even the bar isn't safe
A Miami-based 7-year-old beverage-monitoring software company is drinking from the keg of RFID and is selling a tilt switch that attaches to bottles and updates an Internet database every time the bottle is poured. Hilton, Hyatt, Outback Steakhouse, TGI Fridays and others are reportedly testing the system.
It's not merely recording how many times the bottle is poured, but it factors in the tilt of the bottle, the duration of the pour and the bartender's pouring style to calculate how much liquid is leaving the bottle.

got my muse, but no power
Damn...just damn. Well, actually OK in the end, but Tuesdays are busy days for me. This one no different, as I had a morning meeting with a collaborator to discuss revisions on a paper we're writing, then my appt, then the boy's appt, then dinner, etc. And at some point along the way I had to get a proposal done. I had a very rough draft last night, but needed to do some serious cleaning. So I planned on the window between appts, figuring I'd go to Peets (where my muse hangs out) and knock it out there.

from various blogs...
- The reason why terrorists attacked New York City was because Jack
Bauer was in LA.
- You can lead a horse to water. Jack Bauer can make him drink.
- If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and
he had a gun with 2 bullets, he’d shoot Nina twice.
- Every time you masturbate Jack Bauer kills a terrorist. Not beacuase
you masurbated, but because that is how often he kills terrorists.
- If you wake up in the morning, it’s because Jack Bauer spared your
life.
- Colin Farrell smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. Jack Bauer smokes a
pack of terrorists anytime he feels like it.
- Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next
half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.
- Jack Bauer once told God he needed access, the event has since been
referred to as “The Big Bang.”
- Jack Bauer played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
but we don't clean films
A federal judge in Colorado has handed the industry a big win in its protracted legal battle against a handful of small companies in Utah, Arizona and Colorado that offer sanitized versions of theatrical releases on DVD. The case encompasses two of Hollywood's biggest headaches these days: the culture wars and the disruptive influence of digital technologies.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge Richard Matsch came down squarely on the side of the DGA and the major studios in his ruling that the companies must immediately cease all production, sale and rentals of edited videos. The summary judgment issued Thursday requires the companies -- Utah-based CleanFlicks, CleanFilms and Play It Clean Video, Arizona-based Family Flix USA and the separate entity CleanFlicks of Colorado -- to turn over all existing copies of their edited movies to lawyers for the studios for destruction within five days of the ruling.

You weren't going to be using those fingers anyway...
The lamp cord was a nice touch...
Still like the bullet above the kneecap though...show's that you really care enough to send the best.

quiet friday night
The 24 jag continues. And if you're locked in front of the tv for hours on end during a Friday night by yourself (S is still in Europe), then you might as well practice your manual of arms and do a little cleaning.
Remember: the smell of nitro is the smell of clean...

i know jack
Ack! I'm on a 24 jag! I don't really watch much/any network or "live" tv these days...my viewing is limited to F1 races, Iron Chef and Law and Order reruns. But S kept bugging me about 24. So I tivo'd it and we worked through the episodes. Holy Crap! Jack kicks ass. Literally. And shoots kneecaps. Well, actually just above the kneecap so the person can still walk. And before as S was leaving for Europe she left me with season 4 on DVD. And I started watching Tuesday. I'm now up to 1pm. It's 1am my time. I just need to finish this disc...

double the fu
Well, last night I had options. It's nice to have options. But first the work part of things. I've had a paper I've been working on for the last 6 months or so, co-written with jsb. It has been hanging over my head, and I kept putting it off. Well, an actual deadline came, so I finally hunkered down at Peets and summoned my muse. And finished it. Before closing. So I had a free evening (psychologically at least). I ran into Larry (sifu) near Peets, and mentioned that I might come to class tonight. I've been taking time off from kung fu to try and rehabilitate my hip and knees. I started taking tai chi as I thought it would be easier on my body, and I've been wanting to find a good tai chi class anyway.

does the network change?
All of the talk over the years. One thing setting up the other. When push comes to shove, you have to pull the wires and disconnect the old pathways. But does the network change? Ahh, I hear the sleighbells. Sorry, shuffleplay distraction. Hmm, good song title. Why am I typing this instead of writing that? Good question. The resistance is strong in this one..
you talkin' to us?
Happy 4th

hot enough for you?
If you're wearing full gear, it was plenty hot today. Still in search of the "perfect" hot weather motorcycle jacket. The budget is shrinking (man, rough couple of months), so I may just have to sweat and be miserable, or settle for something inexpensive. I worry about mesh jackets though...dress for the crash, not the ride.

bar brat q
After dropping S off at LAX (off to various bits of Europe), the boy and I continued on south to a farewell bbq for a Pelican. The sad story is that Shawn and his family moved out here from Indiana as his company was setting up a new operation in Irvine. After being here two week, the company said, "just kidding", and told him they were moving everything (including million $ lathes) back to Indiana. Nice. So a group of up gathered at Ralph's house in Ranch Santa Margarita (hey, there's a lake there) to eat brats and toast the family. Welcome to California, now go home!
