Just a reminder to all Bobos, dues can be paid annually at any time. This really shouldnt be a problem for you, even with the economic times as bad as they are. I am fully confident in our ability to be stupid, no matter how much money is involved. In case youre wondering, I renewed my membership today. So Im outside working in the garden and hear some buzzing above the table we have setup for the kids to eat snacks and also where I had their towels (they were playing in the pool). I looked up and saw a huge wasps nest in the holly tree directly above the table. So first I move the table and then I worry about the kids playing out there, so I go into Dad protector mode. I dont actually see any movement and its later in the day, so I decide Ill just chop off the branch its on and get rid of the whole thing. Mistake #1. 
The tree limb cutter didnt cut all the way through on the first try. So the branch kinda worbled and woke up the whole hive. Apparently it wasnt as late in the day as it should be. Mistake #2. So the buggers chased me across the yard and stung me three times I was yelling like a girl, as the situation warranted. As you can see by my picture, the clippers are still hanging in the tree branch that they failed to cut. When I got done whacking the ones on my shoulder and taking my shirt off, Alia asked me what happened. I said I was stung by a wasp. A: Whats a wasp? Me: Its kinda like a bee. A: Oh, a bumblebee. You must smell like a flower. So I called Jean, told her the whole story. Told her to buy some wasp spray. When she got home, I looked at the stuff - Hot Shot, With a 27 foot stream. Woo Baby!! Im taking full advantage of THAT. I unloaded 1/2 of the can on the damn thing, and then another 1/4 from the other direction (once things settled down). Now I have to wait 24 hours to take it away, as the wasps who werent there will come back to the nest and get their comeuppance.

Its been over two months since my last update and over 30 days since I changed my status. Let me explain how I'm making this post, and that will give you an idea of how busy and stressful life/work has become. As I write this, we're driving down I84, in northern Connecticut. I have a wireless Broadband adapter for my laptop, so that I always have Internet access when we travel. I took today off so that we could come back to Massachusetts for Easter. Supposed to be a vacation, but I answered email both Saturday and Sunday nights, as well as for the last 45 minutes in the car. I need to learn to start putting up a hard wall separating work and weekend, but I keep finding reasons to make it permeable. Were launching a new initiative on Wednesday and there were lots of little last minute things that needed to be dealt with. The flipside could have been not taking a vacation at all, so I guess this the compromise. Jeans driving, and Im about to see if I can do some programming, I just needed a break. Im feeling on more stable ground now. Just starting my 5th month. At least I feel like I have a better understanding of the picture that the puzzle pieces are trying to make. I still keep finding whole sections of it that were hidden under the bed by a devious child, but the cleanup on those items is coming along quicker each time. I havent kept up with LJ in weeks. So much so that when I read through my friends pages, I get to the end of what LJ shows me without having read all the new messages, and for that I apologize. I need to at least start reading it weekly if I cant get to it daily. My other daily reading has also suffered. When you find yourself 8 or 9 strips behind in OoTS, while its nice for continuity, it reminds you have long it has been. This car ride is making me sick.. need to take a break from this LCD and have a snack.

