I’m awake and a game is on tv – Duke v. Seton Hall. In my brackets, I picked Duke, but Seton Hall’s a sort of hometown team – I feel almost torn. CBS has also showed way too much Duke stories on tv – good grief, they’re like the NY Yankees – on all the [...]

Spring has sprung, and there is some traces of snow melting before our eyes, but can we remember what we want to forget? Haven’t seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but based on the reviews, I can see that we live these attempts to remember and forget every day. I’d love to wipe out [...]

And the basketball stuff continues. And my bracket’s not looking too bad right now. Sort of. Depends on the results of the Pittsburgh-Central Florida game. Developments in the case of James Yee, the Asian-American/Muslim/army chaplain who was in Guatanamo Bay; Army appears to be dropping the espionage charges – but Capt. Yee will still face [...]

Back to blogging; the hiatus, due to the fact that (a) been busy – work can be exasperating; (b) I did do two blogs on 3/15 – and even added that postscript on 3/16, so that wasn’t good enough for you? Eh; (c ) did you really want more pointless rambling from my messy mind [...]

So it’s nearly 2am, working to get a presentation out for 9:30am meeting. Looks like winter still hasn’t left NYC. Meanwhile, it is cold here in Taipei but am getting ready to go back to California. Working late and all the way until I fly out. It’ll be weird. Seems like everyone is busy, no [...]

I finished reading the latest Star Trek: New Frontier book, “Stone and Anvil” (2003, hardcover edition). I read Star Trek books depending on the plots and characters and writers writing (and how frustrated I am with “Star Trek: Enterprise”). I’ve enjoyed Peter David for his good humor and fascinating characters. They do tend to get [...]

Bracket time for the NCAA basketball championship, which begins Thursday (or is it Wednesday?) – let the Madness begin! Some interesting Slate.com reading: Dahlia Lithwick reviews Ch. Justice Rehnquist’s book on the other closest election in US history (the 1876 one, where Hayes beat Tilden – which led to the end of Reconstruction and somewhere [...]

Spring’s not coming soon enough, and March has too many weird fluctuating temperatures. ‘Nuff said there. Yesterday’s NY Times’ article, “Brown University to Examine Debt to Slave Trade” was interesting: Brown – being the Ivy League school with an African-American president, a long history and influence in American history, and a liberal institution – might [...]

Missed your “Simple Saturday” posting SSW . I love alliterations. Looks like a really cold spell in NYC again. I must say that winter this year all over the world (i.e. California, Taiwan, Malaysia, NY/NJ) has just been bizarre. I wonder what that means by way of global warming. Hmmmm… =YC

A story of how Malaysia defeats technology and making life easier and simpler….
