about me
I'm a geek, more or less. I mostly read technical journals, get easily sidetracked by civil rights issues, work too much. My personal outlets are exercise, mostly running in the Oakland Hills. The acquaintances I see most often all work for UAL.

Google drove past our little village in Italy and caught themselves in the turning mirror just about perfectly. The coverage they have is getting pretty impressive.

My space heater stopped working. The switch’s light would turn on, but no fan, no heat. Although there were “no user serviceable parts inside,” I thought I’d take it apart. After poking around with a multi-meter, I found that there was 120 being distributed around, but the ground wasn’t getting past the bimetal thermostat. Nothing [...]

I will never understand why companies choose to spend good money developing software and systems around Windows. How can they be so stupid as to pay for absurd and byzantine licensing of inferior, insecure, opaque operating systems on which to build their products the regular failure of which only serves to damage the reliability of [...]

Once, years ago, a girlfriend was visiting me at the semiconductor test equipment mfg company I was consulting to while I was stuck late finishing some experiments. She grew restless and hungry, not being geek enough to find the test gear in and of itself interesting.

I've been bringing up a surplus Netfinity 5500 M20 I got on ebay really cheap. The guy probably lost $100 on shipping, the machine is huge. It's entirely impractical for a home server, but who can resist that many blinky lights.

Some time ago John Allen Paulos wrote a review (abcnews.go.com/Technology/story of an entertaining article examining the economics of prostitution (www.iies.su.se/seminars/p...dlund.pdf). The article sparked outrage amongst certain self-appointed social commentators, an outrage only supported by misreading Paulos' ABC article and not taking the time to read the original article. I thought that was a little unfair, and wrote the following:
