Airplane doodles on my Galaxy Note II phone. I always planned on using my phone to draw more but it only seems to happen while flying, and that's not very often. I started the ogre the last time I flew to New Mexico over new years. I just finished him up a little more. I did the girl during my two hour flight home today. Someday I'll do more drawing. Maybe if I get the Note 3.
sticky notes from the Barisan National supporters for the candidates participating in the 2008 State Election at Bangsar area.
I find this note written on a white sticky note very straight forward.
good luck candidates!

I can't believe she took the time to write this, fold it, put it in a
plastic bag to protect it from the rain, and then taped the bag so it
was the same size as the note. This from the lady who parked in the
same spot a few weeks ago, preventing us from using our paid parking
spot.
PS. Morgan's car wasn't even blocking her "walkway." A 400lb man with
a fanny pack could've squeezed through without a problem.
A posted note left by my fiancee on my window before she left for her parent's home 3500 miles away.
Playing the piano has long been an act,
of great grandeur.
From the greatest composers of all time,
including Ludwig van Beethoven and all the rest.
Playing the piano well is an and will be,
an eternally respectable practice,
not to mention a signal of intelligence as well.

Note: This is also known as the Chosin Reservoir, where LTC Donald C. Faith was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor with the 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment.
The display reads:
D Battery, 15th AAA (AW) Battalion, Changjin Reservoir, Nov – Dec 1950
By late Fall 1950, UN forces had retaken nearly the entire Korean Peninsula, pushing the North Korean Army northwards, almost to the Yalu River separating the peninsula from China.
Diplomatic relations with China had been severed in 1949 after the Chinese takeover, and therefore Chinese warnings to the US through third party channels went mostly unheeded.
The first Chinese attack on US forces occurred on 1 November when the 1st Cavalry Division’s 8th Cavalry Regiment was largely overwhelmed by massed Chinese infantry assaults. Intense combat resulted in nearly 800 US and an untold amount of Chinese losses. However, by 6 November, the line was quiet again and the Chinese attack was written off as an anomaly.
To the 1st Cavalry’s right, the US X Corps (1st Marine Division and US 7th Infantry Division) pressed its advance northwards later in the month with the Yalu River as its ultimate objective. However, on the night of the 27th, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army struck X Corps on both sides of the Changjin Reservoir, cutting off the two US Divisions and forcing a fighting withdrawal that has become one of the epic battles in US military history.
D Battery, 15th AAA Battalion, under Captain James McClymont was a key part of the 31st Regimental Combat Team, the 7th Infantry Division’s lead element. Tasked with providing air defense support for the 57th Artillery, D / 15 AAA brought heavy firepower that could be used in the direct-fire role as well. Aware of the 8th Cavalry’s fight earlier in the month and expecting enemy contact, Captain McClymont ordered his crews to draw double their standard ammunition load prior to moving out with the 31st RCT.
From 27 November through 2 December 1950, D Battery’s M16 Halftracks and M19 Gun Motor Carriages repulsed numerous attacks on friendly positions with .50 caliber and 40mm fire. The Battery was instrumental in affecting the withdrawal of the remnants of the 31st RCT back to friendly lines. For their valorous actions during the Battle of the Changjin Reservoir, D Battery personnel were awarded two posthumous Distinguished Service Crosses and more than a dozen Silver Stars, making D Battery the most highly decorated AAA unit of the Korean War.

