A cry of outrage over things that don't necessarily concern me, definitely concern us all, and may be of no concern to anyone soon enough. Thursday, October 19, 2006. Thanks for Letting Me Vent. In September of 2001 a terrorist attack that closely serviced. By a think-tank called Project for the New American Century, led to the deaths of somewhere between 2000 and 3000, or 1/15th to 1/20th of the number of US traffic fatalities. Today I read a sad and sobering statistic in the Economist.

A cry of outrage over things that don't necessarily concern me, definitely concern us all, and may be of no concern to anyone soon enough. Friday, December 23, 2005. My Britannica and other Fallen Heroes. Seigenthaler's recent vitriolic tirade against Wikipedia. To add insult to injury, this summer, scientists at Caltech announced the discovery of a tenth planet. This seemed like a big deal to me, until the dicussion got around to asking the obvious question - what is a planet anyway? I read it with inte...

Marching to the beat of a fractal drummer. Thursday, April 14, 2011. Un día lleno de aventuras en la frontera - tenía que salir de Nicaragua porque la visa de la camioneta vencía hoy. Muchos extranjeros que viven aquí se dan esa vuelta cada 90 días por la visa personal, o cada 30 por la visa del automóvil. A los aduaneros les carga la movida; la llaman la vuelta del perro. Casi perdí la camioneta debido a este problema con el sistema Tico, que al parecer borró mi ultima salida de Costa Rica a Nicaragua -...

A cry of outrage over things that don't necessarily concern me, definitely concern us all, and may be of no concern to anyone soon enough. Monday, December 18, 2006. On December 10th Agusto Pinochet died. He was the dictator of Chile from 1973 to 1989. And Monday morning my inbox was peppered wth notes from friends who wrote things like "I bet you're happy that he's gone", etc. Sometimes, tragedy strikes in the strangest ways. But the story does not end there. I remember being horrified some eight ye...

A cry of outrage over things that don't necessarily concern me, definitely concern us all, and may be of no concern to anyone soon enough. Thursday, November 02, 2006. Sesame oil has a high flash-point and the hotter you get the wok before tossing stuff into it, the better everything will turn out. In a pinch, olive oil works, but sesame is better for this. Short searings are the general idea. About the cooking: There is one absolutely essential thing about this dish, and most Chinese dishes - start the ...

DogKitten: November 2010
http://dogkitten.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Marching to the beat of a fractal drummer. Monday, November 22, 2010. Way Out of Line". Apparently, last week Jon Stewart complained on air that calling George Bush a War Criminal was technically correct but politically incorrect. He called it "way out of line", charging that it's "a conversation-stopper, not a conversation-starter". Against Bush Sr. and his cabinet in 1991. It is a good summary of what that administration gave the world. The story of Americans torturing and murdering civilians all over ...

DogKitten: The Acorn Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree
http://dogkitten.blogspot.com/2011/01/moveable-type-chasers.html
Marching to the beat of a fractal drummer. Sunday, January 16, 2011. The Acorn Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree. Until the 15th century, the concept of authors' rights was basically non-existent. If you came up with a great oral poem, and it was repeated, your stock could only go up. Books were a painstaking labor. And each one owed much of its value to the very act of its construction. In the 1490's Guttenberg. S campaign against the rising popularity of cassette tapes: "Home-Taping is Killing Music".
