Every open-plan office it has ever been my misfortune to work – or as often as not loaf – in has one of them. At least one. The blind puller. You know him, they are usually men, he who like an automaton lowers the blinds and turns the lights on the moment he gets in. And once he has got that blind down – it's staying down until he leaves. He is frequently also the one who insists on opening the windows on the coldest of days "to let some fresh air in" just before he goes to lunch, closing them and carefully lowering the blinds again the moment he returns.
His twice-daily appearance on whatever pitiful corporate stage he is on begins with his familiar entrance of lights on, curtain down. His theatrics paradoxically playing out the opposite, almost as if to deny the existence, of what one would find in a Theatre of the Arts. An appropriate entrance then, for that theatre of the absurd otherwise known as the corporate office. Wherein the curtains stay down all through the performance, only being raised after the actors have left the stage.
One can comprehend a desire to work in a smoke-free atmosphere, but must the natural light of our Sun also be banished, to designated "shining areas" outside if not complete prohibition? Why would anybody choose to sit in a room without a view out of any window under artificial light all day? I don't know how it is down under, but up here they will even blind over the North-facing windows. Why keep the blinds down on cloudy days or through thick fog? Is the sight of a foggy day outside too painfully close to what they experience on the insides of their heads? Could it be they imagine themselves in space-ships spinning around space? In a prison, perhaps, chained to a desk one loathes with a passion precariously short of postal?
Do they do it because secretly they resent – much as I openly do – having to go to work, and do not wish to look out of the window and risk seeing more fortunate souls enjoying the sunlight that to us office-workers is denied? Thus we spend our days in the gloomy rooms of the corporate House of Pain. Should we, then, fear such demented behaviour?
We sit under strip-lamps. Are we not Men?
I once thought it was a manhood thing: Saying of the Law. A testicular gesture of superiority in compensation for a lack of seniority in the organization. A testosterone-fueled tribal display of potency; bearing witness at dawn to the erection of a gigantic phallus that blots out the Sun. The blind's lowered position essentially representing am inverted penis which, to the guy whose hand holds it, is psychologically equivalent to spending his day in the office strutting balls-out with all the trimmings of a stallion in heat. Like the ancient Scots warriors of yore, instilling fear and commanding respect by painting their balls blue and raising their kilts en-masse to the enemy.
The modern day allegedly civilized office warrior asserts his masculinity through the medium of the lowered blind. An item of pseudo-communal furniture that he, and he alone, controls.
Then I thought that they were just kind of like vampires living in fear of exposure to the Sun. The CEOs and executives bilking the companies they work for are unarguably vampiric in their nature, so why wouldn't some of their minions wish to emulate the bloodsucking ways of their masters? I toyed with the idea of taking in cloves of garlic and with them polluting the environment around the blind control if for nothing else other than to make the point. The notion, however, that corporations other than banks are controlled by vampires and staffed by reanimated corpses seems rather fanciful – in spite of all the mounting evidence supporting such a claim.
Then one day, on a cold dark Winter's morning, this happened at night. It wasn't quite the night-shift but I like to start my day early. I'd be in the office at 06:30, and being the kind of guy that considers workaholism to be a dangerous and debilitating form of mental illness I'd be out of there eight long-ass hours later. The DBA sitting two desks away also came in at that hour, and the blinds would be lowered immediately thereafter. I asked him what he was doing. Lowering the blinds, he told me. Yes I can see that but why, it's nighttime. He reckoned that later on it would be daytime and then the Sun would come up and shine on him. He made it sound as part of some crack military operation whereby a pre-emptive lowering of the blinds will forestall the Sun's flanking attack. And when will this attack happen I asked.
So the vampire theory was back to the fore and there you have it: The open-plan offices of the world's Fortune 500 companies are populated, at least in part, by the living dead.
Do you have an irritating pain-in-the-ass blind-pulling pasty-faced daylight-avoiding asshole-motherfucker in your place of work? Are you mad as hell all day but too polite to not take it any more and intervene? Then use the form below and vent your spleen.

