to mention problem 4.)
• People look at me strangely when I'm jamming to a particularly good tune. I seem to be completely unable to listen to music as just "background noise". I'm currently typing this text to the exact rhythm of Schiller's GlΓΌck und ErfΓΌllung...
• Loss of awareness. I've noticed I'm far less aware of my surroundings - and in the urban jungle, this is dangerous, potentially even fatal. For many years, I trained myself to notice everything - and now I'm deliberately muting down my only omnidirectional sense.
• Overall strangeness of standing in the slushy Helsinki, waiting for a tram, and having the image of Kylie Minogue's butt bouncing before my (mental) eyes as she sings inside my head the song Can't get you out of my head NO! I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD! GO AWAY!
• The fact that even with automatic intelligence, song scoring, hand-crafted playlists - the damned thing still does not play exactly the music I want at that instant! Why is it playing Kate Bush if I want to listen to CMX?
• In my daily schedule, there are very few instances that I am not with my laptop or a TV or a CD player or any other source of music. In fact, the only times are while I'm on the street or shopping - and on those occasions it's too noisy to use it. So the only reason to have it is to listen to music while jogging (or going to the gym, which I have simply not managed to do ever since an unpleasant experience 14 years ago).
• 4GB is surprisingly plenty to keep all my music - and therefore I come to realize how single-sided and boring my music tastes really are...

I guess all this comes from the jarring realization (spawned by this brilliant Slashdot comment[1]) that I don't need a portable music player - never have, never will. Nobody needs a portable music player. Apple has understood this, and is extraordinarily expertly creating a cult of "want" around a small silvery box. The iPod is well-engineered, I grant you that, but so are many other MP3 players. It integrates really nicely into iTunes, and is very usable.

But an iPod is still a complete and utter vanity item. Apple has managed to do what every single brand maker in the world sees wet dreams about (aside from Kylie Mino

Confessions of an EBay opium addict

Confessions of an EBay opium addict 04/11/2005 03:22 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Scary first person account by a guy who buys "decorative" poppy pods on eBay and uses them to make opium tea. He admits being hopelessly hooked on the vile tasting stuff, and has spent all his money supporting his habit.

By a month, I was drinking the juice of upward of 60 crushed pods per day--swallowing gallons of liquid and pissing out about $300 a week worth of tea matter. Bowl after bowl of blissful narcotic bloat that I sucked down with a silly straw.

Often, late into a session, I’d get that uncontrollable opiate itch.

Raking my skin with a giant plastic comb seemed to help. Occasionally, I’d bleed or accidentally scrape a piece of a mole right off.

The thing is, heroin gets you addicted to heroin. But opium is 40 to 50 different alkaloids, meaning 40 to 50 different drugs I was becoming addicted to.

Cincinnati, Ohio, tries sponsorship model: A small firm in Cincinnati is gathering sponsors to fund free Wi-Fi in a number of places around town. Roadrunner is handling installation. The article describes the founder calling it a public/private partnership, but it's all private businesses involved so far, although they will apparently be gaining access to public buildings and spaces to deploy the hotspots. Henderson, Kentucky, just in time for blues festival: Downtown Henderson has free Wi-Fi at the riverfront and two parks. This allows visitors to W.C. Handy Blues and Barbecue Festival to have Wi-Fi with their ribs. Tokyo, Japan, will have 2,200 power-line mounted access points: The Livedoor Company is setting up the network around Tokyo charging less than $5 per month (¥525) for unlimited access. Fuji Television will use the service to send video back from Tokyo locations to its studios. It commences in late July within what's described as the entire JR Yamanote Loop Line commuter train's service area by October. Lievdoor wants 1 million customers. They'll invest ¥700 million (US$6.5 million), but plan ¥10 to ¥15 billion (US$90 to $140 million) for a national service. [link via Keio Oyama]...
