Music

This is sooo wrong. You don't have to be an idiot to conclude that one should never buy music again. The record companies already make tons, and it's surprising that they wouldn't at least be willing to give up a little since so many consumers have been dl-ing music. I think the costs of making a disc with music amounts to definitely no more than 2 dollars. The CD's themselves are cheap, and with an initial investment to do mass copying, that doesn't cost much either. Since albums are sold anywhere from 10-20 dollars, they are making a heckuva lot of cha-ching. And now, Sony BMG hides spyware software under a program that must be downloaded in order for the CD music to actually be played. EVIL! PURE EVIL! I hope the law punishes them severely for this breach of trust and teach them a good lesson. Stop being so greedy yo! It is a deadly, deadly sin.

We managed to win one softball game this past weekend. I didn't play, and that's probably the reason, haha! Seriously though, we have some excellent players on the team.

Two pics below taken on my camera: one of the team and the other of Morris and I.

M's first art installation

My son and I went exercising at the gym this morning (Feb. 2, 2019). We had physical and mental workouts, and I was full of pride to see him put together this exhibit. He called it, "Train." The work is abstract, with the cone symbolizing the engine and the ball can be pictured as "balls of steam" that roll out of the chimney or exhaust system! Train

This weekend sucks!

So the Yankees are facing an uphill battle against the Angels. Hope they pull out of this one. The game today was pretty intense. Down 5-0 then went up 6-5 only to be beaten 11-7. Ugh! I don't know, they just lacked the stamina to pull things through today. Then again, I don't fault them. NY has a pretty tense weekend with the bomb alert, and I pray that all will be well. After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...

Did X say that?

I was cleaning out old draft emails when I came upon these quotes. 1. “Set your goals high; make friends with different kinds of people; enjoy simple pleasures. Stand on high ground; sit on level ground; walk on expansive ground.” 2. In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit . -Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate (1875-1965) Both quotes resonated with me, and both quotes provide profound, provoking, prose projecting providence. But for the first quote I'm not sure who to attribute, and for the second, while I'd like to imagine he said that, I'm not really sure if Dr. Schweitzer did (because I have never met him!). In the internet age, I think it really behooves one to critically analyze everything read online. Does X make sense, did X say that? Sometimes it...
