    Outline: AIDS, politics of accusation, and racially bound female bodies in the Korean American public discourse

    Medical Anthropology
    March 3, 2005
    Yongho Kim

    My paper aims to make the claim that geographically and racially imagined narratives within the Korean American community (in particular New York City) that portray the AIDS/HIV epidemic as originating from outside the ehtno-nationally defined core of the Korean American community have contributed to the ongoing process of binding female bodies racially, both in terms of simple mobility between neighborhoods of color and the formation of interracial couples. Unlike previous papers, I plan to start the research process with a specific agenda/hypothesis in mind.

      • 철자 교정에 도움되시길 빌며:

      – 첫 문단 네번째 줄 “ehtnonationaly” 오타로 보입니다.
      – 세번째 문단 11번째 줄 “in the (literal) darkening of kin” 에서, 혹 skin을 쓰시려다 s가 빠진 것은 아닌지요.
      – ‘-cal’로 끝나는 형용사는 부사가 될 때 ly를 붙이지 않나요?
      ex. geographically, racially, ethnonationally

      흥미롭게 잘 읽었습니다. 제겐 매우 재미있고 관심가는 주제여서, 다음 페이퍼가 기대되는군요. ^^;

      이미 제출한 제안서이지만 (페이퍼가 아닙니다, 4월 말에 제출할 페이퍼에 대한 첫 진도 보고서 -outline & proposal-입니다) 고쳤습니다.

      – 말씀하신대로 ly 가 아니라 lly 이군요. 가끔 가다 lly 가 아니고 ly 인 단어들이 있는데 항상 헷갈립니다

      – kin 은 인류학에서 혈족, 피로 이어지는 관계를 칭합니다.

      – ethno-nationally (대쉬를 넣었습니다.) 는 “민족국가적으로”를 의미합니다.

      관심을 가져주셔서 감사합니다. 눈치 채셨나요? 미디어몹 없이는 감도 못 잡을 주제였습니다. 예를 들면 참고 서적 중 킨셀라는 유유(여기에 한자)님의 귀여움에 대한 글에서 가져온 것이구요, defensive paternalistic nationalism – 여성을 “소유”로 보고 타 인종 남성이 침범하는 것에 대해 반응하는 것을 얼버무려서 번역했습니다 – 은 노바리님이 써오신 일련의 글에서 따온것이지요.

      페이퍼 기대가 많이 되는데요… =) I wish I can type Korean well, but looks like a good paper proposal. Anthro is just so amazing; I am such a novice in that field (taking my first anthro class this semester) but I love it! =) Also taking that class at Wellesley College, so if you need 자료 with gender/women issues and etc., let me know!

    Short paper on current issues in infectious diseases
    February 25, 2005
    Yongho Kim

    Poliomyelitis, called “polio” for short, is a viral infectious disease affecting mostly young children between the age of 3 to 5 years. It is caused by the poliovirus, with three recognized strains – non-paralytic, spinal paralytic, and bulbar – and transmitted through mouth contact with fecally infected water or foods. The virus attacks parts of the central nervous system (the spinal column or the brain stem depending on the strain), causing first fever, vomiting, headaches, pains in the neck and extremities, paralysis and/or death. (Wikipedia, 2005) The virus has a long permanence time, up to 35 days, and is usually found when the child presents floppy and lifeless limbs, a condition known as the acute flaccid paralysis (AFP).

    notes, senior seminar. theories and variables

    theories in our anthropological paper is a way to explain something. the variable is the thing to be explained.

    paper 1
    building of dams affects women’s livelihoods in a particular river valley in Senegal. variable is the dam and new irrigation methods, which is to be explained, and the result of the dam being there is the affected livelihood of women as measured by employment, household income, and so forth

    paper 2
    prostitution is conceptualized as a particular thing in anthropological literature. E will draw upon his particular experience in mongolia where he massaged the feet of an old man and felt like a prostitute because he was providing a sexual service (unpaid, however) using this he will criticize one of his own papers that he wrote in another anthropology class and expand it to anthropology in general. here, the variable is the anthropologist’s conception of prostitution, and the result thereof is the current literature about prostitution.