featuring THE CONDUCTOR
created and written by H.H. NEVILLE
I watched him retire. I was a cherub-cheeked ginger then; my voice hadn't even deepened. Youthful ideals bubbled into watery meniscuses over my eyes until they burst, streaming down my freckled face. It was a sad day. Even the usually bright TV screen seemed morose, dim; weeping loudly, distorted and full of static.
This was no Lou Gehrig farewell. There was no valiant speech, or reflection of a Hall of Fame career. It was no VJ Day parade through the streets with rag-top Caddys pulling heroes through a narrow cavern of swooning human beings under a heavy snow of streamers.
I didn't know him then as I do now. No one did and it didn't even matter; he was family. We knew he would do anything in his colossal power to protect us, protect our city.
When he needed us to return the favor, we refused.
Carrion was heaped in neck high piles and the funeral pyres burned wild.
The carnage had ended and a clear victor sat his throne atop the dead. Unsatisfied this new King sought to add one last corpse.
Hampton Means took city mayor. It was a bloodbath.
A savvy politico, he convinced the people that the dangers larger cities like San Francisco and New York were now facing with "science villains," were a short time away. Maybe a year, a month, a week, tomorrow. His lightning rod was our own science hero, "The Human Locomotive," the Conductor.
He said the Conductor was catnip to villainy, only a matter of time. It didn't matter that he'd never hurt anyone, and only been a beacon of good. It wasn't his fault, that's just how it was. The way of the world.
The Cape Riots fresh in everybody's minds, it was the perfect platform.
Even mom voted for him. Said she did it for my safety. I felt betrayed.
It only took two months for the "Means Act" to be enacted, and the Conductor went from an admired personality and loved protector of our city to a "vigilante." They told him to turn in his mask and admit his identity to the authorities or leave the city forever.
Mom said she'd take me to the Retirement Gala the city was throwing in his honor so I could say a final goodbye to my childhood hero.
I refused.
She put it on the TV over dinner anyway and for some reason I watched it with her.
It was the middle of Pioneer Square, with the Firemen's Memorial hinted at in the background. There was a glass podium adorned with an official city seal and three posed microphones. To each side were large blown up photos of the Conductor; smiling wide below shiny copper goggles and bole half-mask that covered his upper skull. He wasn't a big man, about six-one and amply built; just athletic enough to look the part in his matching auburn body suit that covered him neck to toe with copper pinstripes in patches on his ribs. Beside those were several seats filled with city officials, judges and even Means.
The local broadcast kept cameras on them. Thirty minutes went by, an hour. Means and his cronies seemed visibly annoyed, started to sweat, watched the little hand tick away on their watches. For two hours the cameras were fixed, waiting. Eventually they switched over to some sitcoms, already in progress.
The Conductor, "The Man Who Couldn't be Stopped," didn't. He left; turned away from us – as we had done to him – and never came back.
There were rumors that he'd go down a few states to LA and fought crime there. They didn't mind Capes; they even had their own team there.
I knew better. The city he had loved broke his heart.
Three years later, I was about eleven then, and in a spot of trouble. Late for dinner after six hours at my favorite arcade tucked inside Pier 57 and seeking a stern lecture from mom.
I decided it would be quicker not to wait for the Waterfront trolley, instead huffing it around the International District into Beacon Hill. I knew a few shortcuts to make the trip quicker, cutting through narrow berths and sprinting knotted alleyways. The sun bubbled away like a fried egg under the evening sky; a pumpkin orange yolk and indigo whites. It was getting dark, real objects turned black lost their shape, became shadows.
"Hey, kid, hold on, a sec."
They were just shadows, too.
"Yeah, I think you dropped this," the voice came again.
I turned, gullible young kid. I still believed my city was as good as when the Conductor watched over it.
It's funny, I don't really remember their faces that well. I just remember when they finally stepped out of the shadows, the two of them looked like they meant to hurt me.
I do remember the baseball bat they had with them. A Junior Carolina Clubs, the upper two-thirds painted shiny acrylic black, and the lower third blond hardwood.
My eyes started to water and my teeth chattered. I knew right away, I'd been duped and that this was bad news. Worse than being late for dinner.
"All right kid, hand over your wallet," demanded the one with the bat. "I'd hate to get my bat here a little messy."
"But–but–I–don't have anything," I tried to protest, scared.
"Whatever, kid, I saw you dropping coins into the arcade all day."
I reached into my back pocket, returned with wallet feebly in hand. "I may ha–have some bus money, I think."
"See, that's something, ain't it? That'd buy me some smokes."
I said nothing, just held the dollar store red Saturday morning cartoon wallet out toward them.
"You just lied to me kid. That's bad, real bad."
"Is this what my city is these days?" A third voice entered the narrow alley, from behind.
The small-time crooks spun one-eighty.
They started laughing real hard. Between them I could see hints of another man. He looked decently built, a broad shouldered man, showing signs of age; his cheeks had begun to sag into jowls and a bit of a paunch showed beneath his clothing. His dark hair was fading; speckled with grey. He favored his right leg with a slight lean.
"You want some of us, old man?" The man without the bat bantered; his voice still giggly.
"Take all of me you want, leave the kid alone, got it?"
"Sure, whatever you say, Pops."
The thugs charged him, two-on-one. The one with the bat took his best Reggie Jackson and swung.
I closed my eyes, couldn't watch.
I heard the muffled explosion of wood against skull and body hit the ground.
I wearily opened them again.
The two thugs were prone, unconscious on the pavement behind the stranger, old enough to be my father.
He held my wallet out in front of me, smiling wide.
"Don't want to forget this, son." I took it from him, still shocked. "Are you okay to make it home?"
"Y–y–you said 'your city?'"
That was the day I met him, the Conductor. It was so weird to think of him as old enough to be my dad. As we got to know each other over the next few years, though, it felt more comfortable.
He didn't like going out in public any more. The city felt different, not like the good ol' days. He had me fetch his groceries twice a week so he could stay in.
We'd sit and talk. He'd tell me stories and I'd ask questions. When I asked him, "What have you done all these years after you retired (neither of us felt comfortable with the word 'quit')?" He answered in his simple, sensical style: "The only thing a none-too-bright, out-of-work science hero with part of an English degree can do…write pulps."
I'd even read some of them before. They weren't very good.
He taught me how to solve for x in proportionate fractions, throw a curveball, which frequencies the blues used for dispatch and that it didn't matter if a man had super strength, he would never be able to pull a ferry out of the Sound; not enough size, mass or evenly distributed torque. Whatever he pulled on would snap off in his hands. He learned that the hard way, he said.
Two weeks before my fourteenth birthday, I hit puberty. Voice cracked, hair on my chest; the usual. I chalked up the swollen muscles and burning beneath the skin part of "growing into a man."
The pain got to be too much one day. I knew something was wrong. I collapsed in the shower, it felt like something was tearing apart my chest from the inside and it was. Gobs of flesh flaked from my chest, sticky and wet. Streams of shower spray masked my tears, but could not mask my screams. Mom's screams soon joined from the inverse of the door. She was pounding, begging to be let in. I couldn't face her, didn't know how to face her. I didn't know what was going on. I just knew I didn't feel safe; not in my own body.
I snubbed tears into my forearm, and put my clothes on quickly, still damp. I just wanted to be safe. I could only think of one place. I opened the door, sprinted past my mother. She called for me, crying. I wish she could help, but I knew she couldn't. Eventually, when she saw the bathroom, she knew she couldn't either; mixed chunks of human flesh in various states of turning to metal littered the floor and tub like molted feathers.
He answered the door, saw me in tatters. He said nothing, picked up the pieces and brought me inside.
We didn't talk. He looked over my steel skin, his eyes moist. Mine slowly dried. When he was done, he put a hand over my damp scalp. It was the most certain touch I'd ever felt.
"It'll be okay," he said. "It'll be okay, it'll be okay." He just kept repeating those words until I believed him, stilled.
"What do I do?"
"I don't have all the answers for you, son; I'm sorry." He left me, walked toward his cellar steps; his voice growing faint as he dipped below. "But I have something that'll help."
Under a handful of minutes, he came slowly back up the stairs, a plain wooden shoebox under his arm.
"Not the best security system ever," he chuckled; handed me the box. "But I pity the crook that comes across this old man."
He nodded for me to open it.
I removed the lid, placed it carefully to the love seat cushion. Under a brown velvet sleeve, was a vision of my youth, I was so terrified of losing. A ruddy brown leather half-mask, gold hooped goggles sewn into them.
I looked at him, disbelieving. He was smiling wide as always.
"It's yours now."

