The almost pilot

The almost pilot 06/15/2004 07:43 PM
My new schedule of going back and forth between Nantucket and New York City means a lot of buses (blech) and a lot of flying (yay!). The last two trips I've been super lucky on Cape Air and I've sat in the co-pilot's seat. Cape Air flies Cessna 402's with a single pilot, meaning one lucky passenger each trip gets to sit up front in the co-pilot's seat. And lately that's been me! Taking off this afternoon from Logan Airport in Boston was especially fun because our little plane taxied along the runway with all the big jets, including an Air France 747. And since I can see all the dials and knobs, and there's a yoke right in my lap, it's like I'm almost the pilot. Except I don't really know how to fly. But I watch the air speed and altitude nonetheless. I've always loved flying, and these recent trips in small planes remind me just how much I love it. I think I'd really like to Learn to Fly. And then maybe someday I'll go from the almost pilot to the pilot pilot. Roger that!

Here's what your back pocket will do to a piece of paper after 6 days hard walking in London:

When I travel, I usually write everything that's super important to me down on a 8.5x11 piece of paper, fold it twice, and stick it in my pocket. That way, when I need to look up a phone number or jot down an address, I don't have to get out a notebook, my computer, or hunt around for a piece of scrap paper. And it won't ever get stolen like a cell phone or handheld might.

Unlike the Confederacy's CSS Hunley, the USS Alligato r never saw action, but it's historically significant nonetheless. Perhaps it can be recovered, as its Rebel cousin was.

Fog Creek Software

Fog Creek Software 11/03/2003 03:40 PM
It's site launch day again! Today's redesign is Fog Creek Software, purveyors of the popular CityDesk web publishing system and FogBugz bug database software. You've probably heard of Fog Creek's founder, Joel Spolsky, via his popular weblog, Joel on Software....

Why I Really Want to Work at Fog Creek

Why I Really Want to Work at Fog Creek 05/17/2004 03:04 PM

About Fog Creek Software: I wanted to send Joel Spolsky an email today, and I was prowling around the Fog Creek site looking his email address when I stumbled onto this "About Fog Creek" page. It's well-worth reading (which makes it a glaring exception to the average "worthless by definition" corporate "About" page).

In it, Joel explains how Fog Creek seeks to be the place at which every programmer dreams of working. To do this, he describes the programmer's nightmare:

...when we looked around, we discovered that the very companies that whine about not being able to find developers have working environments so bad they make Dilbert's cubicle-land look like paradise.

It starts with the physical environment (with dozens of cubicles jammed into a noisy, dark room, where the salespeople shouting on the phone make it impossible for developers to have a creative thought). But it goes much deeper than that. Managers, terrified of change, treat any new idea as a bizarre virus to be quarantined. Napoleon-complex junior managers insist that things be done exactly their way or you're fired.

Corporate Furniture Police writhe in agony when you tape up a movie poster in your cubicle. Disorganization is so rampant that even if the ideas are good, it's impossible to make a product out of them. Inexperienced managers practice hit-and-run management, issuing stern orders on exactly how to do things without sticking around to see the farcical results of their fiats.

The bit about the cubicles is awfully funny. I used to work for CitiGroup, and I was sent to their Hagerstown, Maryland center for a week back in...1999, I think.

Upon entering the IT area (wing? compound?), I was stopped dead in my tracks by the site before me — a field of cubicles so huge you almost couldn't see when it ended (and I'm 6'4", so I could see over the walls to start with). I know you all think you've seen a lot of cubicles before, but this was so over-the-top that it bordered on the surreal.

I remember thinking at the time that it reminded me of that last scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when the custodian wheels the crated ark into a massive warehouse where you assume it will sit forever. This ocean of cubicles was so big it almost disappeared over the horizon. Had I not been standing there, I would have thought it was a matte painting.

So, Fog Creek is evidently a great place to work. We've talked about Joel' s offices before, and I get jealous if I contemplate them too much. This bit didn't help either:

We never hesitate to buy the tools we need to get our work done (dual LCD monitors are standard issue, for example).

Yeah, I feel great now. Thanks.

(Also worth noting — this "About Fog Creek" page prints really well. A lot of thought was obviously put into the CSS to make sure that stuff that's useless in print (the menu for instance) didn't make it onto a piece of paper. Well done.)

La Parka!

You know, I hate wrestling. It personifies everything I hate about the American culture: admiration of abundant violence, conflict, strength - the "bigger is better" -syndrome, the fact that it is scripted but still some people believe it's all true... It reminds me so much of the ideas of the Roman gladiators - and the analogue to ancient Rome is also evident in some other ways that I do not go here. I've tried to watch WWE, and I've tried to understand it (and big thanks to those who helped me on this task), but no: that is something that I do not see worth understanding.

But today, I was introduced to Lucha Libre, the Mexican version of wrestling, where putting up a good show is far more important than winning. It has much more joy of pure movement and acrobatics, and in ways it reminded me of kung fu movies or a circus act. I'm sure that if I understood any Spanish, the dialogue would be as burlesque as in its American counterpart, but there frankly isn't too far of it. There was humour, wit, even affection in the show. The outrageous uniforms and masks (which have a lot of importance: once you lose your mask, you can never wear it again), and even the entrances are far more important than the action. This is not to say that there's no action; in fact, there's a lot more action than you might think: most matches are three-on-three, which guarantees a constant, breathtaking pace of mayhem. Action does not stop, even when the round is over - in fact, the beginning and the end of a round seem to be superfluous concepts, only there for some obscure purpose of scorekeeping.

It was fun. Certainly a fresh, refreshing, and new acquaintance. :-)
