Hello HARRY to the MAX: Happy Birthday Max!!!
http://robandcrystal.blogspot.com/2012/05/happy-birthday-max.html
Hello HARRY to the MAX. Here he is.one day late, but already plotting his next move. I am hours old, but I am awake, and I will never sleep again. This world is so interesting! Brothers meeting for the first time. Strong-willed, assertive, bossy, bull-headed, willful. Max is all of these, and then some. The child does not give up. Ever. How is he 3? And a day later "I want to have that milkshake! He woke up this morning saying "I didn't finish my ice cream! I told him he looked like Daddy in this outfit,...

Hello HARRY to the MAX: December 2011
http://robandcrystal.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Hello HARRY to the MAX. After our earlier freakout over not specifying to Santa WHICH Transformer Harry wanted for Christmas, it turns out, Santa figured it out! Oh, man, Christmas morning was the best thing ever. We all had been horribly sick the entire week before Christmas - so sick we had to cancel our family cookie-making party, which devastated Harry and yours truly. But on Christmas morning, Harry was like Ralphie with that Red Ryder BB gun and it made it all worth it! Monday, December 26, 2011.

Building a graph-based model of metadata « Alec’s thoughts

Laquo; A graph based model for chunking. Andy Rooney on Iraq. Building a graph-based model of metadata. I have had some success building an in-memory graph of my iTunes database, in Python. I discovered some rather interesting things about my collection in the process and I’ve started thinking about a way to use this information to cleanly chunk the data. When I combine all the different pieces of metadata in my collection I get a whopping 1589 different facets, represented by nodes in my graph. But ...

Archive for category advocacy. Why NOT to eat organic. On October 5, 2005. A while back I was exercising my writing, trying to find an voice for this blog, and wrote Why to shop organic. A friend of mine recently gave me a hard time about it and through a funny confluence of events, I found two reasons. Reason number one: Probably the reason Heather used to call organic strawberries “armpit fruit”:. Yes, that is a dead worm in my artichoke. Yes, I had to eat this far to discover it.

2700 San Pablo filing for bankruptcy? « Alec’s thoughts
http://www.flett.org/2008/12/11/2700-san-pablo-filing-for-bankruptcy
Laquo; Tramp mode rocks. SF Food Carts, twitter, and street food. 2700 San Pablo filing for bankruptcy? Check out this article in the Berkeley Daily Planet: San Pablo Condo Project Defaults, Forced Sale Scheduled. I live very close to this building, and the building is, sort of, a big improvement from the abandoned gas station that was on this lot previously. But ever since it’s been finished, all of the storefronts and street-level live/work spaces have been unoccupied. I am actually a bit in favor of s...

Tramp mode rocks « Alec’s thoughts

Laquo; Welcome back. 2700 San Pablo filing for bankruptcy? Ok, it’s been a while since my last post, but I’m going to try starting up again. I just want to rave about “tramp mode” in emacs. If you haven’t yet seen this, it allows you to load up files from a machine that you have ssh access to. Accessing it is super-easy. Rather than C-x C-f to load a local file path, just enter the file path as ssh:/ userid@host:/path/. After that everything you save will be saved over ssh/scp. Brilliant.

Laquo; Building a graph-based model of metadata. Why NOT to eat organic. Andy Rooney on Iraq. I never thought I’d be sending around something that took Andy Rooney seriously, but this morning I ran into a post on BoingBoing. That blew me away. Last night Andy Rooney’s segment. On 60 minutes ( BitTorrent link. Blasted the Iraq effort in a way that I think much of Middle America can understand: basic facts. (Also see the transcript. You can follow any responses to this entry through RSS 2.0. I really do wo...

Laquo; An exploration: Chunking using Factor Analysis. Building a graph-based model of metadata. A graph based model for chunking. Factor Analysis seems very promising, but I was thinking a lot about a presentation. Given by Mimi Yin at OSAF. In particular the Venn diagrams which showed items as existing in a number of collections based on the attributes of the item. These collections may or may not really exist in real life, but their virtual existence is important. It may be obvious by now that this is...
