For me, Aikido has been and is, slightly out of this world. Its been a continuously amazing learning experience ever since I started training.
Lately there are many more children 25 years younger than me training alongside the adults and while that could seem scary to outsiders, it is the sweetest thing in the world next to having your own. Its cool to get thrown by a 12 year old.. and precious to practice with them. Its also great to turn 'more technique and less fighting' on its head - sometimes - and get launched hard and safe by another big guy only to switch and turn the tables. Off to class. Oh what joy. It's been two years yeasterday. | ||

one more pitch for userland to alter the publishitem callback!
i altered render to be able to squeeze a few more variables into 't'. this is something that i imagine others wanting to do and it can be done painlessly if one moves the invocation of the callbacks down to before the text-substitutions and passes 't' to the callback in addition to adrpost. i'm ok moving the block and adding the parameters each time the render proc gets blown away.. but there is zero reason (flow-wise anyway) for the invocation to be where it is (haste perhaps?) if it was moved down to 'the last possible second' it would open up many possibilities for everyone. and thats a good thing. | ||

Privacy Foundation: Privacy Watch: "According to our findings, TiVo: gathers enough information to track individual users' home viewing habits while apparently promising not to do so; could identify the personal viewing habits of subscribers at will; has a much more explicit privacy policy disclosure on its Web site than in the printed material that accompanies the purchase of the product."
do i care that they know that: i like b/w stuff but not reruns, i watch all but 4 shows.. and skim some talk and some tech.. i do. ouch! | ||

Blah, Blah, Blah and Blog "NPR's three-minute piece on how weblogging is transforming journalism was just one more sign that blogging has outgrown its underground trendiness."
this is sure to change hiring practices. me... i've made my living on the web for 7 years and blogging is teching me some new things. i surf and read news anyway, now i got a spot to track some comments. that's neat. at most i hope for people for people that need to find me, to find me.. by way of getting whatever links there are to me updated and brought into the present through keeping this thing. but that should be obvious. | ||

Softman v. Adobe: What it Means for the Rest of Us: "US Court says buyers can unbundle EULA-covered software."
i missed that one. from november: "The Court understands fully why licensing has many advantages for software publishers. However, this preference does not alter the Court's analysis that the substance of the transaction at issue here is a sale and not a license," Judge Pregerson writes. If you put your money down and walked away with a CD, you bought that copy, EULA or no EULA. | ||

Dann Sheridan has another miracle, a real-time event viewer for Radio 8. (Screen shot.)  Eureka! Finally a use for Window's Active Desktop. I wanted exactly this to appear for 3 weeks now. Here it is. Another question answered by default. 5 min elapsed time. Neato! The big deal here is not that iFrames can get any page.. but that the server is on my desktop and can deliver local dynamic pages as well as soap'ed contents from elsewhere. ..still want to know how to get radio to keep an open connection to me! to bad that i dont understand the whole model yet.. like where to set an authentication context.. not per call.. i sure hope not!.. is there an auth-token 'standard'? interface discovery? | ||

Does the language we speak affect the way we think?: "A hot topic is whether the language we speak affects the way we think. "
It does for me! be it programming or spoken languages, each shifts my brain around differently. each has its strength and weaknesses, its ways and its moods. I most miss the ease and accuracy of german compound nouns. They are ubiquitous and, for me, more conducive to abstract thought than the many tiny words i wind up needing to express the same thing in english.. | ||

Privacy Foundation: Privacy Watch: "I see privacy and freedom as among the most important of all human values. History shows that we got them by increasing the amount that each of us, as a sovereign citizen, knows. We did not get them by frenetically trying to police what other people know. " viaviavia.. all over right now. worth tracking. | ||
