Purpose one: writing a travelogue to describe my various trips. Monday, October 28, 2013. Even a Street-dog Has Lucky Days. Storms around Boulder Creek always blows down lots of branches and small trees. Last night was no exception. Some branches had hit around my driveway, about a foot from my car.

Traveling Atomist: Hurry Up and Enjoy Life
http://travelingatomist.blogspot.com/2012/06/hurry-up-and-enjoy-life.html
Purpose one: writing a travelogue to describe my various trips. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Hurry Up and Enjoy Life. I was driving in San Francisco the other day and came up on a lady who was driving badly: a good 10 MPH below the prevailing speed and with her signal persistently flashing. I could tell by the hesitant maneuvers of those around her that I was not the only one who found it troubling. She then made a terrible lane change (see option #2). Bad driving does so with poor logic. Personally, I make no...

A Slight Case of Hacking. As some of you may know, we have been doing a lot of work on Studybuddy. Unfortunately, some hacker used SQL Insertion. To compromise the database. It is a bit embarrassing that the code did not anticipate such a dull attack, but as it was still in pilot and not all that visible, we had down-prioritized security in favor of getting content and functionality in place. There is good information available on this attack. See this blog post. The ASPROX Information Toolkit. Client IP...

Traveling Atomist: Keynesian Stimulus and Japan's Lost Decade
http://travelingatomist.blogspot.com/2012/08/keynesian-stimulus-and-japans-lost.html
Purpose one: writing a travelogue to describe my various trips. Sunday, August 12, 2012. Keynesian Stimulus and Japan's Lost Decade. Two historical examples of fiscal policies that Keynesians like to point out are the US in the 30s and Japan in the 90s. I have already looked at the 30s. And the numbers did not suggest a Keynesian conclusion to me. I am speaking here of the Keynesian theory of stimulus spending. Taxes are included in the chart, though it stays within 1 percent of change over the previous ...

Reviews two books on American literary novels. In the article, there is such a fantastic quote that I had to share it:. Buell is a person, one should say, who uses terms like cracker. History,...

Purpose one: writing a travelogue to describe my various trips. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Buy a Bicycle for an African. I have become reasonably convinced that Government Aid to Africa. More than it is helping. Some of the larger private aid charities are so big that they have some of the same problems. I used to adopt children through Plan USA. But that organization grew to a point where I felt it was as much about the marketing and promotion of themselves and the executives. So I stopped. Are univers...

Traveling Atomist: Suspension of Disbelief
http://travelingatomist.blogspot.com/2014/08/suspension-of-disbelief.html
Purpose one: writing a travelogue to describe my various trips. Sunday, August 31, 2014. In Toy Story 3. There is a scene in which Mr. Potato Head mounts a tortilla, as part of escaping from the day care center. I remember the first time I saw this, there was a brief moment where I thought, "a tortilla? I quickly went along with it, though. If I'm already accepting animated toys, why not an animated tortilla? I watched Olympus Has Fallen. Why was a brute-force attack successful in such a short time?
