Verdugo City: May 2010

Monday, May 24, 2010. Looking Through the Telescope at Griffith Observatory. Griffith Park Observatory was never a scientific observatory - it was built for public education. The unlikely-named Griffith Griffiths gave the land to the city, which I suspect coveted it mostly as valuable watershed. But from the beginning the park was dedicated to public recreation and education, with the Observatory as the most prominent landmark - not counting the "Hollywood" sign, nearby but not quite in the park. The air...

Verdugo City: October 2010

Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Piece of my Heart. On Thursday afternoon I am scheduled to have a procedure performed on my heart to correct a condition called atrial flutter. Some of my friends have been curious and some concerned so I thought I'd try to explain it as well as I can. The good news is that the procedure is very low risk, and highly likely to permanently repair the atrial flutter. The Wikipedia description of atrial flutter. It's customary to say that someone is lucky when they have a health ...

Verdugo City: March 2009

Saturday, March 28, 2009. Why Advertising is Failing on the Internet". I found this article very interesting - http:/ www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/22/why-advertising-is-failing-on-the-internet/. My basic premise is that the internet is not replacing advertising but shattering it, and all the king’s horses, all the king’s men, and all the creative talent of Madison Avenue cannot put it together again.

Verdugo City: February 2010
http://verdugocity.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. When I heard that "The Who" would play halftime at the Super Bowl, I cringed. Jeez, I thought, do people really want to see two old guys from a once great band that had its last hit 30 years ago? Why would they be invited? Why would they do it, except for the money? Do they really need it? But when my 16 year old son told me about the VH-1 Rock Honors the Who concert at UCLA Pauley Pavilion in June 2008 and asked if I wanted to go, what could I say? My son wants to see the Who?

Verdugo City: Mr. Farnham

Thursday, January 27, 2011. This is the message I left at the memorial site when I learned my High School Biology teacher, Mr. Richards Farnham, had passed away. My mother, my uncle, my aunt, my brother, my sister, and I were all students of Mr. Farnham. And all of us carry a little piece of him into the future. Thank you Mr. Farnham.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Strawberries are one of the most labor intensive crops around. Unlike many fruits, they ripen unevenly, so you have to look at each berry to see if its ready to pick. The teams of laborers work from one end of a field to the other over the course of a few days, then they go back to the beginning and start over. Posted by A. Michael Berman. Links to this post.

Thursday, December 20, 2012. Draft - Technology Forecast 2013. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions! Below is the article as submitted. The ways in which we socialize, work, learn, and relax have all changed in just five years. Take a look around at your next social gathering and count the times that someone pulls out a smartphone. Or, perhaps more frightening, observe how many freeway drivers’ faces are illuminated by the glow of a phone or tablet. (I recommend you do this from the p...Perhaps the mos...