Last night I started choking on a piece of Kielbasa. My son sat on the floor next to me going Dad, what are you doing? as I proceeded to choke and see stars and fall to my knees. Of course I did the exact *wrong* thing, and put my fingers into my throat and attempted to dislodge the damn thing. I was successful, but only because it was actually a double piece that was connected by a length of skin. So I managed wedge my fingers next to it, hook the skin and pull it back out. Now I know Im not supposed to do that, and I even once knew about how to perform a Heimlich on myself.. Problem is, when youre choking, all that goes out the fing window. The Heimlich maneuver is one of the few methods by which a potentially life-threatening choking incident may be resolved, and its method should be learned by anyone who is in a position to potentially offer help to minors, seniors, or other individuals at potential choking risk.
However, when one is alone, the chance of successfully performing the procedure is dramatically decreased, because to perform the Heimlich upon one's self is generally awkward, especially when one may be suffering the preliminary or advanced effects of hypoxia, or oxygen deprivation.
One must, before conducting the procedure, be sure that it is absolutely necessary. While the signs of life-threatening choking may be somewhat ambiguous in others, one generally knows whether or not his or her airway is obstructed, but all the same some clarifications must be made.
Partial airway blockage is not cause for the Heimlich maneuver. If you can breathe at all, speak at all, or cough, you are not a candidate for the Heimlich maneuver. Coughing is a far more effective way of removing partial blockage of the trachea, and it will clear successfully virtually all such blockages. If one cannot cough because one cannot draw air, then the Heimlich maneuver may be necessary.
There are two ways to perform the Heimlich maneuver on one's self. The first method is much like those conducted on others. * Place your balled fists together, about two inches above the navel, but below the breastbone. Thrust forcefully upward and into your abdomen. Repeat until the blockage is cleared. This may be difficult, as the angle at which one must place one's arms in order to achieve this compression can be hard to reach, especially with the force required to dislodge a tracheal blockage. * If it is not cleared, one may alternatively lean over a chair or similar prop to attempt compression. Place yourself over a chest-high chair, and, if possible, force yourself upon it quickly and forcefully in an attempt to force out the blockage. This may, depending upon your strength and stature, be more or less effective than the traditional fisted method.
Many people find it difficult to perform the Heimlich maneuver upon ones self for much the same reason that it is difficult to slap, cut, or otherwise hurt one's self--the natural instinct against the self-infliction of pain. However, one must do what is possible to ensure that the necessary force is used, because consciousness will quickly fail in conditions of hypoxia, as with tracheal blockage. To fall unconscious in a room alone with a blocked air passage is, needless to say, unlikely to be resolved with a positive outcome.
Proper instruction in CPR technique and official certification may allow you further practice with the Heimlich maneuver as it is practiced both upon one's self and upon others. Seek out health and safety programs in your community for more information on certification and training courses designed to instruct the community in safety technique.

Alot has happened in the last month since my update. After giving my notice at work, I spent the next two weeks up to my eyebrows in 'last minutes' to get done before I left. This included things like site tours, documentation, purchases and installations.. We also interviewed several IT consulting companies who we felt could be used to fill in some of the gaps in my absence.
Then I had a few days off and we traveled to MA for Thanksgiving.
That was my final reprieve, as we returned on Saturday and I flew out to Downey, CA on Sunday.
So I'm laying here now on Tuesday night, and I'm hear for another 3 days. I'll be returning Friday night. I don't have a car this time, so there isn't alot I can do after I get done my work training. Granted, I didn't finish until almost 6 tonight anyway. Originally, I thought I might see who was around up in LA from my Ithaca days and maybe stop by and say hi for dinner or something, but that's not feasible without a car.
Luckily, on day one, I got a new mobile phone and laptop. So now that I've got it all configured, I'm actually paying for WIFI access in the hotel for the next 3 nights, and hence my ability to finally post.
I'll talk more about the job later, but I wanted to comment on the flight out.
The worst flight I've been on in 25 years. We got in the air 45 minutes late, but then the pilot told us we might be in for some rough weather and he was going to leave the seatbelt sign on. He wasn't exaggerating. He got on 3 more times to update us over the next hour. He apologized and said it was the worse he'd seen in years as well.
For an hour, we kept changing altitudes. 20k. 28k, 22k, 3ok. 25k. Trying to smooth things out. It didn't work. I haven't see a vomit bag used in 25 years, and I saw a dozen used on this flight. People would vocalized 'woahs' and 'ahs'. We were holding onto headrests and arm rests. I found myself locking my fingers under the tray table and standing on the balls of my feet trying to deal with the shifts and bounces. I felt myself straining against the seat belt several times as we dipped unexpectedly. I'm glad I had a seat belt on, or I'd likely have hit my head on the ceiling.
Wow. Don't make me go through that again please. At one point I thought, what a way to start a new job, dying in the mountains of western PA. When we arrived, we heard that we'd just missed being redirected to Ontario, CA because of the fog. Flights afterwards were, and that would have put me 50 miles from the hotel instead of 22.. The taxi at 22 miles cost my $64.. another employee got redirected and split the $130 cabfare with someone else. Heard later that there we delays all across the country. In LAX, outgoing flights were backed up several hours.
I'm so glad I didn't have to add on THAT to the end of a horrible flight.
Let's hope Friday's return is easier on the insides..
I know I haven't been sleeping well the last two nights.. Hoping staying up a bit and writing this will help me settle down... last night I was up at 3 and 5 and finally got out of bed and started my day at 6. Monday morning, I was up at 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I wanted to attribute that to the plane ride + first day jitters, but today was day too.. Am I still nervous? A good night sleep will prove otherwise.

