I want somewhere green, somewhere nice to the locals, somewhere not a sterile American environment. But, most of all, somewhere with drinks, a beach, and clear blue waters (presumably, for me, on the Caribbean.) Given the nature of the trip, I would prefer somewhere <q>all inclusive</q> so that if we don't want to care about anything, we don't have to.</p> <p>I think I've narrowed it down to a few choices: <ul> <li><a href="#hamanasi">Hamanasi</a>, in Belize</li> <li><a href="#tiamo">Tiamo</a>, on South Andros Island in the Bahamas</li> <li><a href="#manchebo">Manchebo</a>, on Aruba</li> </ul> </p> <p>They're all expensive, but...</p> <p><a name="hamanasi"><a href="http://hamanasi.com/">Hamanasi</a></a> will cost over $1,800 to get to and take a number of hops &mdash; at least two hops to Belize City, and a hop on <a href="http://www.mayaairways.com/">Maya Island Air</a> or <a href="http://www.tropicair.com/">Tropic Air</a> to Dangriga Airport. But, has excellent <q>adventures</q>: Mayan ruins, barrier reef snorkeling and diving, nature preserve, kayaking, canoeing, the whole shebang. They are also heavily invested in <a href="http://hamanasi.com/eco_tourism.html">ECO Tourism</a>. Their <q>honeymoon</q> package includes all meals, but not drinks from the bar. </p> <p><a name="tiamo"><a href="http://tiamoresorts.com/">Tiamo</a></a> is a much easier trip (comparably, at least), catch a flight to Fort Lauderdale, and a $400 hop on <a href="http://www.lynxair.com">Lynx Air</a> to Congo Town on South Andros Island &mdash; still around $1,200 in airfare. They are completely isolated: no computers, cell phones, TVs. Their power is <a href="http://tiamoresorts.com/tiamo/power.cfm">entirely solar</a>, and they thoroughly recycle <a href="http://tiamoresorts.com/tiamo/operations.cfm">waste</a> and <a href="http://tiamoresorts.com/tiamo/waste.cfm">water</a>. They are largely non-motorized watersports oriented, with kayaks, sailboats, snorkeling and scuba (along the barrier reef and blue holes). Like Hamanasi, their <q>honeymoon</q> package includes all meals, but not drinks from the bar.</p> <p><a name="manchebo"><a href="http://www.manchebo.com/">Manchebo Resort and Spa</a></a> is kind of the odd duck, not nearly as <q>out there</q> as the other two &mdash; but they are a <a href="http://www.greenglobe21.com/">Green Globe</a> <a href="http://www.aruba-manchebo.com/green-globe/index.shtml">Certified</a> resort and a <a href="http://www.cha-cast.com/"><abbr title="Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism">CAST</abbr></a> member. The airfare is much cheaper (only about $800 total), and it is a direct flight from several US airports. They have all of the usual water activities, although the snorkeling probably isn't as good. Their <q>All Inclusive Honeymoon</q> does include everything, including drinks.</p> <p>I'm still undecided. I need more information, maybe I need more options. Manchebo seems nice, but mainstream, but easiest. Hamanasi has Mayan ruins and other adventures that don't exist elsewhere, but getting there will likely be a 19-hour multi-hop adventure. Tiamo is less of a flight adventure, has wonderful snorkeling and water, but (maybe this is a positive?) doesn't have any modern toys.</p> <p>Anybody (is there anybody other than me reading?) have a suggestion?</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18128070-1961639489638104326?l=jjminer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143371809196622013noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18128070.post-48866065133937141302008-02-13T01:55:00.001-06:002008-02-13T14:29:09.686-06:00<p>Entering the <a href="http://www.margaritavilleglendale.com">Address they give you</a> (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6751+N+Sunset+Blvd,+Suite+E109+Glendale,+AZ+85305&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.23349,59.589844&ie=UTF8&ll=33.495526,-112.197232&spn=0.008017,0.014548&z=16&iwloc=cent">6751 N Sunset Blvd, Suite E109 Glendale, AZ 85305</a>) gets you to the wrong place..