    fun term: prostitutive anthropology. how is anthropology perceived in prostitution? how is that anthropologist who hanged out with prostitute informants in DC and ended up singing in the car together while raining? (at C&C)

    theories suggested: theories of representation of manhood, WGS stuff, etc

    paper 3
    nursing women in south africa are immigrating en masse to places like saudi arabia, britain, and so forth. there are pull and push factors: wages, satisfaction at the job, social instablity, (what else was here?) variable is all of the factors together

    theories suggested: mimi sheller’s movement of bodies theory

    paper 4
    revival of shamanism in mongolian youth and how it relates to the revival of nationalism after the fall of communism in mongolia. weatherford indicates that just the “practice of shamanism among youth” is a invariable phenomenon, and that it doesn’t change – not a variable. i suggest that maybe the study should compare traditional perceptions of youth towards shamanism before the fall of communism to the revival post-fall, and that would give two differing situations where the two variables, revival of shamanism and neonationalism/fall of communism are correlating variables.

    theories suggested: john fiske’s study of suburban white youth using hip hop from black urban youth as a cultural artifact through which they build up their own sense of belonging/resistance

    observation: i think it was not clear throughout the class what we meant by “variable”. because it seemed to be one kind of thign in one paper, and then in the next paper it was on the other end of the equation.

    weatherford: make sure you bring in the external theory because it fits well with what you want to talk about, not just because you want to show off how cool Foucault or Derrida are and/or you read them. a lot of the academic garbage produced these days comes from students trying to “identify” with a certain school of thought which they find cool/progressive but they are unable to articulate the theory with their actual research, because it was forced upon to start with. (this rings with Guneratne warning of scholars just dropping names to fit in with the rest of academia)

    Anthropology Senior Seminar Yongho Kim February 24 2005…

    Anthropology Senior Seminar
    Yongho Kim
    February 24, 2005

    Assignment: One-page summary of the theory of your research paper. Does it belong to a particular type? Is it informed by particular types? If it cuts across theoretical lines, which theories does it cut across?

    My research paper argues that social relationships among the GW riders is mediated through material objects. Furthermore, people identify with their motorcycles, their accessories, and accents. And talk to other people as if they themselves were portrayed in those obbjects. Therefore, it will rely on theories of the self, in particular Erving Goffman’s theories of presentation of the self in public spaces and games (chapter 5 of “Behavior in Public Spaces”, “Some Rules about Objects of Involvement”) looks promising. I just started reading them this week, and will take me a few days to go through his ideas.

    I have only a basic familiarity with sociology and do not have enough time to delve into the sociological literature that concerns performance theory.

    I may introduce theories used to talk about identity politics and racialized representations, but I am not sure how politically sensitive it is to use theories about underrepresented racial minorities on otherwise mainstream, if small, majority white (to my perception) middle class groups. If I did, however, I would use Suzanne Oboler’s Ethnic Labels, Latino Lives: Identity and the Politics of (Re)Presentation in the United States, Arlene Dávila’s Latinos, Inc: The Marketting and Making of a People, David Roediger’s The Wages of Whiteness, and Manu DiBango’s “The Shortest Way Through”: Strategic Anti-essentialism in Popular Music

    February 10 2005 Senior Seminar Yongho Kim Assignment…

    February 10, 2005
    Senior Seminar
    Yongho Kim

    Assignment: Write a tight one or two-page summary of your final paper topic. Explain what work has already been done and what remains to be done in this course. Be specific in explaining what remains to be done. For example, if you have already gathered data on a study abroad and you now need to process that data, explain how you will do so. If you have already processed it but feel that you need a better theoretical context and understanding of the literature, explain what you will be using and where you will find these materials.

    For my final project, I’ll improve upon the paper The Zen of Motorcycling: Gold Wing Road Riders and their Social Relations which I wrote for the ethnographic interviewing class in the Fall of 2004. The paper examines the weekly activities of the members of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) and makes the argument that the association is a site of social interaction where relations are mediated through objects and the values therein embedded, such as the motorcycles themselves, its accessories and accents, and so forth.

    I want to show the product to prospective employers, especialy to highlight how I can analyze social structures (however that might be intepreted on the employer’s side.)