This week, Mote Marine Laboratory's Staff Scientist, Kim Bassos-Hull, and Georgia Aquarium's Nutritionist and Researcher, Dr. Lisa Hoopes, are conducting routine health assessments of spotted eagle rays in Sarasota County.
On Wednesday, Sept. 28, the two researchers will participate in a panel discussion and mini-film screening during the "Youth Making Ripples" Film Competition at Mote in Sarasota. Details below.
Since the inception of Mote's Spotted Eagle Ray Conservation Program in 2009, Mote scientists have fitted about 540 spotted eagle rays with passive integrated transponder tags and 14 of those with acoustic tags in an effort to learn more about their life history, reproduction and population status in the first-ever comprehensive spotted eagle ray conservation project in the Gulf of Mexico.
So far, Mote scientists have learned that the Sarasota area hosts all size classes of spotted eagle rays from babies (pups) to adults. Some rays stay in the area or return after months to years. Some pups are born in the late summer and early fall, and the rays move or migrate to other locations in winter months when local waters are too cold.
Mote scientists have also noted a declining then stabilizing trend in numbers of rays observed in aerial and boat surveys, which indicates a need for continued monitoring of this species' status.
Because there is not enough information about the distribution, migration, feeding habits, growth rates and reproductive biology of spotted eagle rays, Mote researchers initiated a multi-collaborative conservation research project in 2009, including Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, a major supporter of the program.
"With the help of many organizations, including Georgia Aquarium, we have been the first to document population status reports of spotted eagle rays in the Gulf of Mexico," Bassos-Hull said. "This information is important, because these rays are a good indicator of the overall ecosystem. The more we know about them, the more we know about the overall ecosystem's health."
Other collaborators include California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco; El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR) in Campeche, Mexico; Harbor Branch/Florida Atlantic University in Ft. Pierce; University of Havana's Center for Marine Research in Havana, Cuba; and University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee.
This conservation project began with support from the National Aquarium in Baltimore, but has since expanded into a full research program with supporters including Georgia Aquarium, the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund and the Save Our Seas Foundation.
Mercury Marine, which has been making world-class outboards and sterndrives for more than 75 years, is also a major supporter of this research project. They donated a large portion of the cost of the engine to operate the Ono V boat Mote uses for this research project.
This week, Hoopes joins Bassos-Hull, for a health assessment of spotted eagles rays in Sarasota County waters.
To learn more about this research, join Bassos-Hull and Hoopes for a mini film screening and panel discussion during the "Youth Making Ripples" Film Competition at 6-7:30 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, Sept. 28, in Mote's WAVE Center, 1600 Ken Thompson Parkway on City Island, Sarasota.
This public event is free. Please RSVP at: https://mote.org/events/details/youth-making-ripples-mini-film-screening-2016
This film competition, organized by Beneath the Waves, Inc., gives students in grades K-12 the chance to use their creative talents to give the oceans a voice.
Beneath the Waves, Inc., a global platform focusing on ocean conservation, education and discovery, works to raise awareness about marine issues, foster the advancement of science and promote the protection of our oceans.
The panel of science experts that will be speaking at the event are:
- Kim Bassos-Hull, Senior Biologist, Mote Marine Laboratory
- Dr. Lisa Hoopes, Nutritionist and Researcher, Georgia Aquarium
- Krystan Wilkinson, Graduate Student, Sarasota Dolphin Research Program

|Guard your heart
|22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
|23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
|24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
|25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
|26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
|27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
|28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
|73 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
|2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
|3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
|20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
|21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
|22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
|23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
|24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
|25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
|26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
|27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Ruined temple and step-well outside the village, Lakkundi 10031987
Photographer: Cousens, Henry
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1885
Photograph of a ruined temple and a step-well outside the village at Lakkundi, taken by Henry Cousens in the 1880s. Lakkundi is situated in the modern state of Karnataka. The town has a number of Hindu and Jain temples built in the Kalyani Chalukya style during the 11th-12th centuries. The most famous of these are the Jain Basti, the Kacivicvecvara and the Naganatha temples, however there are many more examples that are less well documented. In many ways the decoration of the temples of Lakkundi marks the apex of Chalukyan architecture. They have very elaborate and sharp ornamentation with deep mouldings. Elegant, thin pillars made on a lathe support exquisitely carved beams whilst doorways, heavily decorated with foliage and guardians, are commonplace.

>>but paranormal powers are not the same as a supernatural god, are
No -- I think not. The illustration is, at best, an analogy.
>>Furthermore, if I had absolutely no control over those powers, and they
were entirely capricious and unrepeatable, I would probably start
thinking that I lost my mind... That's always a possibility, you know?
Interesting. That might, indeed, be a possible hypothesis. But not the
only possible assumption, of course. I suspect that you (and I if it
happened to me) would consider other possibilities, and that's all I
meant by the illustration.
Interestingly enough, a few months after I had become a Christian, I went
through a period of self-analysis along this line. Had I been conned? Was
it "real?" This process continued for several weeks; it terminated when
the Lord (may I use that term?) provided me with the support I needed.

A Secret Affair. A Violent Crime. A Brutal Killer.
I think we've made our first misstep on the magical road to Guttenberg happiness.
And by "we", I of course mean me. Through the wonder that is eBay, I managed to track down a little VHS I like to call "The Bedroom Window".
You can see the drama right there on the case. A Secret Affair. A Violent Crime. A Brutal Killer.
What the box fails to mention is the crucial last bit. A Boring Film.
Now, it's exciting that once again Mr. Guttenberg takes centre stage with his top billing. Oh, he's certainly the star here.
His intense, booding stare tells us that this is going to be one incredible rollercoaster of a film.
The premise is a pretty good one: a woman is having an affair with her husband's employee. While at her boyfriend's house, she sees an attempted murder outside his bedroom window. To avoid giving away the affair, he reports the crime as if he'd seen it himself. Because his story isn't quite right, the police begin to suspect him as the murderer. How will he prove his innocence?
See? It sounds good, doesn't it?
Oh, but it all goes wrong. There are a lot of odd, intense, scary music cues that don't fit with the action on the screen. And all the actors speak with this tone of voice as if they're hiding something, making all the characters seem like they're lying, even if they're not. It's all very bizarre.
Now, I'll confess that I didn't exactly watch the whole thing. I got a bit bored, and besides, I had laundry to do. So I missed how the Elizabeth McGovern character (who was the victim of the crime seen through the famed Bedroom Window) got involved with Steve-o. But they, of course, become romantically involved after the boss's wife gets sadly killed.
Okay, it's not about the plot. It's about the miscasting of Steve Guttenberg in a dramatic role.
The Gütt has a delightful, low key on screen presence. Do I want to see him taking care of an unexpected baby? You bet I do. Do I want to see him interacting with a robot who has come to life? I wouldn't miss it. Do I want to see him transforming himself from an overweight cartoonist into a leather clad Kiwi named Lobo? Just try and keep me away.
Do I want to see him being intense and broody and running for his life? Um, no.
So, nice try Mr. Guttenberg. But it's just not working for me. Better luck next time.

