This was one long article, but I read it all the way to the end. Every time I get a new car, I wonder if the world's oil reserves will last long enough for me to drive it years down. Serious, I sometimes think one day my car will just be immobile because there's no gas left anywhere. I think of hydrogen engines and conversion kits....
And now I hear this:
'An energy source that costs less than gasoline, produces almost none of the emissions that cause global warming, and comes from the Midwest, not the Middle East.'
And it sounds like it could happen, is happening, has happened for a long time. Way to go, Brazil!
Next time I pass by cornfields, I'll think oilfields...ethanol-fields.

The Colts - Again. The Pats - Huh?!
Always go back and read what sportswriters said before their heros turned turkeys.
For Peyton Manning, they went on and on about the Colts' unbeaten run. The greatest QB ever, the matchup with the Patriots, his record. 14-0 in the first 14 weeks of the season.
And what? Big deal. It don't matter.
Indianapolis got kicked out of the playoffs again. Pittsburgh won a thriller. The same playoff story for the Colts. Don't see why Manning's record is so important when he's never won a Superbowl, or even reached one.
And every year you'll hear his achievements being tom-tommed to kingdom come, when nothing finally happens. You never hear the same year round hype about Tom Brady who has 3 rings in four years, and 3-0 record in Superbowls.
Speaking of Brady's Patriots.... what happened to the dynasty this time? That was one awful show at Denver. Guess we're too used to seeing New England win in the playoffs.
Throwing my hat in the Monday morning QB ring...

How To Spot A Zombie
What do you do when people that you barely know walk in to your apartment, and try to get you join some 'educational session' that will be a 'life changing experience'? This happened to me recently.
Two things came to mind:
- Amway
- Some zombie cult
I got the name of this organization, and sure enough the internet tells me it's a brainwasher sort of cult, where the sessions cost a packet each time. Whenever there's any kind of proselytizing, you can bet something's up.
Hint : Any acquaintance/friend/neighbor that shows up suddenly and tries to get you to:
... is in a cult.

- asks you to confirm attendance, and
- then says no obligation to join...

J.Priest - Ye Olde Metal Gods
I was thinking of Judas Priest's latest album 'Angel of Retribution', and as always was trying to download tracks for free. Then I realized my childhood metal gods were now like 56 years old on average. That made me think some....
During what I think was their best ever album 'Defenders of the Faith' ('84), Glenn Tipton was 36. For their heaviest album 'Painkiller' ('90) he was 42, and Rob Halford was like 40.
Am I up for people Paw's age screaming their heads off on stage, and doing those guitar riffs? Probably not. Why? It don't fit.
Will stick with the likes of Queensryche awhile. Ah, I coulda been screaming like a banshee as a lead singer..... alas. At least, I had the long hair once.

Arrest me, officer?
Arnie has no license to ride motorbikes. Not in Terminator, not in LA.
Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he never bothered to obtain a motorcycle license because he “never thought about it.”
Maybe we can all drive around without valid licenses, and say 'Sure, well the governor didn't have one either, and I never thought about it'

Hotmail - Is anyone listening?
Why does Hotmail continue to be such a usability disaster? Has Microsoft given up on making this product easy to use?
The difficulties begin right at login. You need to type in an entire email address. Ok, there's ' save email address' option, but what if you have more than one ID? All the other web mail offerings let you sign in with just a user name at any time.
After signing in, there's a meaningless screen that tells you what email is new, from my contacts, and what is junk. More often than not, I find legitimate email in the junk folder.
The inbox screen is completely non intuitive. Composing an email requires looking for some button that says 'new'.
There are too many intermediate 'confirmed' screens to wade through to get anything done. Sure, Yahoo mail has similar stuff, but somehow it seems cleaner and quicker.
I like Gmail's no nonsense approach the best, and I don't care about the text ads. They do not bother me. It has everything that users need - easy to find anything, everything is saved, it's fast, and is thus a complete usability delight.
Once upon a time - Hotmail ruled the net. I think it now ranks a distant third or fourth in favorable ratings.

Mining disaster - Now Alive, Now Dead.
Unbelievable! I was just watching and reading news reports about the W.Va miners that were supposedly alive , that were actually dead.
First we heard early today that 12 miners were found alive in that incident. Scenes and exclamations of joy
Twelve of 13 miners who had been trapped underground for more than 36 hours are alive and were being brought out early Wednesday for treatment, officials and family members said.
Grief and anger replaced jubilation early Wednesday as mine officials announced that, despite earlier reports, only one of 13 trapped miners had survived a West Virginia mining accident.

Twelve of 13 miners who had been trapped underground for more than 36 hours are alive and were being brought out early Wednesday for treatment, officials and family members said.
Ambulances carrying the rescued miners began arriving early Wednesday at the local hospital.
Minutes later, we hear that 11 are dead, and only one is alive and in critical condition. What a god-awful horror story. Can't imagine what those families are going through, especially when we saw those scenes of jubilation, and church bells tolling.Grief and anger replaced jubilation early Wednesday as mine officials announced that, despite earlier reports, only one of 13 trapped miners had survived a West Virginia mining accident.
'Miscommunication' was blamed for the good news turned bad news.
Per MSNBC, 'the chief executive of the mine blamed the stunning error on a misunderstood conversation overheard between rescuers and the command center overseeing rescue efforts.'