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain (Coast Artillery Corps) James R. McClymont (ASN: 0-1059196), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while Serving as Commanding Officer, Battery A, 15th Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons) Battalion (Self Propelled), 7th Infantry Division, in action near the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea, on 28 November 1950. On this date, the Battery Captain McClymont commanded was providing close support fires for infantry and field artillery units in positions east of the reservoir. From his location at the Battery Command Post, Captain McClymont learned that the Command Post of his first platoon was under exceedingly heavy enemy fire and was in grave danger. Captain McClymont called for volunteers to form a patrol to go to the rescue of the platoon headquarters and then led the patrol to the vicinity of the action. He saw that his patrol was far outnumbered by the enemy attacking force, which was firing automatic weapons, small arms, and mortars and was throwing hand grenades. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Captain McClymont exposed himself to almost certain injury or death by leading his patrol of one officer and six enlisted men quickly into close combat with the enemy. Under his cool and aggressive leadership, the patrol killed or dispersed all of the enemy in the vicinity. Captain McClymont himself killed a number of the enemy. As a result of Captain McClymont's personal daring and resourceful leadership, the patrol rescued one officer and six enlisted men who were still alive, and recovered the bodies of one officer and four enlisted men who had been killed. Captain McClymont's display of gallantry on this occasion was in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant First Class Robert M. Slater (ASN: RA-34929995), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with Battery D, 15th Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Anti-Aircraft) Battalion (Self Propelled), 7th Infantry Division, in action at the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea, on 28 November 1950. On this date the gun section of which Sergeant Slater was the leader was in close support of two field artillery units at a point on a defense perimeter. Sergeant Slater emplaced his two self-propelled weapons so as best to cover the routes of approach being used by the enemy to attack the perimeter at that point. Between the hours of 0030 to 0730 on this date the enemy attempted to pierce the perimeter by repeated rushes with small arms, hand grenades and Bangalore torpedoes, in an effort to knock our Sergeant Slater's weapons. Although he could have exercised command of his section from the comparative safety of a foxhole or inside one of the armored vehicles, Sergeant Slater, with undaunted courage, voluntarily exposed himself to intense enemy fire by going constantly back and forth between the weapons, directing the fire, passing ammunition, encouraging the gun crews, assigning and instructing replacements for casualties, until he himself was wounded in the face by shell fragments, although this did not stop him. As a result of his high devotion to duty and his extreme personal bravery, his section killed at least one hundred enemy and the integrity of the defense in that vicinity was maintained. Sergeant Slater's heroism, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant Grantford R. Brown (ASN: RA-16249353), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with the Battery D, 15th Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons) Battalion (Self Propelled), 7th Infantry Division, in action near the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea, on 29 November 1950. On this date, the M-19 gun carriage which Sergeant Brown commanded was defending a sector of the defense perimeter established to protect elements of the 37th Field Artillery Battalion. Between the hours of 0030 and 0730 the enemy made repeated attacks against Sergeant Brown's position. In spite of very heavy enemy mortar, automatic weapons, and small-arms fire, Sergeant Brown exposed himself without regard for his own personal safety in order to direct the fire of his weapons more accurately. By courageously moving on the ground to various positions of vantage he was able to direct the fire to enemy targets which were most dangerous. After being hit in the leg by a mortar shell fragment, Sergeant Brown valiantly stayed at his post until the attacks by the enemy ceased. His outstanding and devoted leadership caused the enemy to be killed in large numbers and forced them to abandon the attack. Sergeant Brown's display of gallantry on this occasion was in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

The pages of my Field Notes notebook are coming loose at the staples. Time to switch to a new one, I guess. I think I have some new blank notebooks around here somewhere.
.
The Zebra F-701 fine-point pen isn't my favorite to write with, but I've never had one leak in my pocket, which has been an issue with gel and roller ball pens.
.
I needed some working-on-stuff trousers. Several of the belt loops on my inexpensive denim jeans are broken and the knees are worn through. I thought I'd try a pair of Wrangler "carpenter pants."
.
After nearly a month of daily wear, the Seestern DOX01 wristwatch is proving to be an adequate "tool watch."
.
Amusing comment I read online today, specifically about pocket notebooks but applicable to pretty much any "boutique" product:
"'You haven't heard of it and they're impossible to get' died out with the hipsters in 2019."