09.06.13 - 14.06.13, Seminar 13241
Virtual Realities
The following text appeared on our web pages prior to the seminar, and was included as part of the invitation.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a multidisciplinary area of research aimed at interactive human computer mediated simulations of artificial environments. An important aspect of VR-based systems is the stimulation of the human senses - usually sight, sound, and touch - such that a user feels a sense of presence (or immersion) in the virtual environment. Different applications require different levels of presence, with corresponding levels of realism, sensory immersion, and interactive fidelity. Sometimes it is important to combine real and virtual objects in the same real or virtual environment. This approach is often referred to as Augmented Reality (AR), when certain virtual objects are integrated into a real environment. Typical VR applications include simulation, training, scientific visualization, and entertainment, whereas typical AR applications include computer-aided manufacturing or maintenance, and computer-aided surgery or medicine.
In the organization of this seminar we intend to experiment with varying formats of the sessions including the standard talk-and-discussion format, grand-challenge-discussions involving the whole group and parallel breakout discussions devoted to particular subjects. For this meeting we plan to solicit in advance ideas for breakout sessions and research areas for talk/discussion clusters. It is planned to publish a proceedings volume similar to the book Virtual Realities published by Springer in 2011.
Important topics to be discussed include:
- Multi-modal systems: The development of appropriate multi-modal devices (projection walls, head mounted displays, data gloves, force feedback arms, spatialized audio, etc.) in order to deliver multi-modal signals into the human sensory system is a basic aspect of VR technology. The fidelity and degree of immersion of these systems is a crucial factor in any user-perceived sense of presence.
- 3D interaction: For a sense of presence to be sustained, it is necessary that the objects of the virtual world appropriately react to the actions of the user. Some primary challenges in this context include the real-time tracking of the user's movements, and the design of intuitive devices for the user to control the virtual environment. In particular, many problems remain in the realization of VR systems that simultaneously support multiple users.
- Presence, Telepresence and Tele-existence: The understanding of different aspects of presence and the appropriate technical means to induce this experience remains a hot topic in VR. As an example it has recently been suggested that presence should really be considered in two parts: a place illusion (a sense of being in a place) and a plausibility illusion (a sense that something is really happening). These theoretical constructs also apply for telepresence and teleexistence in terms of how much real people perceive the presence of a remote virtual participant, and how the remote participant perceives a sense of presence with the real people.
- Virtual humans: Autonomous avatars are now becoming practical, offering the promise of a controlled human dimension to applications such as education, training, and entertainment. As such researchers are now in a position to explore fundamental questions related to virtual humans.

funny programming terms that we share in workplace
I have maintained a list. Please feel free add.
It mean cheap-less code but it works well.
Impressive code that was written in very short time.
Things are properly understandable.
Quantum bug
The bug that fails to occur when trying to observe it (ie tracing through code a line at a time).
Code Monkey
An insulting term to describe a poor programmer, usually who does not grasp basic or common programming concepts, and sometimes whose best coding capabilities can be described as "GoogleCut&Paste".
Ghost Bug.
Referring to a bug that cannot be reproduced in controllable conditions, a bug that seams to have appeared but no one is sure about it. A bug that requires voodoo for fixing. A bug
that drives a developer to think that a mutex should be used in a single threaded app.
The process of taking code and refactoring it without consequence to make it do what management demands that the code do.
Faith based programming
When "Jimmy", instead of using a more.. "scientific" approach to problem solving, just randomly delete, comment or rename a variable/line of code and prays for it for compile/runs.
Pixie Dust
A "tool" used by developers to "magically" fix certain issues via abnormal/illogical/unexplained means. (coined by the leader of our support team) When an issue completely baffles the
development team we are "out of pixie dust".
A**hole Features
Features that are thought of during release planning that add little to no actual value to the software.
To use Agile methodologies and have people totally screwing it up.
Hi-driven development
When you debug your program by writing alert('Hi') statements in a trial-and-error fashion
Disaster Driven Development
When Your PMs and salesmen promised that You will build "space shuttle" in one month.
Hope Driven Development
A software development technique in which an application is developed in a long unplanned development cycle, with minimal "Steve Irwin-style testing", all with the hope that
everything will work as intended when released.
Different kinds of bug reports:
Smug Report - a bug submitted by a user who thinks he knows a lot more about the system's design than he really does. Filled with irrelevant technical details and one or more suggestions (always
wrong) about what he thinks is causing the problem and how we should fix it.
Drug Report - a report so utterly incomprehensible that whoever submitted it must have been smoking crack. The lesser version is a chug report, where the submitter is thought to have had one too many.
Shrug Report - a bug report with no error message or repro steps and only a vague description of the problem. Usually contains the phrase "doesn't work."
The process of taking a well-designed piece of code and, through a series of small, reversible changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone except yourself.
Can't take credit for this, but it is awesome!
A computer bug that disappears or alters its characteristics when an attempt is made to study it.
A catastrophic data destroying bug - "Oh the humanity!"
A bug you present when presented with a bug caused by the person presenting the bug
A bug that accidentally generates money (just did this one)
Fear Driven Development
When project management adds more pressure (fires someone or something).
Common Law Feature
A bug in the application that has existed so long that it is now part of the expected functionality, and user support is required to actually fix it.
Hydra Code
Code that cannot be fixed. One fix causes two new bugs.It should be rewritten.
A prototype that ends up in production.
Ninja comments
Also known as invisible comments, secret comments, or no comments.
Chunky salsa
Based on the chunky salsa rule, a single critical error or bug that renders an entire system unusable, especially in a production environment.
Sometimes, you just have to talk a problem out. I used to go to my boss and talk about something and he'd listen and then I'd just answer my own question and walk out without him saying a thing.
I read about someone that put a rubber duck on their monitor so they could talk to it, so rubberducking is talking your way through a problem.
"Hey, I'll put all of our customers into a Word document and then we can X." "No, we should do that database-ically so that we can keep that list up to date."
Hooker Code
Code that is problematic and causes application instability (application "goes down" often).

|WELCOME TO A.B.A.T.E. of KANSAS DISTRICT 7 WEBSITE
The following is taken from ABATE of NY newsletter.
As each year passes, freedom of the road becomes constricted a little more. There are so many things that ABATE of Kansas and all the other Motorcycle Rights Groups work on to keep the motorcycling lifestyle from being restricted right off the road.
We are a Grassroots organization. We believe the Federal Government should stop over legislating our State so our elected officials can do their jobs. We believe that sharing our point of view to those that do not understand motorcycling will help the Legislative Representatives make more informed decisions. We also believe that educating the public on sharing the road with motorcycles will save lives.
We need you and motorcycling needs us. If you are interested in motorcycling please browse through our site.

