Marty Sasaki, RIP
Marty from post to his high school facebook page Marty's death apparently happened about six months ago. He stopped posting to his blog on August 13. His recorder teacher, who told me about it, had seen him at her student recital (which may have been the one on September 12) two days before he died. [...]
Cryptonomicon
I assumed when I started reading this book that it was a sequel to The Baroque Cycle, but it turns out that it was actually published four years before Quicksilver, the first volume of the Cycle. Stephenson says about the project: The series will incorporate many characters and stories, tied together by a few common [...]
The Elizabethans were doing ASCII sorting
One of the oddities of Elizabethan publishing, which I have retained in my transcriptions of Elizabethan music, is that they write roman numerals differently from the way your clock does. Specifically, your clock writes "4" as "IV", that is, one subtracted from 5. The Elizabethans didn't do that -- they wrote "IIII", and similarly "VIIII" [...]
What ereader device do I recommend
You would expect a one-a-day blog project like this to run into trouble in December, and this year is worse than most for that. In addition to the party (and attendant cleaning and cooking) and shopping and spending several days in Fall River, I also lost a day on Tuesday officiating at a special election [...]
Corporate bureaucracy
A dog park friend works as a web developer at some corporation that believes a computer is a computer is a computer. So the computer they buy for everyone works quite well for the people who use one browser and a wordprocessor and maybe a spreadsheet and maybe a mail client. But if you do [...]
Borrowed another ebook
This one's even worse than the first one from a usability standpoint. The problem is that this one's a PDF file, but instead of reading it with one of the many excellent PDF readers in the world (including Adobe's), I still have to read it with Adobe Digital Editions. Adobe Digital Editions, instead of having [...]
Bought some electronics
I had a conversation at the dog park a couple of weeks ago with someone who's more expert than I am about broadcast television and maybe some other kinds of consumer electronics. I asked him what he has for an audio setup in his living room. He said he went with a cheap surround sound [...]
I’m back, and what’s next
I seem to have returned to the land of the living -- I woke up this morning wanting to get out of bed and walk the dog. I then did a reasonable imitation of my usual morning routine, and still don't feel like it's quite time to go back to bed. As far as what [...]
I have a cold
It was coming on yesterday, which is why after trying to make a post come out through the masses of wool in my head all morning, I gave up and tagged the post for the West Gallery Quire as my post for October 2. This isn't quite as much cheating as when I use the [...]
