8410 – Ah, good. Friday, is it? Right.

Leave a comment

ECN hooked me up with a side-gig for a website for her boss. That might make for a nice couple of hundred bucks in the next week or two – probably for about 2 or 3 days worth of work over the weekends in my downtime. I can cope with that. I’ve had quite a dry spell in that department since the grove shut down.

Looking forward to doing a little writing this weekend, too. I’m long out of practice, and I’m due to get back on the wagon again. I’ve been fooling with a new mystery-type idea, so I’ll see how well I can work that up into a few thousand words, give or take.

Set up Newtcam on Big Brain…That should eliminate all the random hang-ups lappie-cam was causing. If all goes well, I may experiment with streaming video again soon. As it is, I’m testing out an “autozoom” feature of the newest version of Where’s James webcam… we’ll see how it looks.

8409 – What sort of Chess Piece do you move like?

Leave a comment


Why? (answer in comments, my answer is below)

Poll was brought on by hearing that the knight on a chessboard has to move in an “L” shape because back then, the horse had to be turned left or right for the knight to get close enough to hit someone with a sword or mace.

Sometimes I think that I shuffle that way, behaviorally (is that a word?). I move off to the side, and then a bit forward. (or vice versa) It seems to progress effectively, I have to shift a bit, laterally.

It’s also worth noting that I am *horrid* at chess… I still haven’t grasped the best strategies of the game. I do very well at simpler ones, like Go, Othello (Reversi), Pente, Checkers, and the likeGeotarget

Two parter Dr. Who Episode “Satan Pit” didn’t do much for me. It started off ok, and then sort of unraveled, until it got a quickie star trek last minute baloney ending.

Monday’s morning meeting DRAGGED. A lot was said, but I fear that little was communicated.

Stretchy Ape, filled with rubber beads! Water Snake! Ye Olde Popping Martian!

Moment of Lyric –

Waiting at the station,
waiting for the right moves,
waiting in the basement,
waiting for the right cues,
waiting in a daydream,
waiting in the slipstream

waiting…
waiting in the right bars,
waiting in the right shoes,
waiting in a fast car,
waiting in the airports,

waiting for my airmiles,
waiting in slow motion,
coming through the turnstiles.

And if you ever change your mind,
you know I’m hard to find,
and if you ever need someone…

I’ll still be waiting…
Waiting with the orphans, waiting for the bee stings, they tell me that success brings,
waiting in the half light, waiting for your whole life,
waiting for an ideal…a low deal…a no deal, to play your stereotype.
And if you ever find the time,
you know I’m not far behind,
And if you ever need someone…

I’ll still be waiting…
just waiting for a friend.
I say it’s all right,
It’s all right my friend…just waiting.

8404 – BANGS! Monday Already? I feel like I’m still in the 70s.

Leave a comment

Nice to be relieved of on-call by EN yesterday…. I really prefer to have my weekend to myself, if it can be helped. Lovely rain all day Sunday, and I didn’t do much in way of walkies, due to the foot boo-boo.

Feeling nostalgic for the mid-late 70s… Remembering imprints from the first decade of life, or thereabouts. Sort of funny…so many of folks I know and talk to regularly weren’t even protein yet in 1975. Oh, for the good ol’ days of eating Cap’n Crunch in front of the boob tube watching cartoons or whatnot before the sun has even come up, without a care in the world. Bro still just about 2 years old or so… My Dad about a decade younger than I am now, Momster even younger than that. Only responsibilities are not to wake anybody up.. maybe do a little coloring, or read a book about dinosaurs with word searches and connect the dots at the end of each chapter.

Even as a munchkin, I had to have mixed media piped into my skull… tv, reading, writing, coloring, action figures (or tiny ones, like army men/cowboys and indians cast in plastic).. usually all at the same time. I’m the only person I know that drew crayoned outlines on paper of my GI Joe and Hulk Dolls. Not that I was playing coroner, or anything. I just liked filling in the silhouettes in different poses as a kind of multicolored version of Hiroshima shadows, usually in multiple overlays.

I still remember that Hulk doll with the torn purple pants and the left leg repaired with a nut and bolt across the knee by my dad. More flashback-type stuff from that period.

From ZDNet:

The U.S. House of Representatives definitively rejected the concept of Net neutrality on Thursday, dealing a bitter blow to Internet companies like Amazon.com, eBay and Google that had engaged in a last-minute lobbying campaign to support it.

Juliabee put me onto heifer.org – Nifty sounding group to help teach folks self-reliance.

Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth and they do that by working with communities. Heifer provides families with training and a livestock gift. The family then has hope for a sustainable future and they in turn become donors by passing on the gift of the animal’s offspring to another family in need. Take a look at this video to learn more about this organization that helps families all over the world.

Moment of Lyric – (video)blondie_heart_of_glass

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

Once I had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out I was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

In between “what I find is pleasing” and “I’m feeling fine”, love is so confusing.
It’s no peace of mind if I fear I’m losing you.
It’s just no good, you teasing like you do.

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

Lost inside adorable illusion and I cannot hide.
I’m the one you’re using please don’t push me aside.
We could make it cruising, yeah.

Yeah, riding high on love’s true bluish light
Ooh ooh ooh whoa x4

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

8403 – EN on call! yay!

Leave a comment

Thanks in no small part to the monkey chow diaries, I think I’ve got a good idea on making an effort to eat better, and to help make the world a better place.

My current solution – I’m going to pay matching funds to a foundation for anytime I eat non-grocery items (and I won’t be spending much more – cutting purchase of said items in half – so I’ll be spending abou tthe same amount). Anything from a vending machine or a restaurant, I’ll be earmarking an equal amount of cash for a charity for feeding (or better, teaching to self-feed) someone else who is hungry.

Here is a list of 263 charities that provide food. Though, I might prefer to support organizations that catalyze sustainable changes, like Engineers Without Borders. (The old feed a man a fish versus teach him to fish thing).

If anyone can recommend a good, reputable charity (where money goes to the cause, not executive payroll) that teaches recovery of land / self-sustainable health to people, please let me know.

I’m going to turn my homepage’s yahoo ads and the paypal charity tip jar to focus on that aspect of helping others, at least until the First of July (I may extend it past that point, too, if I don’t come up with another idea that at least as useful) so, if anyone visiting Newtcam or any other page that has a yahoo ad clicks on it, they can help without spending anything.

Other Projects are Hurricane recovery, Race for Life Cancer Research, and Wigs for Kids – Not to mention the following clickable helpers:

A few sites for positive change – None of them cost a penny but can help to do good works.

The hunger site – free food to the hungry
Breast cancer site – Help to fund free mammograms
Child Health site – Help save young lives for free
Rainforest Site – help to preserve our rainforests
Animal rescue site – Feed an animal in need.

It frequently seems that people want what they cannot have. That’s not a problem, until it turns out that the *only* reason they want it is because they can’t have it. Very silly, especially when they don’t want it anymore once they have it.

Well, Duh, I say to myself. Just be glad that isn’t one of my failings… I’ve got enough on my own.

8402 – Late Morning Post, due to sleepy-headedness, and my not needing to be on call.

Leave a comment

Last night was one of pleasant conversation. I was hardly on the web at all

Tomi called me from Finland on skype… it works surprisingly well. Sound was really clean, and it was nice catching up with him, though it was weird, given that he was about 8 hours ahead of me.

Topics: Good ol’ Days, Traveling to the Arctic Circle to see buddies, “the ‘Vette”, Kitties, Cigarettes & Cap’n Kangaroo and Kev re:Gitmo

Had another delightful million-year gab with Tina, too. She’s certainly got a gift for gab. I hope that she’s feeling better today… when she first called, she sounded like a 12 year old with vapor lock, but eventually, the bulk of her nasal-yuck cleared out, and the lungs sounded more loose and open.

Topics: Too Numerous to count (I think I may’ve found someone that can topic-jump more rapidly than I can) But included family, social Darwinism / social quirks, critters (cats, dogs and boars), economy, books primarily popcorn books), tasty food including an eggs and cheese ditty, not-so-tasty food, some very refreshing honesty, and an exceptionally foul-mouthed nun.

Speaking of Foul-mouthed: Listened to a Redd Foxx album recently, and man… I don’t mind blue comedians, but he was just awful. A bunch of weak one-liners. No craft to his work at all. At least Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor build a story that has some profanity – not just a quick “zinger” with a rude ending. Probably, I’m just a different audience – I like Bill Cosby’s albums and Steve Martin’s stuff.

Found a link to a gazillion mp3s of Stars on 45. Pop hits medley-ed out on disco hand-claps. Tossed me right back into the middle of 1981, quick like a magic trick.

Jack the cat chases black bear up tree

capt.d429145a753041439aad741f7aa5fe6a.aptopix_cat_scares_bear_wxs102capt.7825385bce084b65adefeada0f873df3.cat_scares_bear_wxs103

WEST MILFORD, N.J. – A black bear picked the wrong New Jersey yard for a jaunt earlier this week, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice.

Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, chasing small animals when he can, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

“We used to joke, ‘Jack’s on duty,’ never knowing he’d go after a bear,” cat owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday’s newspapers.

Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack’s accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey home’s back yard on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat.

After about 15 minutes peering down at the cat from the tree, the bear descended and tried to run away, only to have Jack chase it up another tree.

At this point Dickey, who feared for her cat, called Jack back home and the bear scurried back to the woods.

“He doesn’t want anybody in his yard,” Dickey said.

Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state’s most bear-populated areas.

8400 – Never Fear, Scotto is here!

Leave a comment

The clouds are wispy and fast-moving today.

I cut the dickens out of the sole of my foot yesterday, and got to take a little trip to the urgent care center near my house. Nothing too dramatic… keeping the foot and all toes. No stitches needed, but a bandage will protect a bit. I’m walking on it, so no big whoop. More blood than anything else – I cut it on the drain. That’s been repaired, so I don’t get a repeat.

Danny mentioned Las Vegas for a mini-vacation in July. I’m not a gambler, but there are cool things to do there. Not sure if I want to spend a coupld of hundred bucks on the cheese factor or not, but it could be a lot of fun.

Random Scotto statement – I can’t watch a hospital death scene without thinking of my father’s passing, and that pisses me off. I don’t like my gut punched by trite tv or movie theatrics. He died over sixteen years ago, and I’m still saddened that I won’t get another conversation with him.

I have a lot of memories of him in my life.

I’ve heard it said that the lessons we learn from pain are always the strongest. I don’t mind pain, if I can get it to stop, and it’s there for a reason that I can suss out.

Moment of lyric – (mp3 {and a lot of great stuff from Rubber Soul} found here)

There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Prairie Home Companion movie is rated PG-13? That’s sort of curious.

Still only Friday? Oh, the pain… the pain…
Well, the weekend will be here soon.

8398 – Why don’t they?

Leave a comment

It’s funny, the things see when they read my lj (or anyone’s, really). How we come across in writing isn’t always how we come cross in “real life”. My journal makes me out to be a pretty intelligent, loving goofball… I think. That’s really only part of what I’m all about. I’m not all rainbows, fluffy bunnies, complaints about my brother and goofy random links about monkeys, robots and bears.

I have my judgmental side, and my angry side, and my lonely side, and my frisky-horndog side… but few, if anyone wants to see that, so many posts of those natures are private or filtered… However, sometimes these do bleed into the public arena one way or another.

I sometimes wonder how people who have known me for years view this lj… do they wonder why I leave some things that are way too much TMI, while other fairly innocuous items get filtered or Scotto’s eyes only?

Went to Maya (was Ole’ Ole’) and the food was lacking quite a bit. They forgot vital aspects of the meal, listed on the menu, and the overall quality was about a 4/10. Fortunately the dinner conversation was more than pleasant, and made up for the mediocrity of the cheese enchiladas. Note to self, take the 10 bus home, as the 11 was just a smidgen late for maximum comfort. Took a nice long roam around riverwalk and talked about whatever comes to mind. It was quite a nice diversion and was once again, a pleasant time-sink. There’s something to be said for being able to discuss a wide variety of topics effortlessly.

8396 – Wehd-nehz-day.

Leave a comment

I stayed home from work yesterday… but Dan came by to visit after 5pm – we checked out Lord of the Rings Online.. signed up for the Beta. Helped Danny figure out what sort of machine he’d need to play it, graphics-wise and such. No movie or Japanese foodies.

After sniffing out gaming tech online, we played pirates (see icon) – each of us won a game, and both were very close. I had superior firepower, he had speed on his side. Ramming and boarding were actually to my benefit for the first time ever playing the game.

I gave him a Rubyred Labs T-shirt as a victory gift from my valleyschwag pack. (I kept the stickers and perplexCity cards) Newt got along with Danny quite well, save for when Dan drew first blood in the pirates game… he exclaimed “BLAM!” quite loudly, and Newt leapt up on the table and yelled at him, and took a swabby-paw swat at his face. I swear, Newt’s more of a watchdog than a scaredy-cat.

After playing, we decided to stretch our legs, and yawns came in a rapid collection of waves… hard to guess what caused it. I think I yawned about 25 times in rapid succession… to the point where I got a little light-headed. Danny followed suit shortly afterward, though he only yawned about four or five times.