WASHINGTON, May 8 (-- Researchers from Denmark, the U.S. and China said Thursday they may have found the reason why polar bears can consume a fatty diet without developing high rates of heart disease like humans.
After a thorough genetic analysis of polar bears, the researchers found changes in several genes involved in cardiovascular function and fatty acid metabolism may protect the animals from the ill effects of a high-fat diet, mainly consisting of seals and their blubber.
One such gene, called APOB, is known to play a role in moving cholesterol from the bloodstream into cells, thus reducing the risk of heart disease, they reported in the U.S. journal Cell.
The researchers also compared the genome of polar bears to that of their closest cousins, brown bears, and found the polar bear is a much younger species than previously believed, having diverged from brown bears less than 500,000 years ago.
Previous estimates of the divergence time between polar bears and brown bears ranged from 600,000 to 5 million years ago.
"It's really surprising that the divergence time is so short," said senior study author Rasmus Nielsen of the University of California, Berkeley.
"In this limited amount of time, polar bears became uniquely adapted to the extremities of life out on the Arctic sea ice, enabling them to inhabit some of the world's harshest climates and most inhospitable conditions," he said.
What drove the evolution of polar bears is unclear, though the split from brown bears coincides with a particularly warm 50,000- year interglacial period that could encourage brown bears to extend their range much farther north, the researchers said.
When the warm interlude ended and a glacial cold period set in, a pocket of brown bears may have become isolated and forced to adapt rapidly to new conditions. As a result, up to half of the body weight of polar bears now consists of fat, and their blood cholesterol levels are high enough to cause cardiovascular disease in humans.
"The life of a polar bear revolves around fat," said Eline Lorenzen, one of the lead authors at the University of California, Berkeley.
"Nursing cubs rely on milk that can be up to 30 percent fat and adults eat primarily blubber of marine mammal prey. Polar bears have large fat deposits under their skin and, because they essentially live in a polar desert and don't have access to fresh water for most of the year, rely on metabolic water, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of fat."
The analysis in the study included blood and tissue samples from 79 Greenlandic polar bears and 10 brown bears from Sweden, Finland, Glacier National Park in Alaska and the Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichagof (ABC) Islands off the Alaskan coast.
The study also involved Danish researchers, led by Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, who provided polar bear blood and tissue samples and researchers at BGI-Shenzhen, China, including Shiping Liu, Guojie Zhang and Jun Wang, who sequenced the genomes and analyzed the data together with Lorenzen and Nielsen.
"The evolution history of polar bear demonstrated how quickly an organism could adapt to the evolutionary challenges," said Jun Wang. "With genomic data released for more species, we hope to reveal a more complete picture of how animals adapt to environment and how biodiversity forms."

Everyone loves a good rooftop. But rooftops in the city come with some caveats - big crowds, overpriced cocktails, patio furniture that looks like it came out of an old SkyMall catalog. To help you find some spots in the sky actually worth hanging out on this summer, we put together the first, highly official Rooftop Power Rankings section of the Infatuation Summer Guide, featuring 15 of of our favorite rooftops. It's very scientific, we promise.
To check out the rest of the 2016 Summer Guide, click here.
The Spots
The Ides At The Wythe Hotel
There is no better place to catch a skyline sunset than at the Ides, the rooftop bar of the Wythe hotel in Williamsburg.
Rooftop Power Points: Unbeatable views of Manhattan skyline, central Williamsburg location with endless pre/post eating & drinking options, and a friendly crowd (i.e. the possibility of actually meeting people).
Penalties: Shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at peak times, not a lot of love for big groups (though they accept reservations for large parties), limited small plates menu.
Azul at Hotel Hugo
This hotel on the far western edge of Soho has two rooftop bars, but the one you want to be at is the vaguely Cuban-themed Azul.
Rooftop Power Points: Hudson River views, bright colors, and a general aesthetic that's a little less boring than your standard Pier 1 Imports-style hotel rooftop.
Penalties: A limited food menu with overpriced tacos.
Mr. Purple
On the top of the Indigo Hotel on the Lower East Side, Mr. Purple is a restaurant and bar with two outdoor terraces and - if you're feeling especially ambitious - a small pool.
Rooftop Power Points: Plenty of space, views all the way down and up Manhattan, lots of bar bites + a full brunch menu, and a well-designed space that's much less cheesy than most hotel roofs.
Penalties: A tough door at peak times - come with a small group, or expect to be asked to buy a table.
Gallow Green
Despite being located above the place where "Sleep No More" goes down, there isn't any haunted house schtick here - just a highly pleasant, greenery-covered rooftop.
Rooftop Power Points: A festive brunch setup (live music, punch bowls, open buffet), creative cocktails, and secret garden vibes.
Penalties: Prices to match the fact that this place is above Sleep No More.
Northern Territory
This Greenpoint restaurant has a big rooftop bar that's one of the best places to hang outside in North Brooklyn.
Rooftop Power Points: Awesome views of Manhattan, plenty of space for your crew of 15, and enough food to properly soak up your day drinking damage .
Penalties: A not-quite-convenient location for anyone taking subways from Manhattan (the L to the G isn't so bad, we promise).
Roof at Park South Hotel
Located on the roof of the hotel that also houses O Ya and Covina with covered areas, a fireplace, and plenty of dif, this is easily the best place to rooftop drink in the 20s.
Rooftop Power Points: Solid small bites and good cocktails, a variety of seating options, a fireplace.
Penalties: You're definitely going to be next to some digital marketing agency's Happy Hour.
Blue Ribbon Beer Garden
The Blue Ribbon people tend to nail it in whatever they do - and that continues to be the case with their very laid back Lower East Side rooftop beer garden.
Rooftop Power Points: Plenty of space, not-outrageous prices on food and beer, plus board games and ping pong tables.
Penalties: Low-floor location looking over not-exactly-beautiful Allen Street, 10pm closing time.
Pod 39 Rooftop Bar
A surprisingly not-cheesy rooftop in the affordable Pod 39 Hotel near Grand Central - it's the same hotel that houses Salvation Taco on the ground floor.
Rooftop Power Points: Surprisingly interesting architecture (check out those arches), good cocktails, refuge from the neighborhood's million sports bars.
Penalties: Occasional waits to get in and somewhat limited seating.
The Rooftop At The Jane
Formerly a private space, The Jane roof recently opened to the public, and you can now get in without a reservation. Unlike most sleek, soulless hotel roofs, this bar and deck are full of highly ornate but awesome decor.
Rooftop Power Points: Great West Village location, and an abundance of Persian rugs and other personality-infusing elements.
Penalties: Limited hours - they're only open Thursday-Sunday (until 10pm Th/F/Sat, until 12am Sun).
Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar
This Battery Park rooftop bar's claim to fame is that they serve popsicles in glasses of prosecco.
Rooftop Power Points: Views of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty, the option to drink a prosecco with a popsicle in it.
Penalties: Being surrounded by people who came to Instagram a prosecco with a popsicle in it, extremely close proximity to Goldman Sachs.
The Press Lounge
On the far, far West Side, you may not find yourself around here unless you see a show at Terminal 5, but this hotel rooftop has plenty of space, plus some of the best nighttime views of Midtown.
Rooftop Power Points: Truly A+ views of the city, open late on weekends.
Penalties: Expensive drinks, possible waits, a location your friends will probably complain about.
JIMMY at The James
Located in a trendy hotel in a prime Soho location, Jimmy is predictably a scene - but a fun one.
Rooftop Power Points: Unique views all around, a pool, pretty people, that ideal rooftop height where you're just high enough to feel like you're on a roof but not so high that it's cold and windy.
Penalties: You'll probably have an annoying time getting in at peak times.
Refinery Rooftop
Need a decent place near Bryant Park/your Midtown office? Refinery is a reliable move, but definitely make a reservation if you're with a sizeable group.
Rooftop Power Points: Big uncovered and covered space.
Penalties: On a nice night, you're going to have to compete with half of Midtown to get on this roof.
Spyglass Rooftop
Can't get onto the Refinery Rooftop? A few steps East on W 38th is Spyglass, a surprisingly well-designed, albeit pretty small alternative.
Rooftop Power Points: Excellent views of the Empire State Building.
Penalties: The small space feels very cramped, and you might run into issues getting in during busy times.
Hotel Chantelle
Despite its name, Hotel Chantelle is in fact not a hotel rooftop. It is, however, a place you've definitely partied if you spend time on the Lower East Side.
Rooftop Power Points: A vaguely French garden vibe that's a bit different, fun brunch-time action.
Penalties: No views, the just-turned-21 summer internship crowd.