Well today was the day. After being with my current company for 12 years, I've given my two weeks notice.
While ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) woodwindy was wondering if we were moving to her neck of the woods, we're not. We're staying where we are, *but* I will be working in Philadelphia, so I guess that's technically close enough.
This is the best thing for my family right now. I'm moving to a much larger company, and with that comes stability. The economy has really hurt my current employer (a real estate developer), and we've seen several years of decreased cash flow. This has affected our annual reviews, our year end bonuses, and our profit sharing. We've also had a round of layoffs starting last year (which incidentally coincides to exactly when I started getting serious about looking for another job, and then another just two weeks ago.
So while their future doesn't look so bright right now, I think the future for me is much better. I'll be receiving an increased salary and be part of an executive team for the first time. Sure, I may wind up working harder, but there will be benefits from that hard work. This change once again opens the possibility of a larger family, or a larger house - just two of the things I thought I had put behind me forever in the current economy.
Who knows where the future will take us, but today is about change. Certainly not on the same level as the Presidential change and the change in our country, but to me, change that is much more important.

Why do these kinds of things always show up around Halloween? It's gotta be the urban legends' favorite day. Can you imagine spending that kind of money on a commercial and then not airing it? Found this via Dvorak.org, and figured I might as well share it with you.. because it's time for a spooky day story... I'm just going to copy/paste the whole thing to save me the time of explaining it. (obviously this is a slightly modified version of the original since it's no longer an email attachment) Its the time of year to revisit the Ghostly Car Ad!
 A creepy video is going around the net with this note attached: READ THE STORY FIRST BEFORE YOU OPEN THE ATTACHMENT >> Strange but interesting. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. >> When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot. The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. >> Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and youll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road.Spooky! >> Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide. >> If you listen to the ad, youll even hear the cameraman whispering in the background about it near the end of the commercial. So turn up the sound! A little creepy but pretty cool!

..I always vote against. ~W.C. Fields So I voted today. All done. Gloucester County has early voting as of a a few weeks ago. At the Deptford Mall, they have a County Office (near Boscov's). So it's really easy to head into the mall, vote, and get out of there. Early voting is up throughout the country, with a prediction of as much as 30% of the votes being early cast this year (as compared to 14% in 2000). Early voting is a great way to get a chance on a vote that fits your schedule, rather than trying to make it fit into a single designated day. You might want to look into it in your area.

 I'm driving home yesterday, and what do I spy by a Google Street View car heading down the A.C. Expressway. Now, I recognized it from the back almost immediately, because I'd read about/seen pictures of what the camera device looks like on top (slightly different versions do exist).
Right now, the Southern NJ area is totally missing Street View options, but it looks like that is about to change. As you can see from this quick regional picture, anything outside of Philadelphia/NY is totally devoid of street view data. 
So what did I do? I made sure to follow the car ALL THE WAY TO PHILADELPHIA (ok, so yesterday was the official CAPS LOCK DAY, but gimme a break). I passed it and drove on both sides of it. I noticed the computer inside, with a flat screen monitor positioned facing the driver, a Google sign on the side of the car, and California license plates. So hopefully when the images are posted, anyone using the street view will see me driving my car the whole way. Google Street View has captured lots of unique and mundane images, raised the ire of privacy advocates, and even spawned photo scavenger hunts. I'm not worried about the privacy issues, and to be honest, if GM catches you picking your nose as you walk down the street, you deserve to be laughed at. Anyway, there's my brush with technology and digital legacy. Now Playing: Seven Nations - Seven Nations - Scream

