Warehouse 13 Thoughts

david.hagar@gmail.com — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:27:59 GMT

Saw Warehouse 13 Pilot Episode last night, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though there are some nicely cliché things, its like seeing a formula in action. You have the hero, the adviser, the problem. I would say the villain, but that isn't the case in the pilot for Warehouse 13. There isn't a consistent villain but there is a problem at hand. Weird shit is out there and it needs to be contained. The adviser is split, this fits with the archetype of the socially inept but brilliant scientist, which is very popular right now. See shows such as Fringe, Lie to Me, and The Mentalist. I enjoy each of those - however, they all share the same factor. A scientist or other scholar who is brilliant but without social knowledge or constraint.

The main science guy in Warehouse 13 has demons, which is good. I like the science guy with demons because it gives an out for the idea that he is socially isolated, not because he doesn't know how perhaps? It could be because he has been hurt too many times before. It speaks in the episode about dead associates, dead agents, weird questions that saved his life. Who is the other advisor? A very attractive woman who apparently reads auras but not only that, she extrapolates into a deep knowledge and understanding of personality and behavior. This reminds me of Lie to Me where he knows everything about those around him. She seems to know everything about those around her but is wise enough not to force it, I personally want to see her have issues, it is too perfect.

The hero is split as well, two people fighting for the cause. He is reminiscent of Mulder on X-Files. He believes though not with the religious fervor of Fox nor is he alienated from his colleagues, though I get the impression that he was on his way down. She is very much like Scully though not a scientist, although if one has watched the entirety of X-Files one would be better to compare the girl to John Dogget, not a scientist but a straight shooter. There is nothing weird going on, everything can be explained, etc... I hope they both break out of these shells in the future, each of us has as Dogget, a Scully, a Mulder, etc...

What do I think?

I enjoyed it, quite a bit. It has a lot of potential.

Today should be a bad day... All the recent things going on and all their expectations for the coming months pile on like sack of grain after sack of grain, right onto my shoulders and the shoulders of those around me as well. I have an idea of the poor times coming in the future but, somehow, today they do not scare me. Today, I have paid a bill and likely will pay another. What is amazing there? Nothing. I will clean up my house, I will do my dishes, and I will simply live.

My wife says that I suffer from dissatisfaction, that I am never happy with what I have and never will be. Funny, I often wish to say the same thing about her, and I wonder... Who is right? Are we both right? Probably. The fact is that the things in my life that matter, I have. My wife, I have. I have a family, though untraditional as it may be, people rely on me. I know that I am needed and I have the unappreciative people sometimes able to say mean things - though more often they simply demonstrate this attitude of ungratefulness not by overtness (because they would never characterize themselves as ungrateful) but by lack of being a part of things and the lack of adjusting their social constructs to meet the needs of their own situation here. What is that like? Children, so I am told, have the unerring capacity to completely take for granted all the things that make their lives nicer. Who is the child? Those who live in the house may think this is all to them but it is to one in particular. Having said that, I am certain the person I am speaking of will think it is someone else where as the others will think it is themselves still. Such is life.

What is it I am supposed to do now? Well, as I said, I will clean my house, do a bit of wash, and occasionally pet the cat. This Week in Tech has visited by iTunes list once more and along with MacBreak Weekly I will very likely listen to some audio as well. In short, I will live and hope that those around me can at the same time both show me how to take comfort in what I have in my life that is wonderful (such as above, wife, family, being needed, etc) and balance that with desire for improvement.

That is all for now.

PS - Yes, the title really does quote such tripe.

Middle of the Road of Life

david.hagar@gmail.com — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:44:52 GMT

Yesterday I was driving up the road in my rather beat up looking minivan, I was driving north on I5 on my way to the pharmacy. For those people who don't know, I5 north of where I am has maybe one, perhaps two cities that are of any size and certainly nothing as large as where I live now, Redding. The road continues with small settlements off the beaten path all the way into Oregon where it meets up with some Oregon cities. It is clear , however, while heading north of Redding that you are heading out of civilization. I reached Shasta Lake City, my stop, and got off I5 but as I approached the exit my mind paused its thought process. Even as my hands turned the wheel slightly to the right and guided my old windowless vehicle off of the freeway toward my eventual destination I was caught off guard a bit by the strength of my imagined travel onward. What if I did not get off there, what if I just kept going and going. What if, instead of stop, I just kept moving, I had what... Around a quarter tank of gas left, I had my debit card though, so I could gas up though that would mess with my already strained monetary calculations and plans. I really had the power to keep going, to just not stop and see where I ended up.