Cleveland Range Ltd., a manufacturer and exporter of commercial cooking equipment in Concord, Ont., had been losing between $10,000 and $20,000 from theft of company property such as tools, supplies, scrap metal and wood by January 2007. It had a company rule that stipulated theft or attempted theft of company property is grounds for "immediate discharge." New employees receive a copy of the rules as part of their orientation. In addition, it sent a letter to each employee saying anyone caught stealing would face "disciplinary action including termination" and criminal charges would be laid. A 50-year-old employee worked as a stock receiver, often without supervision due to the size of the warehouse. He had no problems for almost two years he spent employed with Cleveland Range. Part of his job was to build skids with two-by-four boards the company bought in large amounts. The boards were stamped with a code that allowed Cleveland Range and the supplier to trace them if needed. The company also had a large container at the warehouse for recycling scrap lumber.

Thank you for purchasing the Hawaiian Ormus. Here is a page to answer any questions you might have. What Are Ormus Minerals? Ormus are essential minerals abundantly found in seawater. Researcher, David Hudson, rediscovered these essential elements by accident. After extensive testing and observation, these minerals showed fantastic and mystical behaviors detectable in not only plants, but also the human body and the mind. How Do Ormus Minerals and Nature Inter-relate? These distinct substances also seem to be intimately woven into the fabric of living things. They appear to be associated with what causes everything to "live." Where Do Ormus Minerals Come From? Experiments show that Ormus is most abundant in the sea. Not so strange when you consider that sea water covers 70% of the earth's surface. What to Expect While Taking Ormus Minerals? Lots of people are talking about more energy, Are Ormus Minerals Natural or Organic? Hawaiian Ormus is made from the purest essence of the Pacific Ocean gathered off the pristine shores of the Hawaiian Islands. What Do Ormus Mineral Materials Reveal? ORMUS Materials contain MONATOMIC RHODIUM AND IRIDIUM What is Ormus? Ormus has been shown to do the following: Deeply Nourishes cells, Keeps Cells Hydrated. Use for: Cell Rejuvenation, Promotion of Cellular, Regeneration, Promotion of Cellular Communication, Healthy DNA & RNA Support. Shown to: Repair tissues, Bring Relief from muscle and joint pain, Reduce fatigue, Give Increased energy, Anti-aging support, Longevity, Enhanced Immune System Function, Essential minerals, vitamins, & amino acids replenished, Increased Electrolytes. __________________________________________________ Storage of your Ormus Ormus should be stored away from direct sunlight. - Ormus must be stored away from electrical and magnetic fields. - Do not store Ormus in the kitchen as there is an abundance of electric motors in kitchens. - It is preferred that it be stored in the dark, in a bedroom or bathroom. - Microwave ovens generate enormous electro-magnetic fields and should be eliminated anyway. - If you live close to high tension electric transmission lines( within 500 feet) the Ormus bottle should be wrapped in at least three layers of aluminum foil and stored in a metal box, the thicker the better. - Keep Ormus away from cellphones or portable phone base stations. - If you dilute the Ormus, please store it in a dark color glass bottle. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you have ordered the 1 gallon bottle of Ormus, you may notice some fine black "specks". Please note this is a gallon of 100% pure raw Ormus extract. Although extreme care is taken at harvest, including using a fine stainless steel mesh strainer, and other techniques, any mass production of Ormus always contains these unknown "black specs". This is a natural part of the manufacturing process. They are harmless if injested, however you may filter the Ormus through a coffee filter if you like your Ormus super clean. Thank you once again for your purchase and have a great day! Scott www.mightyz.com

Today we spent the morning finally installing shelves at the South End Hearth building! Well, actually, Bill Kehlenbeck expertly installed shelves, and troubleshooted for us, and was generally amazing. Thank you, Bill!
We helped as best as we could, and we will continue to help as best as we can tomorrow. In the meantime, a group of kids finished up some beautiful art on the roofdeck of Hearth and hung out with some residents. One resident, Barbara, even got a friendship bracelet from our girls and shared some stories with us about her life! It was wonderful.
Even the boys got into making friendship bracelets:
And some of the girls kept working on their crayon melting art
Then we had our lunch on the bus and turned the kids loose in Stop & Shop to get all the ingredients we needed to make dinner for 40 of the Hearth residents to take to their rooms. Hearth only provides lunch 4 days a week, and the residents have to cook their own dinner or fend for themselves, so a packaged dinner was a welcome treat for them.
We made baked chicken, cheddar mashed potatoes, green beans, garlic bread, fruit salad, and delicious brownies. Then we packaged them into individual serving sizes and wrote nice notes on the lids, then passed them out to the residents.
The best part was seeing how happy and grateful the residents were, as well as how surprised they were that a group of kids made such a gourmet meal! Eating the extra brownie batter was a pretty good part, too.
Tomorrow is the last day! We can't believe it. Hopefully the rain will hold off so we can have a nice closing gathering in Hearth's beautiful backyard in JP…
We are never done serving,
Comm serve camp!