I got married 7 years ago. On that day, I put my wedding ring on. I haven't taken it off, with very few exceptions (notably dropping a dresser on my hand while moving - and having  the ring stop the dresser from breaking my finger against the stairs ~~ very The Abyss). Now, I've been without it for 3 days and I keep thumbing the empty spot and wondering what's missing. My ring is very similar to the picture, with black enamel between all the knots. Consequently, the enameling between the knots is kind of worn, and actually has come off in a few places. Jean's ring has always been a tight fit. When the kids were born, she stopped being able to wear it at all. So she's been 'naked' for over 3 years. This weekend, we went to a FSMom hayride in DE, and decided to head down early and stop in at Robbin's Delaware Diamonds, where we got the rings, and have both of those things taken of. We had to get hers resized from 6 to 6.5. The stretching wouldn't have been too big a deal, except that it also breaks the enamel. So they took both of our rings and sent them off for an estimate. 1 resizing, and 2 reenameling. Could take a few weeks, but we think that the total cost may be less than $75 - money well spent. Jean is looking forward to being able to wear her ring again more than I am to make mine look nice, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to do both. I'm thinking about hitting some singles bars this week to try out my new found freedom... Now Playing: Cammy Blackstone and Leo Laporte - Munchcast October 2008 - Munchcast 47: Stone Soup

I'm all about the tech recently, so here's the latest show to catch my attention. Debuting last night on the Discovery Channel, is a new show called Prototype This. The basic theme of Prototype This is that the four hosts, Terry Sandin, Zoz Brooks, Mike North, and Joe Grand take their combined skills and use each episode to conceive of and craft some entirely new design, product, or technology. The end result? A full season of prototypes that are off-the-wall, entirely practical, and everything in between. If you have Discovery, great. If not, if you want to view some episodes on your own time, check out their website where you can watch videos and full episodes. They need to build up their Full Episode list, as right now it's only Jon & Kate Plus 8, Prototype This and It's Me or the Dog -- but they have PT, which is obviously my point to this whole entry. Alot of the clips will still keep you busy for hours though, as there are several exclusive clips for web viewers up there for all the Discovery, TLC and Animal Planet shows, including one of my favorites Dirty Jobs, which recently started its 5th season.

Midnight Madness (1980) For a while now, I've been planning on developing a road rally/puzzle rally for my friends and extended friends. Finally, I'm pulling it together. There are a couple of different kinds of road rallies. They go by different names and variations, but these are the core ideas One is known as a TSD (time/speed/distance). In this kind of rally, a team (typically two people -a driver and a navigator) is given a set of route directions to follow, and the speeds at which they should travel the route. The route will generally consist of rural and quieter back roads. The goal of a TSD Road Rally is to travel the correct route at the correct speeds, and arrive at "checkpoints'" precisely on time. You are scored on how closely to the correct time you arrive. A Road Rally is not a race, and no rally will ever require you to drive in a reckless or illegal fashion. Arriving too early at a checkpoint hurts your score, as does arriving too late. The second is a puzzle rally. In this case, a team is given a set of clues and puzzles which will lead them from one location to another. At each location they must answer questions to earn points and then end in a final destination. This kind of rally can easily be explained by this clip from Midnight Madness. More details can be found at nayrium.com. Their second video link isn't working correctly, so I've copied both videos here for review. Explanation:
This text will be replaced
Example clue solving:
This text will be replaced
My plan is to combine the best of both. I'm going to have puzzles as well as driving clues. When I was about 10 years old, my mom used to participate in, and design road rallys, that were hybrids as well. I was always too young to participate (as they wound up at bars in the end), but I've always wanted to do it myself. My rally will be family friendly. The end location will be a place we can all hang out at and enjoy ourselves and eat and drink. I'll need to pick a weekend that is free from SCA events and (hopefully) on an odd week to make it accessible to my law enforcement friends. This is the kind of thing where you enjoy the company of your team while you are solving. Enjoy the drive and the competition against the other teams. Then, kick back, relax, and tell stories of getting lost etc. at the restaurant. I'm going to design and put together the whole thing and then send out some invitations. I really hope to get a good group of folks together, as these are really alot of fun, so I encourage you to invite your friends along as well. I'll just need to get a final RSVP count of teams so I know how many packets to put together. My goal is have this ready by the end of the year, but we'll see how that fits into the schedule.

