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 or going to the MIT gym with Carolyn. The acquaintances I see most often all work for UAL.

We saw Jennifer’s Body at TIFF09.  It is a fun fright fest, I mean how can you go wrong with a super hot high school girl turned human-flesh eating demon who seduces boys and then rips them to shreds.  Plus, as a bonus, there is the hottest lesbian kiss in mainstream media between Megan Fox [...]

I saw The White Ribbon at the Telluride Film Festival.  It’s a well crafted film about some very problematic children in Germany just before the first world war. The movie is intended to in some way illuminate a fertile ground that permits fascism to later grow.  While I found the characters interesting and the cinematography particularly [...]

I saw Red Riding at the Telluride Film Festival. It is a three part story of a corrupt police force in Yorkshire over three different eras, each marked by murders. As the series goes on, the weight of the unsolved crimes accumulates until it reaches a breaking point in the third, 1983. Each [...]

Tonight probably wasn’t the best night to try to configure logicmail to send via gmail.  I went through every permutation then found out that gmail is flaking out tonight.  Go Cloud Computing.  Brilliant idea to trust your business to the cloud. Anyway, I did get LogicMail to work.  It isn’t the fastest way to get [...]

Megeve Ski Resort
( local favorites » parks & recreation ) "A very large resort with excellent services and great terrain" Megeve was developed by the Rothschild's after they grew disenchanted with St. Moritz. It is a bit fancy as a ski resort with the in-town shops catering more to the high end. Prices are a little out of control during the French holiday season in... read more

Simpson's Restaurant
( local favorites » restaurants ) "Simpson's Excellent BBQ and Soul Food" Simpson's restaurant in East Oakland is a little gem. The food is great (especially the ribs) and very plentiful. We usually get ribs and chicken, both excellent. Of the sides, our favorite is the yams and cornbread muffins.

The portions ar... read more

What the BLEEP Do We Know?
( miscellaneous » movie reviews ) "The whole concept is based on a misunderstanding" The premise of the movie is that consciousness and therefore humanity holds some privileged place within quantum mechanics, a concept known as the observer paradox. This is predicated on a misunderstanding of the Copenhagen theory of quantum mech... read more