This week's collection of pictures were all published in the County Times in 1975 and 1976 – but were taken many, many years earlier.
The County Times has published thousands of old photos over the years but this one of the town postman must be one of the oldest. It was taken in 1850 and was first published in 1975 after being loaned to the paper by Mr H Taylor.
A week after it was published, Mrs Winifred Harvey pointed out that it had been taken outside No 9 Carfax – where she was born – by Thomas Honywood.
Mr Honywood was an archaeologist and Captain of Horsham's Volunteer Fire Brigade. He is also believed to have introduced photography to the town – rather a remarkable man.
Mrs Harvey wrote: "I was born there in 1896 when Coole and Haddock had the premises.
"My father, the late Frank Charman, was clerk with the firm and occupied rooms at the rear and above the offices.
"When the building was demolished in the 1930s, Chart and Lawrence extended their showrooms on the site."
Not far from Mrs Harvey's birth place was the old Stout House which, of course, still stands today. In 1975, Cecil Cramp carefully repaired a picture taken in 1903, which showed five men outside the pub.
Mr Cramp had no idea who the men were, which was unfortunate as he was the acknowledged expert on bygone Horsham. He compiled the largest existing collection of historical postcards, films and slides mapping Horsham's history.
Mr Cramp ran Horsham family business Jury Cramp's Jewellers and Opticians in West Street until its closure in 1985.
Jury Cramp's was set up by his grandfather in 1872 and became a landmark in the town with an iconic large pair of spectacles staring into the town centre from outside the shop.
Mr Cramp died in 2007, aged 91.
Over in West Street was G Hosking and Sons, a family run butcher's.
Pictured outside the shop in 1925 are George Hosking, second from left, his son Jack, second from right, with Ernest Burchell on the extreme left and Mr Grace on the right.
The picture was loaned to the County Times in 1975, courtesy of his daughter, Grace Hosking.
George Hosking owned Needles Farm, where he did all his own slaughtering. The Horsham Silver Band once practiced in what used to be his slaughterhouse. The area was developed for housing in the 1960s and 1970s.
Jack Hosking died at the tragically young age of 25, four years after the picture was taken.
After Jack's death, the family moved to Chichester, and the Co-op moved into the Hosking premises.
George returned in 1935, setting up shop in Queen Street. He retired in 1947 and moved to Selsey.
The West Street shop changed numbers from 29 to 27 and was later taken over by Dorothy Perkins. No 27 West Street is now occupied by Greggs.
Our final picture was taken some time before 1976 and shows what is affectionately known as Potters Corner.
Near the corner of Springfield Road and London Road stood Jackson's garage but right on the apex – where the Sussex Lighting building now stands – was a shop and house kept by Mrs Ada Potter.
Mrs Potter was rather good at making ice cream and became know as Mum Pott by the gaggles of children who swarmed into her shop to buy the tasty treat.
One of those children was George Jackson, whose father and many uncles, founded the garage. In 1976, Mr Jackson shared his memories of Mum Pott and his family's garage.
Jackson Bros started life by trading in bicycles, then motorcycles, then cars. As the business expanded, Mr Jackson senior sought further land for establishing a service station on the other side of Springfield Road.
He bought the site from Jimmy Rice, whose name continued with the firm, which became the town's main Ford dealership.
George Jackson shared a tale about a wag who, on passing the new Jackson's site, suggested that was to be a factory producing nappies for baby Austins.
While some were not happy about the multi-storey building which took the place of the garage and shop, Mr Jackson thought it made a rather pleasant feature for people heading into the town centre.
He did add, with a touch of nostalgia: "But that corner brings back memories of lovely ice cream made by Mum Pott."
Do you have any old photos you would like to share? They can be sent to West Sussex County Times, Springfield House, Springfield Road, Horsham RH12 2RG or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com .

Tommy Thompson Park Sunset Kayaking Tour
Date and times: Friday August 23rd, 7:00 PM
Location: Cherry Beach to Tommy Thompson Park and back
Duration: 3 hours
Located on Toronto's waterfront in the Port Lands, Tommy Thompson Park is a unique urban wilderness minutes from downtown.
One of the most interesting characteristics of Tommy Thompson Park is that the park is located on an entirely man-made peninsula known as the Leslie Street Spit, which extends approximately five kilometres into Lake Ontario.
The park represents some of the largest existing natural habitat on the Toronto waterfront. Wildflower meadows, cottonwood forests, coastal marshes, cobble beaches and sand dunes are just some of the habitats at Tommy Thompson Park.
Wildlife, especially birds, flourish at the park, which provides one of the best nature watching areas in the Greater Toronto Area.
This is a great paddle for those looking to get out and explore the city from a different vantage point! This trip is designed to help newer paddlers improve their paddling skills and to enable them to get out and explore local waterways on their own with confidence. Lead by a certified kayak instructor from The Complete Paddler and a Toronto Region and Conservation Authority Park Interpreter makes this tour very educational as well as beautiful.
After meeting at Cherry Beach (TTC accessible) we will have an orientation and go over safety procedures. We will then embark on a relaxing paddle over to TTP, slowing down for photos of the sunset and the city skyline. The tour will include stops along the western shore of this urban wilderness, where we'll learn about the park's history, wildlife and admire the incredible views. The return paddle will be at dusk with kayak lights and the city lighting our way home.
This tour is beginner friendly and suitable for all ages. An average fitness level is highly recommended. This trip is lead by certified instructors and all equipment is provided by The Complete Paddler. Kids under 14 must be accompanied by a guardian. The only gear you need to bring is warm clothing.

Turmeric has long been used to treat a variety of illnesses and studies show it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti tumor properties.
Scientists believe that cur-cumin, an extract from turmeric root, could have powerful anti-cancer properties.
A number of laboratory studies on cancer cells have shown that curcumin does have anticancer effects.
It seems to be able to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing.
It has the best effects on breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach cancer and skin cancer cells.
A 2007 American study that combined curcumin with chemotherapy to treat bowel cancer cells in a laboratory showed that the combined treatment killed more cancer cells than the chemotherapy alone.
Curcumin has the ability to modulate genetic activity and expression both by destroying cancer cells and by promoting healthy cell function.
It also promotes anti-angiogenesis, meaning it helps prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth.
As for its effect on molecular pathways, curcumin can affect more than 100 of them, once it gets into the cell.