I'm just reminded of a few backhoe and fiber jokes: </p> From my friend Terry Bradshaw (no, not that one -- this one operates our data center) liked to note (in my aweful paraphrasing): <blockquote> Fiber optic needs to just start hanging around with the backhoe's natural enemy: the natural gas line. We'll either have a lot fewer fiber cuts, or a lot fewer backhoe operators. </blockquote> Collected somewhere, long ago: <blockquote> <p>A tip for all who go to sea in ships:</p> <p>Always carry a length of fiber-optic cable in your pocket. Should you be shipwrecked and find yourself stranded on a desert island, bury the cable in the sand. A few hours later, a guy driving a backhoe will be along to dig it up. Ask him to rescue you.</p> </blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18128070-1702341305846324513?l=jjminer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143371809196622013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18128070.post-54653692364717371212007-07-16T09:55:00.001-05:002008-01-28T17:06:11.325-06:00I could have sworn I posed this already, but it seem I have not. <a href="http://photos.jjminer.org/v/Events/Conferences/YAPC2007/priceline_uses_perl.png.html"><img src="http://photos.jjminer.org/d/71848-4/priceline_uses_perl.png"</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18128070-5465369236471737121?l=jjminer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143371809196622013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18128070.post-56812932661609390752007-06-29T13:45:00.001-05:002007-08-20T13:53:47.777-05:00<a href="http://photos.jjminer.org/v/Events/Conferences/YAPC2007/20070628-121732-2.jpg.html"><img src="http://photos.jjminer.org/d/31984-3/20070628-121732-2.jpg"></a><br> With the airplane, duh.<br> <a href="http://photos.jjminer.org/v/Events/Conferences/YAPC2007/20070628-121732-1.jpg.html"><img src="http://photos.jjminer.org/d/32002-2/20070628-121732-1.jpg"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18128070-5681293266160939075?l=jjminer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143371809196622013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18128070.post-35974733319688648272007-06-29T13:37:00.001-05:002007-08-20T13:54:16.467-05:00Please exit the elevator. <a href="http://photos.jjminer.org/v/Events/Conferences/YAPC2007/20070625-180229.jpg.html"><img src="http://photos.jjminer.org/d/31992-2/20070625-180229.jpg"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18128070-3597473331968864827?l=jjminer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143371809196622013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18128070.post-67171733936447817412007-05-03T22:28:00.001-05:002007-05-03T22:28:51.348-05:00<a href="http://photos.jjminer.org/v/Misc/TibetFlag/IMG_0018.jpg.html"><img src="http://photos.jjminer.org/d/27716-2/IMG_0018.jpg" align="right"/></a> <p>The <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com">City of Madison</a> is flying the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet">Tibetan</a> flag over the City/County Building while <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_Lama">His Holiness the Dalai Lama</a> is in town.

The basic idea is that you carry a personalized device that jams the signals from all the RFID tags on your person until you authorize otherwise.</p> <blockquote><b>Abstract</b> <p>This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the RFID Guardian, the first-ever unified platform for RFID security and privacy administration. The RFID Guardian resembles an &ldquo;RFID firewall&rdquo;, enabling individuals to monitor and control access to their RFID tags by combining a standard-issue RFID reader with unique RFID tag emulation capabilities. Our system provides a platform for coordinated usage of RFID security mechanisms, offering fine-grained control over RFID-based auditing, key management, access control, and authentication capabilities. We have prototyped the RFID Guardian using off-the-shelf components, and our experience has shown that active mobile devices are a valuable tool for managing the security of RFID tags in a variety of applications, including protecting low-cost tags that are unable to regulate their own usage.</blockquote></p> <p>As Cory Doctorow <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/12/06/personal_firewall_fo.html">points out</a>, this is potentially a way to reap the benefits of RFID without paying the cost:</p> <blockquote>Up until now, the standard answer to privacy concerns with RFIDs is to just kill them -- put your new US Passport in a microwave for a few minutes to nuke the chip. But with an RFID firewall, it might be possible to reap the benefits of RFID without the cost.</blockquote> <p>General info <a href="http://www.rfidguardian.org/">here</a>.

Jane initially hired an abortion doctor, but later they did the abortions themselves. They lost only one patient in 13,000 -- a lower death rate than that of giving live birth. The biggest obstacle they had, though, was the fact that until years into the operation, they thought of abortion as something only a doctor could do, something only the most trained specialist could perform without endangering the life of the woman.</p> <p>They were deceived -- much like you have probably been deceived. An abortion, especially for an early pregnancy, is a relatively easy procedure to perform. And while I know, women of South Dakota, that you never asked for this, now is the time to learn how it is done. There is no reason you should be beholden to doctors -- especially in a state where doctors have been refusing to perform them, forcing the state's only abortion clinic to fly doctors in from elsewhere.</p> </blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://www.cynical-c.com">cyn-c</a>)</p> </blockquote> <p>(<a href="http://www.kottke.org/06/02/abortion-manual">Abortion manual for the women of South Dakota</a> via <a href="http://www.kottke.org/">kottke.org</a>.)</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18128070-114547626411528473?l=jjminer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143371809196622013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18128070.post-1145389591030029582006-04-18T14:46:00.000-05:002006-11-16T03:04:14.389-06:00<p>Since a certain someone who is obsessed with drawing everything on a board, even when it isn't needed decided to erase this from my white board, I'm posting this here, because I feel like it.</p> <strong>The Feynman Problem Solving Algorithm:</strong> <ol> <li>Write down the problem.</li> <li>Think very hard.</li> <li>Write down the answer.</li> </ol> <p>None of these steps may be skipped, <em>especially</em> the first one.

Clear Channel Radio is the only place to catch a "Sneak Peek" of Bruce Springsteen's latest album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. This online exclusive will be available on 390 Clear Channel Radio station Web sites! </blockquote> <p>Yes, you're reading that correctly. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> (the <q>blue collar hero</q> and the <q>working man's friend</q>) has teamed up with 17 folk musicians to put out an album of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Seeger">Pete Seeger</a> (counter-culture icon, blacklisted socialist, anti-war and environmental activist) songs. And it's being released (initially) only to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Channel_Communications">Clear Channel</a> Stations.</p> <p>It seems clear that The Boss has lost his mind (to say nothing of his <q>working man</q> roots and, perhaps, <em>credibility</em>).

We don't care if it's at 3AM or noon. I don't want to see highlights of events that feature Americans at 7PM. I want to see everything, and I want it live. I know you don't have that many networks, but you are filming the events, so put them on Digital Cable/Dish/Internet. Sure, show (<em>live</em>) the popular sports on the common channels. And sure, at 7PM Eastern (1AM in Turin), show packaged bits about Americans.</li> <li>I don't care about the hardship this athlete faced. If I want to know that, I'll look it up.
