Em Lisboa: micromultitasking
http://janak-lyon.blogspot.com/2012/07/micromultitasking.html
Monday, July 30, 2012. The video player on my phone will now play on an overlay if I switch to another task. Thus, I can have multiple windows on a screen the size of my palm. It would be nice if I could say that this clearly ridiculous feature isn't something I had wished for, but I'm apparently just that ridiculous. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Em Lisboa: Mixed nuts
http://janak-lyon.blogspot.com/2012/06/mixed-nuts.html
Saturday, June 30, 2012. In a nutshell, we think that the Europeans have cracked open more doors than we thought, but they still have a lot on their plate,” said Gilles Moëc, an economist at Deutsche Bank. Why do Europeans have doors on their plates (in nutshells)? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mostly defunct politics blog. Lyon, Rhône, France. View my complete profile.

Em Lisboa: calling me
http://janak-lyon.blogspot.com/2011/01/calling-me.html
Thursday, January 20, 2011. 646-397-9496 should reach my mobile in Portugal (price of a call to a NY number for you). Unfortunately, there remains a different number for texts - 415-680-3612, which I've had for a while. Both of those should work all the time. I'm normally 5 hours ahead of East Coast time, so midnight for you in NY is 5 am for me. And yes, I acknowledge the inappropriateness of this blog's url. Et tu, Google Voice?

Em Lisboa: August 2012
http://janak-lyon.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 10, 2012. The Times has a "medal chart" for the Olympics, giving a partial order on the countries based on the number (and type) of the medals they've won. The sidebar says "The rules used to generate the diagram were laid out by Simon Tatham. But the chart cannot simultaneously assume that gold is better than silver and also account for the possibility that all medals count equally. You need "at least as good as," not "better than" there.

Em Lisboa: May 2012
http://janak-lyon.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Looking at the Greek election results. It's tantalizingly close to a majority for the austerity parties - the center-right and center-left have 108 and 41 seats respectively, for a total of 149 with 151 needed for a majority. It seems like the EU's money would be best spent just bribing 2 MP's to support the austerity regime. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mostly defunct politics blog. Lyon, Rhône, France.

Em Lisboa: March 2010
http://janak-lyon.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 8, 2010. The Onion's "Weekender" magazine. S headline is "I'm Kinda Getting The Hang Of Filling Tori Spelling Up With Babies: We Chat With Dean McDermott." The image mouseover text (and page title) read instead "Babys" and "Dylan McDermott." If you're the kind of person who can't copy the word "babies" correctly, shouldn't you at least be the kind of person who knows which McDermott Tori Spelling is married to? Seems unfortunate to fail on both counts. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Says that the...

Friday, July 30, 2010. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. I went to "Nuit Brooklyn" last night - 4 bands from Brooklyn who came specially to Lyon to perform for me, since I won't be back until the end of August. Thanks to Artem for bringing me. They were all pretty good - we missed some of St. Vincent. Were great, The National. Was too, and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. From Sharon Jones, during a strange, somewhat racially charged discourse on how dancing was in her blood, speaking as a Native American: The whit...