    The paper quality is poor, so it needs a major overhaul in argument structure and presentation of research materials (use of informant quotes and domains/paradigms)

    For the paper, I have done six interviews (the third one was left half-transcribed) and some internet research on what the GWRRA’s website says about the organization’s history. (And how the organization presents itself to its members and prospective members, in lieu of the lack of the paper version of the newsletter). I need to work again through the raw material and squeeze more domain structures that help make the point that social relations are indeed mediated through objects.

    At the suggestion of professor Guneratne, I have looked up references to Irving Goffman’s theory of staged performance theory, but have failed to incorporate it with the paper’s argument. I plan to search for Goffman’s theory and derivatives to find a previous example of an ethnography with a similar focus.

    The raw materials are also a bit lacking. I might do one or two extra interviews in early March with a second informant on what goes on in different GWRRA activities (given the great variety of activites, I have only covered the major few events. Also, my informant did not have first hand knowledge of some recent trends in GWRRA event organizing.)

Back to School Night!

Normally, Mrs. Yollis' class looks like this.

Or this...

Last night, Mrs. Yollis' class looked like this!

and this....

At Back to School night, Mrs. Yollis talked to the parents about what the students would learn in third grade and how parents can help.

Each parent sat at their child's desk.

Mrs. Yollis enjoyed meeting her new students.

How did your parents like being in your class?

Did they mention your clean desk?

  1. Dear Mrs. Yollis and Students,

    I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Mrs. Yollis and hearing about all the fantastic learning that will be going on this year. Maybe I could quit my job and go back to 3rd grade for the year? Hmmmmm....

    I wish all of you a wonderful school year. Study hard and always do your best!

  2. @Shannon,

    Thank you for leaving a nice comment! We would love to have you come and join us for the year. See if you can work that out!

    Your friends,
    Mrs. Yollis' Class

  3. Dear Mrs. Yollis' Third Grade Class,

    I LOVED visiting your class on Back to School Night and am probably as excited as all of you to follow the class on the blog. Keep up the good work - and invite the parents back again...soon!

    (Jaxon's mom)

  4. Dear Mrs.Yollis,

    My mom told me that my desk was so neat. My dad told me that he didn't even fit in the chair! My mom and dad said they would love to write a comment. And so do I.

  5. Dear Mrs.Yollis,

    My mom and dad were very proud of me and my desk. They also were surprised about my neatness in writing. When you were in third grade did you have back to school night?

    Your student,

  6. @Nick,

    Like your parents, I am proud of you too! Not only is your writing neat, but you have an excellent vocabulary. Even your Chinese writing looked good!

    Yes, they had Back to School Night when I was in school. I remember when I first heard about it, I thought my parents were literally going to go back to school and work. I thought my teacher would make them do worksheets and multiplication flash cards! Funny, huh?

    Thanks for your comment,
    Mrs. Yollis

  7. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I asked my mom how clean my desk was and she said it was very impressive! She also liked being in our class. And my mom said she barely fit in my chair. How was back to school night for you?

    Your Student,

  8. @ Kendall,

    Thank you for taking the time to comment!

    You asked how Back to School night was for me. I enjoy the night because it gives me a chance to meet all of the parents and tell them about the wonderful plans I have for the year. It is funny to see all of the adults sitting in the small chairs. :-)

    Mrs. Yollis

  9. Mrs. Yollis

    It was a very good opportunity to meet you and the other parents.I'm very impressed with your blog. Not only my daughter but also myself are enjoying your blog every day. By the way, I love the before and after
    classroom pictures.

  10. Dear Mrs Yollis,

    I love your pictures of China.
    My favorite picture is the picture of when you were climbing the wall of China.Your lucky hats are very interesting.You guys have an amazing blog
    your friend,Graham

  11. Dear Mrs. Yollis (and students),

    What an informative back to school night!

    It was great seeing where all the hard work comes together.

    You've all got a great year to look forward to and by far the coolest teacher at Chaparral.

    Can't wait to continue reading your blog.