New Year's Eve highlights
I know this is a couple days late. Been catching up on New Year's eve 'who said/did what after a few drinks' stories. All with a touch of exaggeration, but who cares.
True highlights though:
- My neighbor that had invited people to his place, but hung out at my place at our pre-party. In fact his guests, family and their drinks ended up at my apartment, until they realized who'd invited them in the first place.
- My friend told a guest that he'd 'beat her' if she didn't quit smoking. ;)
- Us returning home real quick to after-party cos the place we went to was a disaster.
- Tequila shots from 3am onward, cos some people didn't feel drunk enough.
So New Year's Eve 2006 won't be in my worst list ... refer to an earlier posting.

Titles at work. Napa under water.
Can anyone explain Assistant Vice President? One of my friends has this title at work, and it seems like it means Vice-Vice or Assistant-Assistant.
Was in Napa just last month, and I hear wine country's completely flooded. Dennis and I were just there and it was picture perfect when we managed to do three wineries despite starting out from Santa Clara at 3pm.
Pretended like I understood wine appreciation terms, and also noted the progressive animated chatter of my fellow tasters. You could tell who'd been to how many wineries.
In all my time in CA, this was the first time I did anything touristy - like visit Napa Valley and go wine tasting. The old guy at Peju Province was a riot - the way he sang and narrated his wine stories. Good times.

Random chuckles...
Ever suddenly chuckle about something that you recall from the past? Some incident, a scene from a film, something on tv? Happens to me often. =)
Even as I think most 'Bollywood' films are poorly made with copied stories and bad acting, they can be funny at times. Intentionally and unintentionally - mostly the latter. Among genuinely funny scenes that I keep recalling for chuckles:
- The Pele-Kele scene in Do aur Do Paanch
Amitabh to the kid: 'Bittu beta..main tumhe aisa football sikhaaonga ke mashhoor football player Pele tumhaare saamne kele bechthe hue nazar aayenge’’...lol
- The missing corpse scene in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron.
When asked about it, the two journalists go -'Woh laash (body)...la la la la ...' (sung to the tune of another film song)
- The 'Hamara Bajaj' scene in Andaz Apna Apna.
The crooked twin of the rich man makes plans for his chicken business, when he thinks he now has his brother's fortune.
Non-film:
Whenever I think of my neighbor's 'kid-friendly' german shepherd chasing the children around the pool. That cracks me up. Right after being declared 'friendly' she went after them. LOL.

1996
HNY - 2006 is here! Now do you remember what you did for New Year's 1996? It's a decade ago already!
1996 was the year of the Macarena craze, when the WWW expanded exponentially, when Ind-Pak-SL hosted a cricket world cup together, Pepsi ran the 'Nothing Official About It' ad campaign, the summer when Independence Day hit the screens, and when Clinton-Gore beat Dole-Kemp in a landslide.
It was also the year that you now wish you had bought dot.com IPO stock. It's now ten years since - amazing.

Trading favors - Steal a seat.
So last night, the steward at this restaurant we frequent, came up to our table. After hemming and hawing some, he said he'd 'undercharged' us in error the last time, and the difference had been taken out of his paycheck. 'No obligation, though' - he said. This apparently happened a month ago. Anyways, no worries, it was no big deal for us - we settled.
We planned to go to the tavern attached to this place afterward, but getting a table was usually a problem. It was always crowded, and on a weekend - a place to sit was impossible at 11pm. I thought, having accepted our steward's 'you don't have to' request, why not have him help us out?
He was quick indeed. Our steward hurried us in the tavern, where he blatantly placed a 'reserved' sign on a table where a group had just sat down. He yanked them all out saying that table was reserved and they'd have to wait outside. They protested rightfully, but our man stood firm. We got that table... yuk! yuk! Heehaw.
They left with dark looks in our direction. If this had happened to me, I'd have been mad as hell and would have created a scene. But I'm a hypocrite sometimes... ;).
No one was waiting for us by the parking lot afterward .... =).

Feel philanthropic toward your school?
An alumni survey sent to me triggered this thought. How many solicitations for funds do alumni get from their schools? I get about two a year from Syracuse University, and I really thought my school was fabulously wealthy with a giant endowment. Now a lot of people know what I thought of my time at SU. There's not a chance in hell that I'd contribute a dime to that institution. Several friends also thought the same about their colleges - they recall tuition increases, and hard times.
Maybe a degree from SU's Newhouse School opens doors for me professionally, but I had strong reservations on how the system worked back then. For me, graduation was something to get done with, and the happy stuff started after then.
The threshold of all good things to come was when I moved to Williamstown, MA early in 1999. Syracuse was to quickly become a memory. Heck, even the winters in Billsville felt better - the snow felt 'cultural', unlike the white stuff in Siber-cuse. The happy times continue.... =)

How to spot fake/colored contacts
Often wonder why people wear these so obviously fake looking colored contact lenses. Surefire giveaways are:
- Glassy stare.
- Pupils never dilate or contract. It's odd when someone's eyes have the same pupil size in a dark as in a well lit place. Look at the closest cat's eyes - at night and during the day. See what I mean?
- Can see original eye color behind contact lens, when the lens shifts. This has a two-color weirdo effect.
- Eye color obviously does not match. 'Sayyy, are you wearing colored contacts?'
- Different eye colors seen when one lens falls off. This is real scary.