We went upstairs to the snack bar, but Target had no coffee, so we hit *$ on the way back. He bought me a pirate booster, so now I have a corsair and an American Ship… plus a Corsair guy that can create temporary fog banks with smoke bombs– not a bad addition to my current fleet of British, Spanish and pirate folks.

Dan’s shirt had a mermaid on it, but is no relation to the Feegee Mermaid. Yucka! – His shirt was more of one of these.(far more cute than feegee)

Going to grab a bite and visit with Tina today after work… should be a jim-dandy time. Perhaps we’ll swing by Dicey Rileys, too. I suspect Eddie Izzard is out, but I’m sure we can keep a steady stream of enjoyable banter going. I’m not used to having things happening outside of the HQ on “school nights”. It’s a refreshing change of venue.

Moment of Lyric – mp3

When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won’t pull you through
You know you’re missing out on something
Well that something depends on you

All I’m saying, it takes a lot to love you
All I’m doing, you know its true
All I mean now, theres one thing
Yes one thing that turns this gray sky to blue

Thats the look, thats the look
The look of love

When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye)
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams
Your reason for livings your reason for leaving
Don’t ask me what it means

Who’s got the look? I don’t know the answer to that question
Where’s the look? if I knew I would tell you
What’s the look? look for your information
Yes there’s one thing, the one thing that still holds true

(whats that? )

Thats the look, thats the look
The look of love

If you judge a book by the cover,
Then you’d judge the look by the lover
I hope you’ll soon recover,
Me I go from one extreme to another

And though my friends just might ask me
They say Martin maybe one day you’ll find true love
I say maybe, there must be a solution
To the one thing, the one thing, we can’t find

Thats the look, thats the look
Sisters and brothers
Should help each other
Oh, oh, oh

Heavens above
Thats the look, thats the look, hip hip hooray, ay
Thats the look, thats the look, yippee ai yippee aiay
Thats the look, thats the look
Be lucky in love
Look of love

The Monkey Chow diaries

Imagine going to the grocery store only once every 6 months. Imagine paying less than a dollar per meal. Imagine never washing dishes,chopping vegetables or setting the table ever again. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

But can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind,I’m about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: “a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes.”

Hmm.. note the chow info page mentions *NON HUMAN PRIMATES*

Ingredients
Ground corn, Soybean meal, Cracked wheat, Sucrose,Wheat germ meal, Animal fat (preserved with BHA, propyl gallate and citric acid), Dried whole egg, Dicalcium phosphate, Calcium carbonate, Iodized salt,Vegetable oil, Choline chloride, Stabilized ascorbic acid (source of Vitamin C), Ethoxyquin (a preservative), Ferrous sulfate, Zinc oxide, Copper chloride, Manganous oxide, Cobalt carbonate, Calcium iodate, Sodium selenite,Vitamin A supplement,Vitamin D3 supplement,Vitamin E supplement, Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Niacin, Calcium pantothenate, Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Folic acid, Biotin,Vitamin B12 supplement.

1 lb of chow per 35 lbs of monkey? Man… that’s a lot of food!

a number’s a number

Gabbed with Tina for about a zillion years on the phone – topics ranged from Shakespeare, Baroque Music, pet stories, furniture, veggie meatballs, lj, stain removal, life at a not-for-profit & work ability, pomade on bedclothes, the terms ballcap and walkies, patient doughnuts, library fines, but NOT Huey Lewis and the News. Some sort of record for random tangents….time compressed to the vanishing point, and it was a lot of fun, making with the jibba-jabba.

Not a bad idea… law enforcement instructors are a easily obtained resource.. I’ll probably sit in on them, if I can go as a rep. I may actually wear my company shirt to a company function… how weird is that?

I have to start thinking about web and local areas to get folks interested. I’m not too crazy about the Broward and Dade LJer communities, due to the large number of twinks… I’ll have to evaluate ’em again.

Recieved some great tunes yesterday…The Thorns and Josh Rouse. Nice Mellow sound. Thanks, Super Kayaker!

Moment of Lyric – mp3

Under the cold blue stars you would just stroll around the yard
that’s what happens to dreams when the life strains and the child lays in you

When you got old you played guitar in a little town, your favorite bar
just blowing steam now the lights fade and everyone’s paid to see you

So did the farm steal your soul when the cornfields won’t grow
its time to leave, now the heart bleeds and the family leans on you

You were under the cold blue stars in another town your favorite bar
that’s what happens to dreams when the life strains and the child lays in you