There is a freedom in that thought, a freedom that I can't really explain. Don't get my wrong, this isn't about me wanting to leave my wife and life behind me, this isn't about being unhappy where I am exactly, it is about the longing to have done more with myself. I've been to... 3 concert in my time, just 3... Well, 4 if you count a country concert when I was a kid but, I don't, I hardly remember it. Even at 4, that seems a pitifully low number. I don't go anywhere, never have. I have never even seen a real museum. This is so startling that when I went to the Turtle Bay Exploration Park and saw their small art exhibits I was so pleased to just be there that I didn't want to leave. I thought, how amazing is this... People put onto canvas or other materials a sense of how they saw the world. Some, I identified with right away, some I wondered about, but all of them I thought to myself, these expressions are amazing. The creativity, the power to just put a vision of an outlook into permanent record for all to see for all time. I have been looking for that for so very long now for myself. First, I wrote programs but, programmers are never hailed. People who even use iTunes, OS X, or Office really don't think of the immortality of viewpoint of the programmers because, well it just isn't that way. I try to write, but I am no good as a writer, so no good in fact that even friends of mine I ask to read what I have written do not, it sits there waiting - or they have and wish not to tell me. Either way, it is the same. My expressions are uninteresting but I can feel it, I can feel that inside me, ideas and viewpoints that desperately wish to be laid out.

Back to the road though, as I get off the freeway I wonder what it would be like to travel the open road. Do I want a motorcycle? Probably not, but to be able to do something and experience something. To leave a mark somewhere maybe, or maybe just to leave a mark on myself so that I don't feel so painfully dull. I want to go to China, I want to go to England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Russia... All of these places I would love to go but never will it seems. I have started to read more, to read more about the world around me and about worlds that either never happened or have long since died away. It makes me long more for the freedom to go and to experience.

Perhaps this is my mid life, is this what happens when people buy new cars and get new young wives, split families and head out on beefy motorcycles every weekend with friends? I feel old, too old and with not enough life to be this old. So, yes, I think it fits the definitions of a mid life crisis, except milder maybe... I'm not going to go divorcing my wife to get some young bimbo of a thing to make me feel 17 again. I am too smart for that, I would just feel my age even more when she never would get a reference of a viewpoint born of my generation. I don't want a motorcycle, though a Jeep would not go amiss. I don't want to leave my family for the open road to find myself. Nay, it could be said there is no self to find, but if there is, I will find it here, in my house, with my wife and family. Though it is most likely that I will find that I am largely undefined. Perhaps I just shouldn't look too hard. I have painted the exteriors of self, if I look not very hard at the outsides and visible parts the finish is nice and shiny. I should stick to that.

What is in a Name? Too much to mess with!

david.hagar@gmail.com — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:01:09 GMT

I had previously read this story...
http://ping.fm/T6Up2

Now this story...
http://ping.fm/QOvWn

Now, with the first story I was really appalled that someone would send their child through life with the name Adolf Hitler Campbell. That is a seriously cruel thing to do, if the child (unlikely) somehow ended up not being a racist it would take convincing new people at every turn that they were not racist. I say unlikely because the kind of parents who name their child that in the first place. Add to that the report that the report of the name of one of the other children, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, I hope she has blond hair and blue eyes though it would be true to irony if she didn't.

I think that it is characteristic of an unhealthy detachment from ones own children to use their names to make political and social statements. Going up with the name Adolf Hitler linked with you forever. Likewise growing up linked with Aryan Nation linked with you forever, makes no sense and is cruel to the children. Kids in schools are cruel enough, when your beliefs aren't popular high school can be alien enough to anyone. But to add a layer of senseless and needless difficulty to the state of things. What happens if they have a black teacher, a jewish professor in college? Someone who can actually impact their lives to doesn't need to know them, doesn't need to ever really worry about knowing them. For some, all they'll need to know is the name and be offended and have the properties of a first impression forever shadowed by the simple fact of a name chosen to make a political statement by parents who obviously don't give a shit about the kids they are cursing.