    Eric (aka Ben's dad)

  12. Dear new 3rd graders and Mrs Yollis,
    Well done for getting some new kids for your grade. In 2KM we are getting a new kid and his name is Cameron. It is school holidays in Australia at the moment and we go back to school on October the 5th.
    Have a great year and see ya in your next posts. Also if you also want to get into my blog just click on my name where it says Riley said and I hope you like it and please leave a comment.
    From Riley Coghlan in Miss McGeady's grade 2KM

  13. Dear Mrs Yollis and class,
    Your pictures look fabulous and very impressive keep the great work up!
    I also saw the video of types of triangles and personally I think it's such a great way to learn it especially for kids like us so just keep up this amazing work and you will blow everyone else away! :)

    Sincerely, Sydney

Yorkshire Photo Explorer

Yorkshire photography locations

Yorkshire has a fantastic array of places to photograph, from the Dales, the moors, big cities and the coast. When I bought my first DSLR camera, I wanted to get out there, explore and try to take some great photos. However I had no real idea of where to start. What are the best Yorkshire photography locations? Where is a good place to go at sunset? Where can I see wildlife? What city locations make interesting subjects? I’d seen many amazing photos of beautiful places around the county, but needed some inspiration to get me going.

About this blog

I created the Yorkshire Photo Explorer blog as a way of encouraging me to get out and see a bit more of Yorkshire and try to take some interesting (and hopefully occasionally good) photos along the way. I’m not a professional photographer, and class myself very much as an amateur. This blog is therefore not about how to take photos, it is about getting out and just having fun taking photographs whilst exploring this amazing county.

Many of the locations I aim to visit will be the classic tourist hotspots, which have been photographed many times before. However for me, it may be the first time. I also hope to seek out some lesser known places. I wanted to share my photos and where I took them for other people like me who want to try to take some great photos, but want inspiration for where to go (whether you are a Yorkshire resident or visitor)!

I’m still very much learning, both about photography and places to visit. I welcome suggestions of where to go in Yorkshire for photography, so please contact me if you have any ideas.

About me

My name is Su and I live in Leeds. I love travel, exploring new places and attempting to take photos that are in focus. I’m pretty good at the first two and slowly improving on the third. Travel and photography have always been two of my favourite things, but I’ve only really started doing more photography in the last three years. My first love is wildlife photography, but I like to try all styles.

    Get it? He’s sporty and she’s fancy and they’re going to prom together! That’s a very nice dirty blanket they’re standing on there…

    ← Previous post

    Next post →

    1. Is it a prom photo? The baseball shoe is a left shoe. I’d say it’s her left and right feet, telling me she’s sporty and classy. Maybe so but the pic sure isn’t. Maybe some astroturf on a dance floor might have worked better. I dunno.

    2. Michelle

      I think Bob’s correct. That’s a girls softball. I get the concept but it’s doesn’t work in this picture!

      • Jennifer

        It’s not a “girls” softball; it is a high-visibility softball. Many men’s leagues use the yellow ball as well.

        I’m baffled how anyone would think this is a prom couple photo. It’s clearly one person in two shoes. Or else someone found a date with identical ankles.

        I do wonder if the dirty cleats were what got the dirt all over the black fabric. The client might have wanted the photo, but the photographer shouldn’t have put it in their portfolio! (Unless this is just the best one he has, and clients buy it; in which case, I can understand having it there- the more high school girls who see it and think “I want that” the more clients he gets.)

    3. I think Bob is correct, too. I didn’t know there were special softballs for girls! I thought it might have been lime green as a glow in the dark feature so it would be easier to find during night games, like orange golf balls for playing in snow.

    4. chuck

      You’ve thoroughly dissected a bad photo, and come to the shared conclusion that… it bad.

    5. Melissa

      This image was done properly by someone else (It was a senior picture who wanted a photo showing both her sporty side and prom); my guess is that this image is a poor copy of it. (or the good picture was a much better copy of this)

    6. Kenneth

    7. Its one person…

    8. Hi, I am always new sexy girl do you have a photo?

    9. You know what’s not classy? Being an effing hater.

The Holiday Gift that Makes You a Super Hero!

We all know the vast amount of information, whether it be fact or fallacy, that exists on the Internet. And we know that it takes a little bit of "know how" to make your own website. Well here is a great way for anyone one from "one to ninety-two" to get started.

