Resplendence: Journal 9
2010-03-10 13:00:00 I’m sitting in Susan’s office like I do every Wednesday. Everything is the same as it is when I visit?the fabulous fashion magazines, Harper’s, some issues of the New England Medical Journal , photos of her boyfriend in trendy frames, watery iced latté from Starbucks clutter her desk along with the keyboard and gigantic monitor. She ... More About: The Little Prince
Resplenence: Letter to Edmund
2010-03-10 13:00:00 Dear Edmund, I’m leaving the hospital for good. You’ll probably say, “Yeah, it’s not the first time you’ve talked about leaving.” That’s just it. I’ve always talked about it, hoping the Gold Lady would drive down from Santa Monica and take me away. But she keeps telling me this is something I would have to do ... More About: Letter
Resplendence: Feuille 49
2010-02-26 13:00:00 The Gold Lady is walking down the street, the breath her only friend. I talked to her on the phone and she told me the Man with the 4-Way Hips broke up with her this morning. When I asked her why, she told me he was tired of being known as the Gold Lady’s boyfriend because ...
Fiction: The Great Engine Heist
2010-02-25 13:00:00 Nearly a Year (approximately one Earth millenium) before Kumo’s string of psychic computer hacks, there was a series of similar similar crimes. And then there’s the list. Date: 19.4.150.8 In the early Winter of Year 19, the mainframes of Shusa, Atosa, Hitonen, and Hladdat were attacked. The gigantic warehouse-sized buildings filled with analytical engines, or ordinators, were ... More About: Computers , Fiction , Great , Engine
Resplendence: Feuille 48
2010-02-24 13:00:00 (Left) The Gold Lady doesn’t have a halo when she is in her human form, but I think the halo makes her look very complete. (Lower right corner) The Gold Lady’s lethal, ass-kicking shoes. Silk crepe scarf to go with the dress on the (lower) left. She is the one Supreme Being, whose lips and hips ...
Lessons in Impermanence, Part II
2010-02-24 07:16:00 “Strangers When We Meet” is how I have felt about some people I’ve known in the past. The jobs were one lesson in impermanence since they were all short-term. Unlike the grocery store, where I stayed on for one reason or another even though I hated it, I didn’t have to stick around if I didn’t ... More About: Part
Resplendence: The Finale
2010-02-24 05:38:00 It has been a while since I’ve posted an entry from Resplendence, but I’m wrapping it up, bringing it to its conclusion. It’s a finished work and I’d like to get this out in book format. You saw it here first. Not really, as my fellow MFA’ers and professors from the program were the first ... More About: Finale
Fiction: Visualizing the Server
2010-02-23 13:00:00 This is the hack as it occurs in Kumo’s mind. She is, after all, a telepathic hacker and she draws her inspiration from the Temple of the Muse. Also, remember, she’s on Hlau?s list and she is one of the Seven. Kumo often focused on something related to the network. Sometimes she would use a wireless signal ... More About: Fiction , Server
Check out Khowaga?s 365 Project
2010-02-22 14:00:00 Chris, my blogger friend out in Austin, TX, has been doing a photo a day project, or Khowaga’s 365 Project . This is his 50th photo, a milestone in a yearlong project. It’s a great portfolio so far and it’s not too hard to get through at 50.* No doubt more fantastic photos will be shot ... More About: Check
Lessons in Impermanence, Part 1
2010-02-22 13:00:00 David Bowie singing his signature anthem of impermanence, “Changes.” If there’s anything to learn from this recession is that nothing is permanent. Way before our economy tanked to where it is now, corporations adopted the layoff as a quick road to profits during the Clinton years. Downsizing, reducing redundancies, etc – it became the popular way ... More About: Tube , David Bowie , Part , Generation X

ShindoTV?s sold?
2009-04-01 09:10:00 I’ve been absent from the blogoshere for a week or so. There have been a few changes since my last post. Walmart bought ShindoTV.Com for quite a hefty price, enough for me to quit the adjunct teaching for good. Never let it be said that the Waltons are a bunch of stingy bastards. All those stories ...

Battlestar Galactica: Hitchiker?s Guide Edition
2009-03-23 17:43:00 The Battlestar Galactica finale is properly entitled “Daybreak II” and it will be available on Hulu this coming Saturday. In the meantime, here’s Part 1 for your viewing pleasure and to get you up to speed. I have sufficiently cleared the spoiler zone, but I’m a little late for my taste. However, if you haven’t seen ...

Super Size Me
2009-03-19 08:30:00 Warning: some scenes definitely NSFW. Also, a few other scenes not safe for the stomach. In the past, I’ve had my students watch this movie. It’s a school-friendly documentary and it’s easy to create class discussions and writing assignments based on it. During one class, one student even got into it by bringing some McDonald ’s take-out ... More About: Super , Size , Hulu
Stay Tuned?
2009-03-16 08:30:00 Just a few things on ShindoTV: I created a new blog, The Shindobrarian, to chronicle my journey through the MLIS program through San Jose State University. I’ll post about the process of starting and what happens in my studies along the way. Also, I plan to post Library and Information Science-related material on the Shindobrarian. I ...

Battlestar Galactica: Daybreak, Part 1
2009-03-16 08:04:00 Islands in the stream… Oh, not that one. Here’s the episode from last week, just in case you missed that one. “Daybreak” vid to show up this coming Saturday I looked on Hulu for a clip of Deadpan Chick giving a recap of “Daybreak,” and it’s not up yet. Darn. Anyhow, this lead-up to the finale has ... More About: Battlestar Galactica , Part , Galactica
Battlestar Galactica: Islanded in a Stream of Stars
2009-03-13 18:19:00 Listen to Deadpan Chick catch us all up on last week’s BSG episode. There is my promised BSG post. Only bummer is two more episodes and the show is finis. C’est tout. There are still numerous Sixes and Eights in their sexy worker uniform patching up the insides of the Galactica with Cylon tar. No Tyrol this ...

Small Talk is Cheap
2009-03-13 08:00:00 Never have I been so disappointed in an Apple product and I haven’t even had the chance to see it in person. For close to a decade, I have been using Macs and related products, and I’ve been very enthusiastic about them. I have owned a G4 tower and Blueberry monitor (beautiful display, but too ...

BSG post - delayed
2009-03-12 09:29:00 I’m really sorry about not posting the BSG post. I’ll post that on Friday morning, which leads up to the next to last episode. It’s hard to believe the show’s almost over. The reinvention of the cheesey 1970’s franchise has been brilliant, despite Ronald D. Moore coming up with some half-baked ideas. I’m still appalled he ... More About: Battlestar Galactica , Post
Rubric?s Cube, II
2009-03-12 09:07:00 If I’m not interested in teaching college English as a long term goal, then why do it? Ironically, I find my several semesters of being in the classroom something of value, especially as I’ve been getting my act together. Yes, I used the past progressive, not the passive voice in past tense. I have been ... More About: Cube
I?ve Been Ning?ed
More articles from this author:2009-03-10 09:27:00 I’ve pointed out in both of my “Gone Phishing” entries that spammers often use the free e-mail services (Hotmail, GMail, etc) instead of having proper company websites. Now, it’s become apparent that they don’t even use company websites. Why do that when you can do Ning.Com? After all, it’s free and not everyone has caught ...