Crap Doctors

david.hagar@gmail.com — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 09:08:14 GMT

I was reading over this story...
http://ping.fm/2CVnl

I cannot believe that this is even in question anywhere... I can understand when people hold others lives in their hands every day multiple times a day, they'll get cocky. That is normal, what I don't understand is why someone doesn't make them do more checks anyway. Take one of the items, where you should have to check and make sure that everyone knows what they are supposed to be doing and what others are supposed to be doing. Really? This has to be suggested? Ok, so I suppose I can look at it from the idea that people should know their jobs. However considering how many hospitals in the US alone are teaching hospitals with students for doctors and students for nurses working on live people who's lives are in their hands. I would think this simple check to make sure everyone knows what is expected of them would be alright. I mean, doesn't have to take long but a quick game plan, you are doing this, you are doing that, I am doing this, and you - over there - are doing this other thing. However, most startling was the last one on the sample they gave. Check that all needles, sponges, and instruments are accounted for. I would say that this wouldn't be needed. Then comes into my mind the fact that I have personally heard of people who have had towels left in them. Something is seriously wrong with a medical system that has to be asked to please check for such things especially after they are known to happen.

Bah! People wonder why doctors aren't trusted.

Drinks of Doom

david.hagar@gmail.com — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 08:50:37 GMT

The death of the teen Shelby Allen displays quite readily something seriously wrong in her life and in her relationships with her friends. Seriously, a teenager waiting until adults go to bed to drink is nothing to speak up about it happens all the time and I personally don't see anything wrong with a bit of drinking at that age, it is normal. However, that isn't what this is, either this girl was seriously troubled and tried to drink her troubles away then was unable to do so before getting that sick. Or, the alternative is that she honestly just did not know that you could in fact get seriously ill from this effect of blood alcohol poisoning.

I was never a big drinker myself, however, I knew about it. It was talked about in school during the "don't do drugs" and "don't drink" segments of classes throughout my years from 7th grade right up until my Junior year. I don't believe they don't do such things anymore. However, it is hard to get kids to listen to things like that when they are said so often and bundled into the moral wrappings they are now in addition to the slippery slope arguments used (drink now, become a drunk, and so on).

I'm not sure if the above disturbs me more or if it is the fact that when faced with their friend obviously in trouble, they prop her up by the toilet and go to bed. What kind of friends are these? I have to know, are they stupid enough to think that is alright or smart enough to know that they might get in trouble for drinking (thus being self centered enough to think that fact makes it alright).

Original story link...
http://ping.fm/NEgT2

I find it, disturbing the lack of supervision, the lack of caring of the friends, and the idea that something was so wrong in the girls life that drinking that much seemed like a good way out. What is worse, is that the parents seem to be acting as if it isn't their fault like it is the evil force of Blood Alcohol Poisoning that is to blame. Really?

Working on a final review of the MobiTV client for the Palm Centro, with that goes a slight review of the service itself, though research says the Palm client is the least worked on client they have. Also will be a review of the XM Radio app for the Palm Centro. Perhaps a little bit of a Palm Centro review (which I still have yet to do).

Digtalis Parentus

david.hagar@gmail.com — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:52:39 GMT

Recently a question was asked by a reporter of the Associated Press. It was a rhetorical question to be certain, and it was pointed directly at the online world. Or rather, how we - as people - interact in the online world. The question was - "What does a teenage brain on Google look like?" but it isn't just Google. It is the Internet as a whole, really, it isn't just the Internet though. The article was about research geared at discovering how our online and digital interaction is impacting our brains, those who did not grow up with technology as a primary source of communication many times don't understand the always plugged in nature of how those who did grow up with technology. The attitude of being plugged in all the time, available and connected.

Myself, I used to personally think this was a no-brainer. Of course it doesn't people interacting should be free to interact in any way that they choose. Why did I go there first? Well because the first thing those against such a life say is that being overly-online hurts social skills. At time time I had these opinions I did not think that this was the case. However, as I've gotten older from such a life my views have changed, they changed with the help of my wife who lead a very different life from mine. A life of social interactions, social circles, groups of friends, circles within circles and groups within groups. The true nature of human dynamics spread forth for her to learn. And learn she did. Learn, however, I did not. Time after time in my own social interactions I saw (and still do see) my wife breezing through while I stumble and have quite the time of catching up.