Miscellaneous notes on this:
- other possible notes to Apple:
I didn't pay enough for my iPad 2. Here are two more dollars to compensate.
We are learning that if each Apple goodie cost two dollars more, the conditions in Chinese plants would be right and proper. I mean this money to help and hope you will charge more from now on.
- can you think of a good note? please add your ideas in the Comments window, below.
July 2, 2012-
This page was published in the May edition of YES! Magazine- issue 62.
___
- George mentioned a problem with this idea that would limit the response: Americans are mad at China for taking our jobs and don't want to help them.
- fair enough, but our problem is with policy makers in China and American corporations. we're not out to hurt Chinese workers. ( in fact, there are tent cities outside of Chinese plants, filled with people waiting to get these awful jobs. it's a mess from both sides. )
- in fact, if conditions improve in China, some jobs will come back to the States.
- that is already happening in cases where rising shipping and labor costs are changing the equation. see next page...
___
- one of the awful policies of Chinese management is to pay low wages in order to force people to work more hours. talk about a devil-deal.
___
- i have an odd connection to this problem:
- in 1984- the first year of the little, stand-up Macintosh- i was an Apple developer.
- i made the first scanned image software for the Mac that came from outside the company. we were shipping in March. ( it was called, "Clip 1". )
- Apple liked it.
- they ordered four hundred copies as Christmas presents for their factory workers. that factory was in Silicon Valley. *
___
- you can bet that the PR department at Apple approached management a year ago- or four years ago- with the problem of working conditions in China. they advised that it would be cheap to make it right, now, and expensive to play catch-up later.
___
- [ i didn't mail the note in the picture. saw a typo and made a text correction. the rewrite goes like this:
"Hi, Apple Folks-
I didn't pay enough for my iPad 2. The working conditions at Foxconn make that clear.
Please apply this money to the problem and charge 2 dollars more in the future."
I think that Apple marketers will object to a price change that goes above the standard "$1.99" tactic. On the contrary, running the price above the standard is a plus in this case. The word will get out what the extra charge is about. Apple has an expensive PR problem. This is a cheap solution.
___
- the Foxconn factories in China make products for Mototorola, Bell, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, and others.
___
- a performing artist and journalist, Mike Daisey, went to China and stood outside of a Foxconn factory in Shen Chen and talked to workers as they came out.
- Daisey says there are two issues: wages and conditions:
- wages would be ok by local standards if they were actually paid. they often are not.
- as for conditions- given that the cost of assembling an iPhone is about $6- coming into compliance with [existing] Chinese labor laws, … "is going to cost A COUPLE OF DOLLARS".
Source: radio show on NPR: "Your Call" yourcallradio.org/ - search 'apple'.
Mike Daisey speaks of this between counters 22:00 and 22:33.
- i sent the 2 Dollar pages to Rose Aguilar, the creator of the "Your Call" program on NPR.
- she sent more info back to me: "The same goes for Wal-Mart. If you add about 40 cents to your purchase, overseas workers would be paid a living wage. Thanks, Rose."
___
Feb. 18, 2012- George sent me new info from WIRED: of the two problems- wages and conditions (which includes safety), Foxconn has made a gesture to solve part of one of them- perhaps to quiet criticism:
www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/02/foxconn-raises-pay-of-fac...
___
Feb. 20, 2012- New York Times reporter says on NPR, this morning, that Foxconn has improved some of the wage problem and, now, some of the conditions problem in their factories. Foxconn is known for ignoring Chinese law but there may be some change coming.
___
- i have two Apple devices that were made in China, so i'm sending a second envelope:
Hi, Apple folks-
I didn't pay enough for my wonderful Mac Mini. Please find two dollars, enclosed.
If I had paid two dollars more, the working conditions at Foxconn would be fair and honorable, and your developing PR problem would disappear.
Around 1989, I designed in-house and TIE icons- static and animated- for you. I conceived the comic Hypercard animation for 'selling' Space Shuttle arms- the one where the arm picked up a button on the screen and turned it to read backwards.
I have owned many Macs and have influenced at least ten other people to go the Mac route and let Windows twist in the wind.
I love Apple.
Please make this right and charge two dollars more from now on. No one will notice on our side of the Rim.

* - [ only a quarter of the Apple order for "Clip 1" was filled- 100 copies. but that is another story.]
So yesterday when it was time to go to school, Jessie was busy doing something and I told her to stop or we would be late. In a nutshell, I upset her.
This morning while having breakfast, she handed me this note and said she was sorry. She then proceeded to bury her face in her hands, ran to her room and cried her eyes out. From what I gather from reading her note, she went to school yesterday and thought to herself that I was stupid (that's the s word) and that she hated me. I guess the guilt overwhelmed her. Jane said she came home from school last night and told her about it while she cried her eyes out to her. She really has a guilty conscience.
So I went up stairs and spent the next 10 minutes trying to calm her down. I asked why she was crying. She said because she didn't want me to be sad. I told her I wasn't sad, but I just wanted to understand why she felt this way about me. She said she didn't want to tell me. I'm pretty sure it had to do with me not letting her do whatever it was she was doing before we left for school.
Man, I'm in serious trouble. I dunno how I am going to handle the teenage years. :D lmao.
The post-dark age mad purchase rush has finally settled down. I spent the first half of the year panic-buying LEGO sets, and now I'm experiencing a bad, bad case of buyer's remorse.
I never really expected to go back to collecting and playing with LEGO. I don't know, it's like a brick (ha. ha.) hit me out of nowhere and the next thing I know, I'm picking up boxes and boxes of LEGO at the toy store as if they were cheap candy. I strayed away from my core interest themes and bought a lot of sets out of curiosity and just for the heck of it (6193 Castle Building Set, anyone?).
While updating my inventory last week, I realized that by recklessly buying lots of small- and mid-sized sets over the past six months, I've missed out on the big ones (e.g. Cafe Corner) that I really wanted but have always dismissed as too expensive.
So now I trimmed down my to-acquire list for the rest of the year to a semi-manageable three big sets. I'm planning to sell some of my other old and new sets as well. Not an easy thing to do, really. I'm still having a hard time stopping myself from going to the LEGO section every time I pass by a toy store.
i know it's slightly silly and cheesy, but we like to leave little notes for the other to stumble upon.
those little reminders are nice.
Scans of some papers we found in an old Latin Grammar textbook.
you may use this in personal art projects. ;)
