@Jon - An old analog crock pot with a new PID
temperature controller. Cooked the steak at 133 degrees for two hours then
torched it for color. This is the second time and the best steaks we've
had in years. Certainly better than Craftsteak in Vegas.

A bit disappointed with Macks. The ribs were

Juicy meat, but watery juicy. Sauce just poured on after the fact. Corn
bread dense and chewy. Mac n Cheese grainy. Still, I ate it.

bread and mac and cheese at Lilly Maes over on Coleman...there BBQ is not

Similar to the folks that put up their own bag then
close the door to try to pretend it's full.

I really hit a nerve with this. In the end the young

fireworks on landing but nothing happened.
October 28, 2011 at

Did the young guy say "oh no" as in "oh no?" as in
"oh no? you think I'm not gonna squeeze it?" ?

or like 'oh no you
don't (you old geezer!)'
October 28, 2011 at

It's become almost standard for the flight attendants
to say something like "please put your bag in on its side / wheels out /
etc. and please put bags in first and then lay coats and other soft items
on top of them".
October 28, 2011 at
3:32 pm
I would've just said "oops sorry" and crammed my bag
in.

@Doug - Hah. That's pretty much how it went.
October 28, 2011 at
9:16 pm
A friend of mine was boarding a flight somewhere in
The South (or maybe Texas - whatever) and people had put their bags into
the bin sloppily so he rearranged the bags (putting the bags on their
sides and generally making them fit in the space more efficiently) to make
room for his own bag. When he was almost finished he heard the young woman
behind him say (in her best Southern Belle accent) "And here I had thought
that gentlemanly behavior was a thing of the past.". She appeared to be
fit and had no apparent disabilities, and she seemed to be pushing her
carry-on wheelie bag in his direction. He laughed at her and proceeded, as
planned, to put his bag in the space he had created for himself :-)

11:59 am Netflix, wow, what
a punishing market ride. Why split their two businesses? I wonder if this
is a possible explanation... A DVD rental company can buy DVDs and rent
them to anyone under the first-sale doctrine. A streaming business needs
to get licenses from the content owners to stream their content. The "old"
Netflix is both, and that became a problem.
In January 2010 it was reported that Netflix agreed to delay shipping newly released DVDs for a time - in exchange a certain content owner would license the Netflix streaming business. Netflix DVD customers complained that the newest DVD releases were not available from Netflix DVD for 30 days. The DVD-only competition does not have this 30 day restriction.
With the split of business lines Qwikster can ship newly released DVDs without any waiting period; it can run unfettered by negotiations over streaming licenses. New DVD releases might be available on Qwikster the day after they are released to retail sales. In other words, Qwikster customers might get a *better* experience than the old Netflix DVD service.
The Netflix streaming service is now able to negotiate licenses with the content owners without the complication of a DVD business. How will the new streaming-only Netflix compete against other streaming-only companies? Perhaps Netflix management feels they can beat the competition with a superior user experience. Maybe not superior communication, but delivery of video is what we really all pay for.
Just looking for some rational explanation.

it likely that they have some nefarious complicated secret scheme or could
they just be stupid?
September 22, 2011 at

In today's LA Times: "...some studios that make
Netflix.. wait until 28 days after a DVD goes on sale before they can
offer it for rent want to lengthen that delay. They believe such a move
will encourage consumers to pay more to buy or rent a movie digitally."
Interesting. Once Netflix is split into two companies these studios won't
have any leverage over the Qwikster DVD business.

If Rick Perry and
his advisers don't believe in evolution, then we should not believe
anything about his economic program. Clearly his thought process is not
fact based. We need economic programs that are effective; not ones that
someone spins up based on weird theories of how the economy works.

Most macro economics is not fact based anyway. They
like to do some pseudo math that doesn't actually add up. This is why most
universities group econ with the arts and not with math. But, Perry does
seem like yet another whacko politician. I have a friend though who
believes that many politicians just act stupid in order to get elected.
Interesting hypothesis don't you think?
September 10, 2011 at
3:05 pm
@D : Huntsman seems the best of a bad lot (and Romney
might be passable too) but I'm still not happy when people say they
"believe in" evolution. Evolution is not a belief system. It is a natural
process that is continually happening regardless of what Perry or Huntsman
believe.
@John: That is an interesting hypothesis, though I'm not sure how you would test it. It's a sad commentary on American culture that this is even plausible. However, I'm still pretty sure Sarah Palin really is that dumb.

are nearly unstoppable and, when hungry, also breathe fire. 71% of people
won't copy this into their status because they have already been eaten by
Penguins. Another 28% won't because they are hiding in their showers with
fire extinguishers awaiting the coming Penguinapocalypse. The remaining 1%

@Chuck, My biggest concern was over the automatic
Picasa integration. I have ALL my photos in Picasa now, and mostly marked
private. I use Picasa auto tag all the time. If someone is tagged in one
photo, then they can see the whole album. Some of my albums are date
based. For example, if "June 2002". If a person is tagged in a picnic
photo from early June 2002, then they can also peruse all the photos of my
grandfather's funeral - not what I intended. With FB I am certain which
photos will be seen by others; with G+ I couldn't be sure.
August 3, 2011 at 5:50

I am not a Picasa user but it is a good warning sign
that there may be other surprises somewhere under the hood. There is
always a balance between ease of use & features and privacy. Sounds
like Google got the mix wrong on this one.

the party is that their spines grow back and they no longer care about
'taking the high road'. I want them to get down and dirty if that is what
it takes to get their way. Politics is just a bar fight right now -- I
don't like it, but that IS the way it is. To ignore that fact is to get a

the "Taj Mahal of Tile" due to its extensive use of decorative ceramic
tiles created by the Malibu Potteries. The house was built in 1930 for
Rhoda Rindge Adamson and Merritt Huntley Adamson, based on a Mediterranean
Revival design by Stiles O. Clements of the architectural firm of Morgan,
Walls & Clements. The residence and estate is within the Malibu Lagoon
State Beach Park. The Adamson House was added to the National Register of
Historic Places in 1977 and designated as a California Historical Landmark

good idea. Continuing local coverage after they scale it back to "three

Got off track

Narrow one lane. No markers. Dark. Steep drop offs. Middle of nowhere.
Cloud-like fog; visibility ten feet. Damn I was glad when we got out of
there.

A couple of times, our GPS has directed us out into
the bay (off Redwood Shores). It's a good thing we were paying attention
and chose not to drive into the water.

Skype rang while I
was at the tire store. Was my far distant uncle that I haven't spoken with
in years. He looked startled when I said hello. He didn't know he had
video called me! His first skype experience. He was amazed as I walked him
down the street. His wife ducked into camera range and said, "boy that's
something. They said we'd be able to do this in the future." The future is
here.