Now I think it is a no-brainer as well, but just the other way. People don't interact the same way online or even when not in person. This gets lost on people, especially those who don't know any better because they were never exposed to personal interactions between people. My lack of experience has hurt me over the years and her plethora of experiences has left my wife thrive in such places. And now, as I regain lost footing, I can begin to see it in others as well. People who spend an off-balance amount of time online and interacting in the virtual world without interacting in the offline (AKA; real) world. Note, I don't say wrong amount, it isn't right or wrong it is a choice. However, the lack of social interaction of that type has its drawbacks that people are simply unaware. Teenagers and younger kids are unaware of the differences largely and while this is fine (they are children and aren't in charge of all their own personal choices for this very reason) what scares me is that my generation, of people who got plugged in early and before people really bothered to study things, are now raising children with a large gap in the knowledge there. That being the important knowledge that excess in the online world means kids and teens learn all about online interactions and how to interact with people there, form social bonds there, etc... But that costs them, the ability to do the same in the online world. I fear for kids now and kids later, future generations taking things too far.

Science fiction has been done demonstrating a world in which people don't interact in person because they feel it is unnatural. People living in isolated apartments never seeing another human soul. This was on the fringe of science fiction, but now? I don't see people doing this now but I see paving stones placed for a road that leads there. People tend to feel that what they are not comfortable with is unnatural (true hubris, IMO) and any generation always feels that they are the first to do something, thus everything is a revolution in thought and everything is new and exciting - an undiscovered country to explore.

So what is the answer to my way-off-point-rant? Parenting. Our world doesn't like to tell children no, our world doesn't like to discipline children anymore. Some amount of control is required, children need to be forced to do what they don't want to do, watched and shown how good a balance is to maintained and how to manage time to both communicate online and learn that, but also learn how to relate in real life and the value that is there.

Alright, so this went all over the map on the subject and I'm tired so I am going to head off now. If this made any sense you are probably as insane as I am, be afraid.

Suits and Scents

david.hagar@gmail.com — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:38:06 GMT

I have been around a lot of co workers that, while working, wore some horrible perfumes. Some so bad that my rather allergenic nose really had trouble staying clear. However, while I didn't appreciate it at all there was always something in me that respected that persons right to wear what they want around me, even if I don't like it. As I get older, I seem to get more crotchety about it as well, thinks that bother me now didn't used to bother me, etc... However, even with this progression toward the unreasonable attitude of my elder years, I am appalled by an article I read in the AP Top Stories feed that a Judge in Detroit is allowing a co worker to file a civil suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act, even though he dismissed the persons claim that this chemical sensitivity impairs her ability to shop for detergents, speak, and interact with others. So, it isn't that big of an impairment but the case is still good? It is said that she has evidence to support this, I am kind of interested to know more.

The original story can be found at:
http://tinyurl.com/68ng2x

On a side note, having worked with people over time that I had to work with to get my job done and didn't agree with always - or even a majority of the time - I am inclined to believe that the person wearing the perfume (if the problem is big enough to file suit with) should have been able to see the difficulties and just, wore a different perfume at work. I mean, changing perfumes is such a trivial thing. In the case there was an issue with a deodorizer that was the same way, but the woman removed it. Be nice to your coworkers, you have to work with them daily. While I believe that the suit sounds frivolous, I also think it is unreasonable to not change to a more mild or lighter perfume if someone you work with every day has an adverse reaction. It promotes good office politics and while it can be taken too far, once isn't (or shouldn't) be a big deal. There is also the idea of how layered was the scent, etc... Lots of questions, I suppose they will come out on court now unless someone settles out. I think I am going to look into getting more information about this.

Christmas Tidings of Death

david.hagar@gmail.com — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:35:04 GMT

I just want it said, it is a sad day when people are killed so that people can get the best deals. In a county in a huge economic crisis, where people are loosing their homes right and left. Where banks have closed or been bailed out. When the major car companies are begging the government for more bailout money to keep their doors open.

What happens?

A temp employee at a Wal-Mart is trampled to death by an unruly crowd waiting for the best deals for Christmas. For this to happen, something is truly and incredibly wrong with the world. So a guy looking to get paid goes to work and never comes back so that shoppers can get Barbie dolls and iPods at huge discount prices makes me ill.

I say next 'Black Friday', kick it at home, go before Thanksgiving, or use the day of horror for geeks everywhere, 'Cyber Monday'. After all when was the last time the headline read - "Geek killed when online orders collapsed major eCommerce server."

McDonalds Kills Privacy

david.hagar@gmail.com — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:46:37 GMT

A few weeks ago I was reading the news on my cell phone, enjoying the wonders that are Google Reader and the AP Top Headlines RSS feed when a headline really caught my eye. First, caught my eye was that it was about McDonald's. I used to work for a franchise of the company and did so for a long time before I was finally liberated. Ever since I have always been interested in the tidbits of fast food news the major news outlets will give on the multi-national company.