When the world's on vacation...
It's a little hard to come to work in a half-empty office. Everyone seems to have gone on vacation... the usual Dec 25 - Jan 1 week every year.
Pluses:
Plenty of parking spots free.
Can go home at a decent hour. Not much happening anyway.

New Year's Eve in the past
As New Year's Eve approaches, I always seem to not have a plan of action. Most years it ends up being a ton of fun, but there have been several colorless years.
Among the colossally boring ones:
'97: The most dreary ever. Two friends and I watching TV at home. 3 single guys, at home in a fun city.... watching tv? That could not be beat by anyone else. Two complete bores - my friends, and a completely annoyed me. No ideas. They didn't want to go out. No nothing. I fell asleep head of midnight.
'95: Some clueless friends and I driving around in a goddamned car doing nothing else. The hour struck and no one had a suggestion. Again, no ideas. How did I end up with these jokers? I missed going someplace else.
'98: Second boring year in a row! People I didn't want to be with and I in a snowbound house. Not one with any sense of fun or excitement. Again I was amazed at how I ended up there at all.
This year, I was thinking someplace tropical.... an island - Sri Lanka? 2 days ahead of a possible departure, still ain't sure. =) True to form.

Is Christmas cool?
First off let me state I have nothing against the festival, and I'm well informed on all things Biblical - likely more than most of the faithful.
Was looking at some pictures online. This is about the hordes of people, especially in India that prance around in Santa caps and outfits during Christmas. I've always found this strange every year.
:) I don't believe these Santa adopter folks have any clue about Christmas or its origins, but they certainly are in it for the 'cool' factor. In offices, one sees full throated carol singing with 'elves' in red and white caps. None of them of any Christian denomination. Ok, now that can be charming, but it's mostly irritating, given the lack of knowledge on the event. Also, all the references to snow, sleighs, fireplaces, reindeer seems completely out of place in a totally tropical clime, especially with fake fur caps on.
When they sing about Yuletide, Rudolph, Santa Claus, The Holy Ghost .... at the least, I think, these enthusiasts should know what these terms are. Else they look like wannabe cool ... clowns.
As pointed out often, Christmas in the United States is now an openly commercial affair. The most common pre-Christmas greeting is 'Have you got your shopping done?' , and you wish each other 'Happy Holidays', talk about sales, and the season's must have gifts. There's not really any Christ left in Christmas.
Actually the army of elves mentioned earlier aren't really doing anything different. It's all the same in effect. =) This sure is humbug.

License plates in France. Rental Cars.
So this is how they issue vehicle license plates in France, and the system is about to change. Chanced upon this article - real interesting.
'In France, your number plate ends with the two digits of the administrative district, or département, where you live.'
'If you hire a car in France, be aware that everybody else can see that fact and assume you are a hopeless foreigner because your licence number ends with 60. For tax reasons, the big hire companies register their cars in the département where it is cheapest to do so - the Oise - le 60.'
A little different than in the United States, eh? For rental cars, time was when the rental company's name and logo would be displayed on the car. They changed that when many drivers said they didn't want to be seen as driving a rental car. Human nature. Sure, you want people to think that fancy rental SUV or convertible is yours.
But it's good to pretend it's a rental if you rent:
Is this important to know? No.

- A Hummer (are these rented out all?). You'd get nasty stares and gestures these days....no kidding. Yell back - 'It's a rental!'
- A Hyundai Accent, Kia Sephia or any Korean make. Then you could say your own car's a fancy SUV/convertible. Say it often to your passengers and whoever sees you getting in/out the car.
- A Dodge Magnum. Looks like a hearse. Alternatively, pretend to be a hearse driver to get with it and play the part.
Is this important to know? No.
Mare Tranquillitatis
The Sea of Tranquillity. Though not exactly appropriate to what I'm about to write on.... it'll do.
I happened to go home yesterday, mid-morning, after an all-nighter at work. I liked the feel of my apartment in the daytime - 'twas quiet, loads of sunshine lit the place up, and nice cool weather made it feel just right.
Very peaceful. Tranquil. Isn't that one of the best sounding words in the English language?
Anyway, it was nice to watch Yes Prime Minister on dvd as I lay on the couch. Dozed off a bit soon after - was immediately transported faraway by myriad dreams, the kind that start immediately when you get intense sleep.
The doorbell never rang even once, none of the usual idiots at the door that ask about neighbors/do vacuum demos/are on the wrong floor but ring the bell anyway...
Good zzzzz..... why wake up when you can sleep on? I heard kids yelling down in the lawn, the dog (the one friendly with kids, but chased them) woofing... peace no more. Back to work.