My friends over at are constantly working to bring the latest happenings to us from the side of the computer world that offers huge opportunities for free. Today they sent out an update letting everyone know a new use for a Raspberry Pi - a device so inexpensive that everyone should have one. If you do not already have it, head on over to my previous post to learn a little more: More Raspberry Pi to Love.

Then have a look at this intro video about a new initiative called Coder for Raspberry Pi. I think it will whet your appetite.

Borrowing from the Coder for Raspberry Pi originators; "Coder is a free, open source project that turns a Raspberry Pi into a simple platform that educators and parents can use to teach the basics of building for the web. New coders can craft small projects in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, right from the web browser."

Check out the article describing how to use Coder for Raspberry Pi here: Raspberry Pi and Coder by Google for beginners and kids and look directly at the Coder for Raspberry Pi website here: A simple way to make web stuff on Raspberry Pi.

Thank you, Google, for yet another great opportunity to learn!

Last One.

I mean, surely there will be one more, some odd mid- or late-June evening, or some mistimed lottery-winning early-August fall preview, but it feels like tonight was the last good night. Cool. It was cool all day, and then this evening at the Bats game — though they're no longer called the Bats — it cooled off all through sunset and into the late innings and there was a breeze out of the north and even somehow the east and I had with me a flannel shirt that I did not need but it was nice, friends and fans of weather, just to know that it made sense to have brought it, that the just-in-case wasn't so far afield that I looked or felt like a dumbass, even as I was sporting my brand-new dumbass Bats-cum-Hoppers orange cap. The Hoppers. They named the team the Grasshoppers when they moved them to their new stadium, and then they couldn't even stick with that. There used to be a guy at the old stadium who would sit high in the concrete bleachers and say-shout in this low Minnesota accent Let's Go Bats. Go Bats Go. Our new Disneyfied stadium allows for no such support. I miss the old. I hate change. Tonight was the last good night.

Your final score: West Virginia Power (motto: Get Plugged In!) 4, Bats 3. We'll be back with scores and highlights from around the league right after these messages.

CCSO ride-along — a different perspective

Share this story:

Text Size:

I recently had the opportunity to do a ride-along with the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office. As a retired police officer, I selected a Friday night and rode from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. with a deputy who patrols Parkside, hoping to catch some action.

My adventure certainly was everything I expected it to be. From the moment I sat in the cruiser, it immediately brought back many fond career memories. It seemed like it was yesterday that I was a rookie, some 30-plus years ago. I also realized that the role of a first responder is best left to the youngsters on the job, giving the physical requirements of that assignment.

6 months!!

I've got like 4 blog posts I need to write. But I decided to go with this one first!

My baby is 6 months old! That one I can't believe has actually happened!

So here are the stats on this cutie for this month!

-Madeline has figured out how to reach for people. She now can decide if she wants to go to someone or not. If she does she'll reach her hands towards you. If she doesn't she'll either swat your hand away or just look at you, or cling to the person holding her (usually me)
-She is now very clingy to me. Like she never wants me to set her down, or give her to strangers, or people she doesn't like. And most of the time doesn't want to go to Zack. Ha.
-She has gotten stranger anxiety now
-She as of yesterday can whine. Its a really funny sound, but at the same time is really annoying.
-Mastered the fake cry
-is now rolling over from stomach to back, to back to stomach like a pro
-She's scooting a little bit
-Can pretty much sit up all by herself but because of her torticollis she topples over frequently to that side.
-can walk when you hold her hands
-can eat table food and baby food like a champ!
-hates hates hates her car seat
-loves to play with toys
-She eats a ton!!

The fake cry

Zack is holding her back because she would get so excited she would jump and then face plant.

So we had to lay her down instead of her 6 month picture

Sitting up like a pro!

And I loved this fourth of July picture!

I know I always say this but honestly? These past 6 months have flown by. I used to tell people "Oh I just had a baby" Then like 3 weeks ago I was sitting there going "I didn't just have a baby! She's almost 6 months old!!" Which is so sad to think about. She's getting so smart and so big! I can't believe how fast she is growing!