I was mulling over an article about international politics when a flick ahead with the eyes revealed to me that this headline was also about nude pictures. Well, that was it. I quickly finished a skim of the serious article and went on to the next.

It is a wonder to me that this happened, evidently a man left his cell phone at a McDonald's in Fayetteville, AK. This isn't what I wonder about though, this happens all the time on any day of the week in locations all over the globe. The man in question called his local McDonald's who's management told him that they would keep it safe for him. So, he gets it back, all is fine right?

Wrong!

I suppose, I can understand the idea of this next tidbit... Well, no, I really can't. The man had nude images of his wife on the phone! I suppose in case he just got a serious need to see the glory of his wife's body at some strange time and memory failed him on what she looked like without a stitch on her. This isn't where it stopped, of course, why should we care what he has on his cell phone?

Well, the people at the local McDonald's thought that, well, in case perhaps there was some piece of national security evidence, or perhaps the location of the remains of Jimmy Hoffa? Perhaps the identity of who really killed JFK? Since all it contained were the images of the nude wife, they figured - what the hell - information wants to be free right? And uploaded them to the Internet!

Lets chalk this one up to the global problem of stupidity. Really, is it that common to keep home made porn on your cell? Goes to show... Everyone snoops, privacy really is dead.

To Hell in a Hand Basket

david.hagar@gmail.com — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:31:58 GMT

I have been trying to read the news of late, prompted by the ease of doing this on both my PDA and my cell phone. I have come to the definite conclusion that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Why?

Well, first off, you have the US government now having bailed out three major financial leaders. This comes during what is reported to be one of the biggest financial crises for the world since the great depression. Add to that the fact that I do not think, in any version of reality, that this is done on a purely altruistic level. I don't think it can be. I am not usually a nut-case about government policies and other such things. I don’t usually go off on a "they are going to get us" kind of mentality. However, looking at this from my point of view I have a question... If the government has a majority share in a major financial institution is there any due process associated with tapping into those records about not only American citizens but also citizens of other countries who have assets managed or insured by those agencies?

I suppose that doesn't even really scare me as much as the other possibilities. Those being the precedent for the government to bail out agencies and companies when the going gets tough, sets up an idea that if things go really, truly bad, there is recourse. If you have no money left and assets have been horribly mismanaged and enough people rely on your company, the government will issue a bail out. There is that and the fact that the government has been shown to be unable to manage finances either, hell in California the budget hasn't been approved for months because the governor blocks it entirely.

Israel is heading up to get new leadership, who knows how this will turn out. The US is now forming up its tried-and-true argument that a country has weapons of mass destruction for use with Iran. I keep wondering, the President being Commander in Chief of the US armed forces can deploy the US military without congressional approval for at least a certain amount of time. After all, this was part of the problem in Vietnam if I recall my American History courses. We never actually declared war. Can the still-President Bush get us involved in an Iran conflict before he becomes dead weight without the need for approval by a democrat controlled congress?

I would not put it past him.

As I said, to Hell in a Hand Basket.

Darkness

david.hagar@gmail.com — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 10:25:00 GMT

This journal is now going dark. Until I decide that people who read it are not going to trash my marriage. I love my wife, I want her to be happy and I'm not perfect, neither is she. I made the mistake of posting it here, I should have known better. I really should have, but I thought that perhaps people had learned from previous times. I should have been the one to learn. When I post here, I am not inviting people to judge my life, my marriage, or my wife. In fact, judging my wife is a real good way to get on my bad side very very quickly and for a very very long time. I post here for me. I post here to keep people updated. Ever heard of the concept that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all? How often do I go into the journal of anyone else and totally bash their life and anyone they love? I'd say, twice, I think. Give me the same respect, I need not your negativity. I need not your judgments, and I need not prayers from people who obviously think that my marriage is fucked up. I'm trying very hard to get my mind into shape for the life I want to live and the person I want to be, I fuck up, I don't need anyone telling me how fucked up it is that I am trying. I don't need anyone telling me how my marriage is dysfunctional or one sided or anything. If it is, so what? Maybe, just maybe, it is what I want out of life? Are you, any of you who read this, so mighty as they can judge me, my motivations, my mental health, that of the woman I love or anything? I think not. I know the stories of 99% of those who read this and let me tell you, of the lot of you only one person has ever given me sound advice on life and that person has never once posted judgment, passed judgment, or anything of the like on me or my life. At least the two people who usually judge my life kept quiet. To those two, kudos, you learned. You want to judge my life, keep it to your fucking self.