I just finished one of the best books I've read in the last 10 years. It's called Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.  I would've enjoyed the book on its face, but it's underlying themes really struck a chord with me. Little Brother is a scarily realistic adventure about how homeland security technology could be abused to wrongfully imprison innocent Americans. A teenage hacker-turned-hero pits himself against the government to fight for his basic freedoms. This book is action-packed with tales of courage, technology, and demonstrations of digital disobedience as the technophiles civil protest. We're living in a time where our personal freedoms are being slowly squeezed away in the name of protection. Each little thing slowly builds on the one before, creeping up on you. If you set aside the fact that the folk warning of the boiled frog is a myth, the anecdote still serves a purpose when examining our country in a post-9-11 world. The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out. The book does a great job of introducing the reader to modern technology items such as RFID, cryptography and pattern analysis. The narrator of the story takes the time to explain what they are and how they are used with very easy to understand examples - and that's key to appreciating how these technologies can be used for either good or bad.
{ The embedded preview object is not working with LJ. Go to my blog to read the full entry and listen to an excerpt of the audio book and a message from Cory regarding Free Usage }
I've had a time in my life when I was a hacker. Not nearly as experienced or in depth as I could have been, but I understand the culture - another reason this book appealed to me. But even today, I'm still interested in cryptography and ARGs. I've been on a LARP. You have several options for enjoying Little Brother. Besides the traditional print copy, you might enjoy the audio version (listen to an excerpt above), or even download a version to read for free. I can't say enough good things about the book. I was already recommending it before I was halfway through, and now that it's done, I wish I had more to read. Don't take my word for it. Read a review or two. I don't want to make this entry much longer full of their words, but I encourage you to see the impression it has made on others, sometimes even being called a modern day 1984. Whether it will have the same staying power 60 years from now that 1984 does, I can't say. What I can say is that it's an important reflection of today and where we could be tomorrow.

Before you watch this video, it may be NSFW as I chose the uncensored version (mild language). I feel it's important to hear people speak in their own words on important topics such as this.
These are very serious times we are living in, and everyone's voice deserves to be heard. Your voice. In many parts of the world, you wouldn't have a voice at all. But, as improbable as it seems, many Americans do not take their right to vote seriously, and often ignore it altogether. If you don't have 5 minutes to watch this piece here are some highlights:
1) You NEED to vote
2) You must be registered to vote, and there is a deadline which varies per state. Some deadlines are as soon as Oct. 4. You just can't show up on election day and be part of it. 3) If you haven't registered, check out http://maps.google.com/vote to get an interactive map.

Every day, the more I hear her speak, the more I realize how clueless she is and how she tries to turn every soundbite or question around into something she feel comfortable with.

Steve (thomas_delbroc</lj>), I was thinking of you last month when I learned about Bre Pettis and his DIY dream (I Make Things). dream. Your MacGyveresq exploits would put you and Bre in good company. I meant to tell you about his upcoming show on the History Channel, but totally forgot about it. That is, until I realized that the premiere episode is tonight. So I figured I'd remind all my friends at the same time, in case this is something that they are interested in. It airs tonight at 8PM. Here's what Bre has to say about his show, as well as a trailer for the series: My TV show pilot called History Hacker airs this upcoming Friday at 8PM and Midnight on the History Channel. Im the host of the show and I check out inventors in history and take a hands-on look at their inventions. I need your help to make the show go from a pilot to a real TV show. The pilot is all about Nikola Tesla and the war of the currents between Tesla and Edison. In the show I learn how to blow a neon tube, explore wireless electricity and build an AC generator from a bike. I also go to Boston to visit an MIT space lab to see how the principles that Tesla pioneered are being applied to space propulsion. The look of the show is awesome. The folks at History gave the producer, director, and director of photography permission to take my DIY style of making videos with lots of jump cuts and direct talking to the camera and push it forward into a longer format. It doesnt look like anything else on TV. Looks like its going to just be a pilot and then we'll see if it makes it to a full show.