Scottish songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Shona Maquire has been skirting around the exciting outer edges of electronic pop since 2006 under the guise of her alter-ego Plum.
Drawing on the altruistic electronica of Fever Ray and the aching beauty of early LAMB, her music has grown from its shy folktronica beginnings into fully fledged synth-pop alchemy.
Samplers, synths, keyboards, bass and guitar collide as Plum harvests the fruits of new technologies and blends them with her sweet musical craft.
After studying music production at London's Point Blank Music College, she's released two acclaimed albums and is now currently working on her third, Betsy Thunder (Part 1 has already been released as an EP).
Last year she became the first female solo artist to win a Scottish Alternative Music Award in the Best Electronic Artist category – a fitting honour for an outspoken artist who isn't shy to speak openly about misogyny in the music industry.
We spent some time with Shona for our Women & Machines feature to pick her brains about what it's like to be a cutting edge female electronic artist in 2014 and learn how she's embraced changing production technologies.
When did you first get into electronic music?
I did work experience in a recording studio and they had really old school equipment, including reel to reel tape machines. It fascinated me. I loved pressing all the buttons and that got me into the technical side of things.
How old were you then?
I must've been about 15. I was writing on guitar at the time but it was all really ballady and I wanted to be more electronic. I realised I needed to learn how to do what I wanted.
So your relationship with technology goes back quite far…
Yep, I'm quite geeky. The need for me to be able to put forward my ideas was my main driver. I'm not very good with manuals so it was really important to learn practical skills. I went to Point Blank music production school in Hackney.
How accessible did you find it? Was it hands-on?
We got taught a lesson and then had practical time in the studio. There was always a technician on hand. The words in the manual aren't like the words in my head, so it took me a while to get used to what I needed to be saying. There's a lot of terminology to get your head around.
Did you find studio language presented a barrier to learning?
Very much so. All the equipment had been designed and manufactured from a studio perspective. New technology, like Ableton Live, is really intuitive. But programmes like Cubase, which I use for production, are still very much based on equipment you would have used in the studio. You have to plug things in as an insert, which is exactly how you would have to connect the wires in the studio.
So you think that the technology is becoming more inclusive and less specialist?
Yep, definitely. For example, Logic is designed for people without any studio experience.
Do you prefer working at home with your own equipment or do you like the studio environment?
I much prefer to be at home. I do nearly all of it at home.
Is there any piece of kit you really rely on?
The Waves plug-ins – they're pretty awesome.
Do you do it all inside the computer then?
Yes. I record the instruments and vocals straight into my soundcard and then I process everything inside my computer.
How has your sound adapted and changed since you started out?
When I started I didn't really know what genre of music I wanted to make so it took a while to get an idea of my style. I write a lot from the perspective of how I'm feeling so it's changed a lot in terms of where I am emotionally.
At first I was very shy and I made very quiet folktronica. Now it's a lot more heavy and synth-poppy. The beats are much different too, but that's probably come from me learning more about beat production.
How has the technology you use changed in that time?
I'm using more intuitive technology and you can do things a lot quicker now than on the older technology.
Are there any female producers or songwriters that have inspired you along the way?
Bjork definitely. She works with other producers but her ideas are very much at the forefront. I'm part of a collective called Female Pressure, which is a group of women producers from around the world, and I listen to a lot of their stuff. I manage their SoundCloud page. There are so many of them, making electronic music in so many different styles.
In terms of electronic production, it's a very male dominated area so a lot of the stuff that's influenced me has been male. But outside of that, PJ Harvey is incredible. I love her music. The way she approaches things is very creative.
You say that you find the electronic music world very male dominated. Has that ever bothered you or do you see it as part and parcel of being a female producer?
It's bothered me a lot over the years. I've had a lot of sound engineers who have been really sexist to me, speaking to my male friends and band mates instead of asking me directly what I want.
How do you overcome that?
Hahahaha, I'm a bit of diva! People need to know when they're being sexist because sometimes they're not really thinking about what they're saying.
Do you think it's got better since you started out?
Yes, I think it's getting better. I haven't been so bothered about it in the last year or so.
But every so often, you still encounter those old dinosaurs of the music industry. Old school managers tend to be a bit more sexist, and labels too. There's definitely ageism at play there. People have told me they wouldn't take female artists on who are over the age of 24. Yet I don't see that happening with male artists and bands.
The newer internet-savvy parts of the industry, such as managers and producers who are part of the YouTube generation, are a lot more open.
But part of the promoting of female artists is still based on sex appeal. For example, one of my old managers wanted me to dress in a leather cat suit, which really wasn't me!

Calculate cone surface area in two steps. Find its base's area, which is the same as a circle's area, then find the cone's slanted area. Use this trick to build the right sized dunce hat or figure out a street cone's surface area. Use this concept, and clever subtraction, to figure out a volcano's surface area.
Find cone base area using a circle's formula, which is (π)(r)(r). Find cone slanted area with this formula: (1/2)(s)(C). Add the results to get the total surface area.
Measure the cone's circumference with this formula: C = πd. C is circumference and d is its diameter. Measure the diameter, which is a line from the base's one side, through its center, to the opposite side.
Sciencing Video Vault
Calculate cone slant height from its top to its base's side. Use your slant height and circumference measurement to calculate cone slanted area. Use step one's formula, where "s" is the slant height, and C is the circumference.
Add your results for cone base area and cone slanted area to get the total cone surface area.
If you have a cone with no base, like a "dunce hat," don't add the base area. There are different ways to figure cone surface area out. The different formulas used are based on one concept. You add cone slanted area to cone base area. The area of a circle is (π)(r)(r). Surface area is (1/2)(s)(C). Total area is (π)(r)(r) + (1/2)(s)(C).

Back when the original Star Wars movies got a remastering for DVD in the mid-2000s, one of the things I wondered if they'd change or update was the lightsaber fight between Vader and Obi-Wan on the Death Star.
By that point, the prequels had firmly established a balletic lightsaber combat style that in comparison, made the original duel from 1977 look pretty dull.
The original has its own sort of tension, to be sure — but I still couldn't help but wonder what a version of that scene shot in the fighting style of the later movies (or even the higher intensity of Empire or Return of the Jedi) might look like.
Well, now someone's gone and made just that! Check out this fan film:
It feels much more like the Vader of any other movie Vader is in.
BONUS LINK: There are a million Star Wars fan films out there. I haven't seen the vast majority of them. But one that I have, and that I think is well done, is VADER: SHARDS OF THE PAST.
BONUS LINK 2: This is a pretty deep rabbit hole to fall down, but one Czech fan's passion project for years has been hand-reassembling a perfect version of the three original Star Wars movies.
Perfection is defined in this case as:
Petr "Harmy" Harmáček's quixotic quest to composite, remaster, and integrate scenes, shots, and even individual frames from various DVDs, laserdiscs, Blu-rays, film prints, deleted scenes, and the like has resulted in The Despecialized Edition.
(You can also read about it on Wikipedia.)
I am back from the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con & Comics Camp in Juneau, Alaska!
(I wrote about camp previously here and here).
It was a great time. But here is one very specific thing that was fun! Celebrated likeness-capturer Scott Campbell had the idea for a group of artists to break into groups and draw portraits of each other.
Here is Scott hard at work on some of them (with bonus Raina Telgemeier):
And here are a bunch of Scott's portraits, next to a bunch of other people's portraits of him:
I didn't have the presence of mind to take pictures of all the ones I drew. But here are the ones people drew of me! I love seeing all the different styles and perspectives. Click any image for a closer look.

…For reference, I actually look like this:
This weekend I'll be returning to the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con in Juneau!
On Friday night there's a variety show at the Mendenhall Valley Library, and I'll be part of it, doing a li'l slideshow.
Then, on Saturday, I'll be tabling at the convention at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center.
Then I'll be going off to Comics Camp for a few days!
Previous excursions to camp have yielded the following accounts: an examination of an 1886 article about camping, and the shocking true story of how Juneau ate my boots.
Not in Juneau? Near Huntington Beach instead? NO PROBLEM.
Later in May — the weekend of the 18th — I'll also be at the first-ever NCSFest (National Cartoonists Society Festival) in Huntington Beach!
At both locations I will have FRIENDSHIP APLENTY. It will be a good time!