Life brings unexpected twists and turns in life. We make plans, we are told no, we try again, we are told no, and then finally when we least expect it, when we feel as though that plan isn't right God gives us a yes.

I am in a literature by women class. And it's absolutely horrible. Yes horrible. For the first 2 weeks, that class had me feeling so hopeless and horrible about myself. I am pretty sure I am the only LDS person in that class. Sure, there are other people in that class that used to be LDS and have very bitter feelings towards the LDS church. These are feminists who spend the entire class period judging the LDS church and anybody who thinks differently than them.

I could not handle it, because some of the things these women were saying were absolutely true. But as I looked around at each of these women there wasn't this light in them. You know those types of people who just seem to glow from the inside out? They just have something about them that has everyone drawn to them?

It's the Savior. He's the light. Last week in Relief Society we talked about this a little bit. And in my class when I felt like my light was diminishing I was able to feel my light being restored at church. Because I know in my heart that where I am, and what I'm doing is right. That this light I'm feeling is a good thing.

When we constantly live in the dark, we go to very dark and scary places. Trust me. My depression has brought me to a dark place, but the one person and thing that has kept me going, is my Savior. He's given me purpose, He's given me light, and He's given me more than I could ever repay.

My purpose calls me mommy. My purpose and light asks for kisses and when I give her kisses she feels "all better!" My other purpose gives me kicks, and reminders that I have a purpose to bring this little person into this world.

So I don't care what those women say about what I do, or how I do things. I know that this is life I want to live. With these little babies calling me mommy.

  1. Love this! I think being a mother is one of the greatest purposes we have as women, I'm excited for that opportunity when it comes for me! Thanks for your great example!

An Honest Review of " Justice League."

An Honest Review of “Justice League.”

You’ve likely read the critics reviews of Justice League. Most pan it, saying the characters are thin, the CGI unbelievable and the plot ludicrous. The problem with most critics is that they are over-educated, pseudo-intellectuals who bad-mouth any movie that doesn’t live up to their artsy-fartsy expectation of high-art that addresses social problems, the downtrodden, sexuality, and diversity.

Justice league doesn’t do any of that.

What it did was turn Aquaman who always looked like a poster boy for the Hitler youth, into a growling, tall, dark and gruesome character that fits right in with Batman and Wonder Woman.

The majority of the laughs come from the Flash. And Ezra Miller does a fine job. A much different character than The TV version and I like both.

As for Cyborg, the character needs more depth, but as the newbie, he will likely be fleshed out more in future films.

Unlike “Spider-Man Homecoming” a movie loved by the critics, due to its ridiculous diversity, and the hero’s clownish ineptitude, Justice League is simply a super-hero movie where the good guys courageously take on a formidable bad guy and after getting their asses kicked a couple of times, press on to save the day.

What’s more, it’s fun!

I am convinced Joss Wheaton saved the movie because many of the sneak previews we saw were not contained in the film itself. What’s more, I noticed a number of kids with their parents and both clearly enjoyed it.

As did I.

But there are flaws. Lois Lane reveals one of the character’s secret identity in front of a squad of policemen. And Batman makes a fatal mistake, yet gets away with it. How, is glossed over and not explained.

I can live with that.

Overall, this is a “fun for the whole family” type of movie. And if you’re on the fence about seeing it due to the critic’s comments, go see it anyway. You’ll likely be pleasantly surprised.

I Thought My Cat Was Insane.

Admit it, there have been times when you were convinced your cat was plotting against you and was determined to turn your life into a living hell.

Punishment will never cure bad behavior in a cat. They know that if they are punished, they will not do it again, in front of you. Most cats will wait until you leave the house. Unlike a dog, cats don’t respond to yelling or threats, instead they will run away and wait till later to get their revenge.

Usually by peeing in your shoe. Which was a real problem until I got THIS

Cats love praise, being petted and cat treats. Yelling will only make them afraid of you.

If you stop and think about what your cat wants, it might help the situation. If you’ve been out all day, when you get home your cat is likely bored and wants to play.

You just want to plop into the couch and eat Doritos

They jump into your lap for some Lovin’ and you, not in the mooddrop them on the floor.

They take the hint and when you’re not looking, pee in your slipper or in the case of my Siamese, Ducky, climb on top of the TV and while I was watching it, piss down the back of it.

