Off for some sun and sand







Off for some sun and sand

Off for some sun and sand 04/09/2004 04:06 PM

I'm off to Anguilla -- an island in the British West Indies -- today for some very much needed, albeit brief, vacation. Plans include swimming, sunning, sleeping, snorkeling, and reading. Oh and eating. And that's about it. Items of note in the suitcase include: tank tops; summery skirts; one itsy bitsy teeny weeny green polka dot bikini; a fresh book, Forever (no, not Judy Blume's, Mark Hamill's, just because I'm leaving NYC doesn't mean I shouldn't still be thinking about it!); digital camera; and most importantly, SPF 30.

If reading this makes you jealous, I've just the thing for you: American Airlines sale! Caribbean For As Low As $198 Round Trip. So maybe you too can be doning a tiny green bikini soon as well! Updates will resume next week when I return.

Sand Art


Sand Art 11/17/2003 04:19 AM

It's easy to get jaded and think "there are no original ideas." But, take a look at this spectacular video of a guy who uses nothing more than an old overhead projector, some sand, and some simplistic music to create art. Sorry, I could only find a Windows Media version of this. If anyone knows of other formats, please let me know.

Back in November, Nolan and I tried to go to the Los Angeles Auto Show. Of course, when we got to the Convention Center, we found out that the Los Angeles Auto show was, in fact, in Orange County that weekend. All was not lost, however, because we went on to have an incredibly wonderful day together anyway.

A mandala is a symbol of the universe. It is a diagram whose colo rs, lines, and forms all have meaning. In the Buddhist religion, mandalas are used in sacred ceremonies and meditation, to help people on their journey toward spiritual enlightenment. Mandalas have been made since ancient times. They can be painted on clo th or carve d or c reated from sand.
If you don't like those, you can just make pretty sand pictures on your monitor.

More Than Wells Are Stuck In The Sand
Over Iraqi Oil


More Than Wells Are Stuck In The Sand
Over Iraqi Oil
11/10/2003 11:31 PM
Iraq has a lot of oil, estimated at 112.5 billion barrels in proven reserves which is the world's second-largest after Saudi Arabia's. As many as 220 billion barrels are considered probable additional Iraqi reserves. Before the current war, Iraq was producing 2.5 million barrels of oil per day, with only 1.7 million of this output authorized under the U.N. imposed "Oil-For-Food" economic sanctions. At an average price of $25 per barrel, Iraq was making $43 million per day in sanctioned sales and $20 million per day in unsanctioned ones. The United States was the biggest importer of Iraqi crude, importing 366,000 barrels a day directly into the U.S. during December 2002, with an estimated third of Iraqi oil output (800,000+ barrels per day) ultimately ending up in the United States after intermediate processing by third countries. Thus on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Americans were paying Saddam around $21 million per day or $620 million per month or around $7.5 billion per year. The rest of the world was paying him twice this much for a total of around $25 billion per year. Such "tough" economic sanctions led in some American political circles to (somewhat hypocritically, considering the level of our Iraqi imports) have contempt for the United Nations and concern over the amount of petromoney available for hostile military buildup and WMD and even terrorist bankrolling... And so there was a war.

The future of storage technology represents a confluence of conflicting adjectives: larger, smaller; expanding, contracting. "Larger" typically describes capacity; "smaller" refers to physical space used. In an unending quest to fit more data into less space, the industry is changing its focus from stand-alone products to networked solutions.
