Tau Central: November 2007

Sunday, November 18, 2007. Global Warming - In Pursuit of Ignorance. Here are two different situations. How are they linked? I think that part of the answer is that most elected officials in Colorado disagree about everything except that the government is evil. They do not want to be regulated or taxed and they would just rather the state government wither away and leave them alone. Sounds like Marx to me, but who knows. What do these situations have in common? Labels: global climate change. Lianas Relay...

Tau Central: June 2007

Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Perhaps My Own Summer of Code? Realizing I have said practically nothing personal on this blog, let me preface by saying I recently quit the Developer Tools group at Apple, worked a short contract at Mozilla Co, but am now taking some time off and finishing school. I am getting a BA in math at San Jose State University. I was taking summer classes. I thought I could get some non-math requirements out of the way. What a joke! Posted by Tau Central @ 5:53 PM.

Tau Central: March 2007

Friday, March 30, 2007. Too Much, Too Personal. I am not doing very well keeping my personal blog. I have two other blogs, one on WebObjects issues and one on Mozilla issues. Most of the "personal" things lately have revolved around these, as my work situation has changed. Well, sometimes the personal is political and sometimes the personal is financial. :-). Posted by Tau Central @ 11:21 AM. Sunnyvale, California, United States. View my complete profile. From Rebecca Walker, hypercapitalism in the world.

Tau Central: February 2008

Monday, February 25, 2008. What did you give up for Lent? I was walking across campus at SJSU a couple of weeks ago and I heard a snippet of a conversation. It seems funny, but I am not sure. A woman was walking by and I heard her say:. No, I had to call you. I gave up texting for Lent.". Where does one go with this? It seems so odd, that it is hard to identify the kind of oddness it represents. O well. Now the Internet can deal with it. Posted by Tau Central @ 6:40 PM. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Defini...

Tau Central: May 2007

Monday, May 21, 2007. Once in a while, a tiny bit of justice. Or perhaps not. So, Paul Wolfowitz has resigned as president of the World Bank. It is about time. Let us admit it. The fact that he got that job was a slap in the face to the American people. Here is a man who said the Iraq war would pay for itself. We all know how amazingly incorrect that assessment was. So, he was either deliberately lying to the American public, or he is really, really incompetent about financial matters. Probably not. ...

Tau Central: September 2006

Sunday, September 10, 2006. Back from . a lot happening. I have not posted in a while, but then again I was slightly busy getting married. If you ever want to make an entire summer go by in a faster-than-light-speed blur, this is a very good way to do it. Pics will be posted somewhere semi-permanent but for now can be reached at http:/ riskinphoto.com/clients/sr/. Certainly does put things into perspective, though. Feel guilty about wasting a couple of hundred dollars on over-priced computer games?

Friday, April 13, 2007. Flying to NY, What Does the DHS Say? With thanks to http:/ www.geekandproud.net/terror/. I feel much better now. Posted by Tau Central @ 8:28 AM. Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Yes, it is stupid. On the one hand, being frustrated with iTunes is an exercise in futility. If people complain, will the iTunes developers listen? No On the other hand, being frustrated with iTunes is an exercise in futility. What else are you going to use? Do not even get me started. Hm Well, sorry about this&#...

Sunday, July 29, 2007. 13 Ways Are Too Many. Every once in a while, I re-read the poem '13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird'. A teacher pointed me to it, a long time ago, when I was asking how to properly express abstractions in poetry. I still do not understand. Every time I read it, a different stanza draws me in. Today I think it is number 7. O thin men of Haddam,. Why do you imagine golden birds? Do you not see how the blackbird. Walks around the feet. Of the women about you? View my complete profile.

Wednesday, April 19, 2006. China and Intellectual Property: What is the Real Problem? Shocked, I tell you! It bothers them that China does not respect international standards for intellectual property protection. It bothers me that China does not respect international standards ensuring worker rights and workplace standards. Yet they complain about the other side of the coin and think it is dreadfully unfair they are not getting paid for their brand names and patents. What is wrong with this picture?

Tuesday, November 07, 2006. A very random story I once heard. I do not remember where I heard or read this story. It sticks in my mind, though. It may be. From the Talmud, but I would take that with a grain of salt. There was once an extremely wise and beloved rabbi. People came to his village from miles. Around to seek his counsel. It happened that he became very sick and was near death. People. Heard this and many people came to his house to wish him well, to express their love and to. Everybody stoppe...