That dope was lucky he didn’t get electrocuted! But that did concern me so I got THIS

Cats need to scratch and stretch their claws. It is up to you to provide scratching material, like a scratching post. If you don’t he will use your couch. The cat doesn’t care. If they do something and it turns out to be a good experience, they’ll do it again.

Ergo Ducky wanted my attention so he pissed down the back of my TV.

That certainly got my attention.

But he was also a great friend.

At the time I had a big stuffed chair with big arms that Ducky would sit on next to me as I watched TV. I used to drink beer in a Pilsner glass and on several occasions, when I went to the bathroom I’d come back and find him drinking my beer.

So I swatted him on the butt and he’d wait until my next bathroom break to climb on top of the TV and well…

If you cat is peeing outside the liter box like Ducky, then do what I did and get THIS

Ducky passed away at 14 years. A very sad day. He was a great pet and I have gone through a number of TV’s since, but I’ll never have another Ducky.

Time, The Grind, and Ben Stein

A friend’s Facebook status:

“My curfew was the street lights. My mom called my name, not my cell.
I played outside with friends, not online. If I didn’t eat what my mom cooked, then I didn’t eat. Sanitizer didn’t exist, but you could get your mouth washed out with soap.
Getting dirty was OK, and neighbors cared as much as our parents did. Repost if you once drank water out of a garden hose and survived.”

Were those really the ‘good old days?’

Face to face. Not Facebook.

Dumbphones. Not smartphones.

C:>diskcopy. Don’t even try it now or you might get sued.

During a recent episode of CBS Sunday Morning, Ben Stein noted, in his Buellerish way, that perhaps the reason time and workplace productivity seem to escape us is due, in part, to our extraordinary gadget usage.

I can connect in ways never before. I can spend time commenting on how cute my 3rd grade teacher’s dog looks with that vest. I have over 800 friends on Facebook! I can fritter hours away and have the appearance of being productive.

OK, Mr. Stein, you win.

But what if… What if we didn’t have those gadgets? Would we be better off? Would we connect with each other more regularly?

I suppose we’d have more time on our hands.

We could innovate and create make more gadgets. Nice.

Lying in the 'duyan' or hammock is one thing people won't be able to get too much off. Maybe it's the outdoor feeling of being care-free is what we normally associate with or maybe, it's because we all secretly long to feel like babies again.

(Unfortunately, they had to take this duyan down after a few days to give way to something more pleasurable to them: drinking tables and benches made of 'kawayan'. Zaki and I dig those, too)

Random Sickness and Movie Reviews

Okay, a bit of sickness has kept me away from the warmth of my keyboard, but now I am back, although still slightly sick. Don't worry, you can't catch it over the internet... or at least I don't think you can. I mean, there are viruses out there for your computer, but could you just imagine what it would be like to catch an actual illness from some ad-ware?! You would stop what you're doing because all that you can see in front of you is a little floating window offering antibiotics and all ya gotta do is "click here". You reach out in a futile attempt to get well, but you have just given access to your body by a fatal virus! All of your memories are erased. You shit your pants, vomit, and bleed out of your ears. Your eyeballs are replaced by little tiny blue screens of death. Your friends and family take you in to the hospital where they direct you to the Geek Squad wing. The Geek Doctors (Geektors?) suggest to your family that maybe it's time to trash the older model and upgrade to a new one. Then, they pull the plug on you.

Yeah... that would suck. :-\

Anyway, on to the movies that I've seen recently and my reviews on them (Buy, Rent, Pass), in no particular order:

Pathology: Pretty decent. Not for the faint-of-heart. Rent.

Captive: Lame predictable plot with bland "acting". Pass.

Adventures in Babysitting: Cute time waster. I'm good just watching it the one time. Made me miss the 80's. Rent.

The Color Purple: OMG! Such an awesome flick! I tried to not cry during the movie, but that last scene will reach right in and rip the tears from your ducts! BUY!

The Killing Room: Kinda boring, but the ending made up for it and made me wanting more. Rent.

