07/30/2004 05:13 AMLos Angeles Times - NEW YORK — From the kitchen window, the
bright lights of Broadway are twinkling, and on a clear night they
seem tantalizingly close. But not close enough for the pair who live
in Apt. 5S, a tiny walkup on the edge of the city's theater district.

in the Iraqi desert.

The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia
The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia
03/21/2003 12:14 AM The Los Angeles Times goes
multimedia. For the past few weeks, the LA Times has begun a
significant push into offering video, audio, and interactive Flash on
their website. One of the most interesting aspects is that the paper
has moved one step beyond simply replaying AP Television clips as many
sites have done; the LA Times writers are stand before the cameras and
microphones themselves and report stories in a stuttering,
non-hairsprayed, introverted demeanor that I find very refreshing,
though so far I have gleaned very little additional information from
it. When does (or can) this mode of journalism on the web rise above
gimmickry or 'just because we can' and add value to a written article?
Can video/tv news rise above mere spectacle?

Wireless. Sure. What a dream. I make most of my living writing
about wireless technology, primarily Wi-Fi. So why is my traveling bag
full of wires? Is it because Bluetooth turned out to be weaker and
more confusing than planned? Is it because I have too much equipment
that doesn't use standards? These are the questions I ask when I look
at my regular traveling kit, and I have no good answers, just more
wires.

Glenn Fleishman sez: "I wrote my own take on a Wired News story about
the RIAA's lobbying of the FCC to get broadcast flags embedded in
digital radio content. Digital radio is now offered by about 150 AM/FM
stations in the U.S. even though only about 10,000 to 35,000
(estimated) high-definition or HD radios that can receive the digital
content were sold in 2004. Terrestrial digital AM/FM will grow to at
least 2,000 stations by 2007, and millions of receivers by 2008,
according to analysts. With HD, AM stations sound like FM (and don't
disappear in underpasses) and FM stations sound like CD quality.
Reportedly! I haven't heard it yet."

Into the Desert
07/12/2004 09:03 PM
I finally received Combat
Mission: Afrika Korps (CMAK) and the companion book The Battery
Commander, His
Batman, and A Cook. Woohoo! While the game was
installing, I checked out
the book. Excellent!
The battle where the book's title came from was that of Combeforce,
a hastily formed
group of 2,000 British anti-tank and artillery crews along with
riflemen to protec
them, trying to block retreating Italian 10th Army.
That's right.
2,000 men facing an army without even a single tank. But then
armies usually
retreat in a line so they had to face only the forward elements and
most of the armies
were on road-bound vehicles (stretching for miles and miles).
As the story went,
the last Italian tank was knocked out by a gun manned by the
commander of 106th Battery,
his batman, and a cook.
And that was just one chapter in the book. While I enjoy
reading calm accounts
of battles like Rommel's classic Infantry Attack, stories like this
really evoke the
smell of the battle through quiet understatements and dry
humor. Only bad part
about the book was that only 12 of the battles in the book had CMAK
scenarios.
Darn. I am going to browse through SMAK scenarios
repositories to see if the
missing scenarios have been created by other CMAK
enthusiasts. I doubt it though
because you need more than just stories to create battle
scenarios. At the minimum,
you need order of battle (OOB) which lists the number and types of
units involved
in a battle.
Firing up CMAK briefly, I remembered why I stopped playing CMBO
(Combat Mission Beyond
Overlord), the first volume of the series. It was the damn
artillery spotters
and 88. A well-positioned gun can stop significantly larger
forces dead on its
track and sometimes the only way to knock them out is with
artillery or aerial bombardments.
But whenever I moved a spotter into position where he can see the
gun, he gets fired
on by the gun. How can they someone far away hiding behind a
bush? Binocular
reflection? Rubbish. Add to that the devastating power
of 88 made me so
fruistrated with a Bocage campaign that I stopped playing for a
month and then forgot
about the game.
With CMAK, unrealistic spotting ability of gunners will make some
sense since there
won't be many bushes to hide behind in. One can hide behind
sand dunes or bury
one self in like commandos do but it's just not the same as hiding
in treelines or
bushes. Anyway, I am looking forward to my desert battles for
many evenings
to come.

« Yölyhdyt [Night Lanterns] by Liisa Kyrönseppä in the Forces of
Light installation in Plague Park. »
Today at lunchtime I looked outside and gaped since it appeared like
it was almost night before noon. I thought we had escaped November
but, perhaps not. I noticed a light therapy lamp in the coffee lounge
and had to resist the desire to go press my eyeballs directly onto the
bulb. My backpack still contains my sunglasses as if I'll need them
for another 5 months or so. Always prepared for solar radiation, every
fleeting moment of it. :)
Since we had to cancel our Feb/March travel plans due to the puppy
coming later than expected Jarkko, in a fit of desperation after
finding all the tours booked between now and when the puppy arrives in
January, found a trip at one of the last minute cancelation agencies
in a warm, arid place during the holidays. It's funny how back in my
20s I travelled all over on a whim and didn't think anything of it and
these days I am less enthusiastic about seeing the world. It bothers
me that I have become so jaded in my advancing age. It is that age old
equation of Money | Time | Energy/Enthusiasm - pick any two. I retain
the curiosity but it is tempered by my cynicism. I had to check to see
if I'd need a visa to enter the country and if anyone ever read the US State
Department's consular information sheets on various countries,
noone would ever leave US airspace. They do make for amusing reading
for those of us who live outside the US. Treat yourself to reading the
language of fear, e.g. Finland;
SAFETY AND SECURITY : Finland remains largely free of terrorist
incidents....
Largely free? What is that supposed to mean? No bombs but the
lihakukko is a very dangerous weapon in the Karelian terrorist regime?
Watch out for the drunks and their puukkos at the tram stops? There is
also a section about how few cops there are in relation to the overall
population. I suppose that living in a police state would make you
uncomfortable visiting a place that doesn't have guys in fatigues and
AK-47's hanging out in airports and on street corners. We're going to
a place where we are warned that there is a lot of 'soccer-inspired
violence' and evangelical christians are given a quick ride to the
airport. :)