G.I. Joe: Mindless, slack-jaw, eye-candy. Seriously, don't try to follow the plot. Bad guys vs good guys and things go BOOM, that's all ya need to know. Just a pure frosting movie. Buy.

The Big Tease: Had some funny bits, not many. I'm good with just the once. Pass (sorry Craig).

Santa's Slay: More comedy than horror, weak story, bland acting, fun for just the once. Rent.

Little Black Book: MUCH better than I thought it would be! Saw it at Walmart for four buck so I may just buy it! Buy, duh!

Did you see any of these? What did you think? Let me know by posting a comment! Don't worry, you don't have to have an account here to post a comment. :-P

  1. I have seen none of these movies other than A in BS...one of my 80s favorites as well. I just wanted to say thanks for the nightmares from your opening comments about getting a virus from the computer. I now have visions of zombie mutant aliens coming out of my screen, somehow causing me to bleed from the ears and shit my pants. Great. Now I have to stock up on survival gear just to use my computer. Luvs and Huggies.

Subject: Re: Windows HPC

I'll take a shot at this, as there are a couple of interesting questions
that arise.

1.  Regarding reliability, I've not had a *working* Windows server or
workstation achieve a 6 month uptime.  I'm thus fascinated by your
reliabiltiy.  I have achieved a theoretical uptime of over 6 months on a
couple of Windows boxes that are not doing much beyond running the OS,
with little or no use beyond mail/web browsing.

It's been my experience in the academic environment that Windows
workstations and servers are not available for off-peak cluster
computing.  The infrastructure's present but not made available to the

While most of the researchers I know use Windows for their workstation
preference, I don't consider a requirement for Microsoft Word to drive
an HPC solution.  I've rarely encountered technically astute
researchers, especially those who code their own, who consider Microsoft
a requirement, and are reluctant to approach Linux as a parasigm.  THe
primary exception to this was a PhD candidate who'd tried gcc and was
happier with MFC because it'd worked better at the onset of his
research, and was reluctant to change when the open source product
achieved what he considered an acceptable level of maturity.  He did,
however, curse Microsoft's implementation of MFC and C++ on a daily basis.

Save a major donation from Microsoft, you'll have a difficult time
persuading me that the TCO of a Microsoft driven cluster is less than an
open-source cluster.  Since we're looking at Campus-wide relicensing of
several million dollars a year to MS for the licenses we have,
open-source solutions have begun to look more promising.

I've rarely met a Windows system where managability via remote tools was
as simple as Microsoft wanted me to believe.

While an interesting argument might be made for standardization on
Windows and its software, and the benefits to TCO, have you rationally
considererd the modifications in Microsoft licensing?  Have you
considered the costs associated with relicensing annually?  Or are you,
perhaps, exempt, due to the Microsoft grants?

Mnaagability.  Hmm.  I'm not sure we're talking about the same MS OS.
When did they get particularly straightforward to manage?  Oh!  I
forgot!  With Active Directory (not LDAP, an _industry_ standard) you
can manage everything without effort.

And tell me, just where do you get 2 machines per desktop?  Since I *do*
still have 4 apps that I've not been willing to go to different
software, and thus have to run Windows for them (or maybe not! I've not
checked the current Wine release) I do run Windows sometimes... as a
VMWare client.  And my laptop runs Linux too.  And I'm perfectly happy
with my results, thank you.

I'm sorry.  I, or most here, can refute most of your claims.  The fact
is, it's true, that there are some HPC applications that require
parallelization and are solely available in Windows architecture.  This,
in fact, is your sole rational claim to a Windows HPC development center.

In my opinion, you'd have been better off saying, "Because we wanted to;
no real reason."

Apparently, your point of view is colored by not having been exposed to
some of the subtler points regarding use if the Linux and Unix OS's over
the years.  I'll admit I've lost some of my knowledge of Windows in the
years since I abandoned it, for cause, for my desktop.

Your arguments fall on deaf ears, for the most part, in this forum,
because we've aready met your arguments, over time, and have overcome
them, or worse, have no further reason to debate their falacious nature.

It's nice to see someone working with HPC on Windows.  Please, however,
don't try to tell me just how it's going to make my world better,
because I'm well aware that, until Windows is improved, debugged and
secured, it's not likely to happen.
