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. ;)

It’s a sugar coated version of XP that conflicts with my video editing programs. Microsoft has made it harder to move files with no “move” feature. They have taken away the windows picture viewer and gif images don’t work without extra software.
The switch to box wouldn't let me switch mto moizilla on a download for an upgrade to snagit.

Installing windows 7 signature edition on 32 bit and 64 bit. I had to wipe the 32 bit because 7 wouldn’t recognize windows 7 RC. Install of fresh 7 took About 40 minutes. From Vista 64 bit 7 copied and saved programs and data of @ 400gb on my lt and @ 80 programs in @ five hours! That was nice!
10/10/2009 9:39:53 PM
Wipe 7 32 bit because of ati problem. Starting re install
To ready desktop:
10/10/2009 10:08:59 PM
A wipe did not fix the ati glitch on a reinstall.
Windows 7 changed back to windows 7 basic color scheme and the tuner came back on. I had just plugged the tuner into Laptop 2 64bit vista and ati 650 worked. Then all of a sudden the tuner started working again on my 7 lt. Weird coincidence.
10/14/2009 4:21:42 AM
Uninistalling Roxio and using a windows basic or Aero theme in Display settings then re-installing the 650 program over the existing install made the 650 work for me again. I dare not mess with Windows TV tuner!
For those with simple need that don’t need a TV tuner I sugest Windows 7 Ultimate. For those willing to troubleshoot your ATI tuner I also suggest Windows 7 Ultimate!
10/14/2009 11:23:51 PM
A windows 7 update today caused the ati not to work again. It plays but is slow.
10/17/2009 5:16:59 AM
I had to reverrify my activation key on the 32 bit.
I can only network 2 machines that are both on 7.
10/17/2009 10:12:32 PM
A clean uninstall of the 650 then re-install AFTER re-installing roxio fixed it so far.It’s working with roxio now. Roxio’s TV tuner and the ati tuner are working. If you put in ati first before Roxio then Roxio won’t let you install ati.
Hp 7350 photo printer won’t work with hp laptop 64bit and 7 desktop 32bit. No compatible drivers I have found so far have helped.
I can’t figure out how to sort icons in Quick launch with 7.

I love taking photos <3 teeheee hi everyone!
A bunch of quirkyness for this Friday. A Post-it Note found on the car next to mine at the Starbucks in Stafford, VA.
We had a beautiful day at the Point San Luis Light for our meeting. Then we all walked a little way on the Pecho Coast trail.
I am just getting back into cross stitch and embroidery after a 10 year break. The new work out there is so interesting and inspiring that I have decided to create my own series of cross stitch pictures based on things that I say to my son. Every time I utter one I realise that I am turning in to my mother!
Note one is "Don't say what say pardon" , charted at www.stitchpoint.com.
the plane, a 737 was spotless inside. Not a mark, on surfaces or fabric (compared to somewhat shabby marks and wear and tear on US airline interiors). Not one dead trapped insect stuck in a windowed coffin between the inside and outside window of your seat (look next time, and how DO they get there to begin with).
Soon after takeoff we bank to the right to head south across the coast of sydney and the state of new south wales (NSW), over canberra (the national capitol area) into melbourne in the state of Victoria (VIC).
"Afternoon refreshments" in economy class said the announcement once in the air. Wow. Complementary wine and beer (mixed drinks A$6). Ignoring the fact the beer includes Fosters things were good. The "snacks" provided were good too. A joint packet of cashews and apricot. Large portions. Good quality. As the ingredients list, contents 100% cashews. Yum.
Cabin staff, in economy, smiles, friendly, want to help clearly.
Also walked around offering apples as snacks. Good apples. In a huge basket that must have had about 30 apples in it. I wanted to take a picture but I was laughing at the sight.
I LOVE the orange tablemat thing they give out too. It's a perforated nice-feel absorbant material. Its a tablemat. It's also a bag for trash afterwards so as they walk through doing pickup it takes seconds. It's also a napkin. It's a great tablematnapkinbag idea.
It also contains inside a wetwipe and stirrer for drinks that's twice the size/length of the US ones.
Sunsets. I've noticed the sunrises and sunsets occur very quickly here. Like within 15 mins and it's suddenly light, or dark. Must be the hemisphere and season (last week of winter). It's chilly enough at night i had to go buy a coat. My fault for thinking australia, sunny, its august, it will be hot.
Flight time 90 mins. Sydney to Melbourne. Quantas CityFlyer. $
Airport. Terminal 3 sydney. Bigger than National (DCA). Quieter but I realised its the people who go about their airporty stuff with less of a presence or noise. Folks just a few seats away on a cellphone have what appears to be a habit of covering their mouth with their other hand so their calls are not public (and hence quieter). A full flight doesn't have a gate boarding seat area where there are no free seats. Even the gate agent counter area is turned 90 degrees from the US standard so folks queueing are lining up in the area not out into the corridor. Terminal 3 is dedicated to quantas domestic flights. From arriving to boarding was never asked for any photo id. Why does showing some form of unverifable photo id help us with flights in the US?
New Zealand Maori queen laid to rest today. Queen Te Atairangikaahu (Dame Te Ata) reigned for 40 years, lacking any constitutional powers but beloved of the NZ nation. Before europeans arrived the Maori were ruled by many chiefs, their monarchy only came about after contact with the British. New Zealand - originally Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud - was not colonised by the British in the way Australia was.
The natives, descendants of the Polynesians, often reacted violently to foreign visitors, begining with Abel Tasman in 1642. Captain Cook took possession of the islands for Britain in 1769 - without consulting the natives. The presence of the fierce Maori menat the British preferred and went off to colonise Australia instead.
But foreigners were drawn to New Zealand. British, French and American ships began making regular visits. Mostly whalers, seal hunters and traders. The Maori became part of their trading network and acquired tastes for european and american goods and a knowledge of Pakeha - non-Maori culture.
By 1830's foreign settlers were buying large amounts of land and the numbers of Pakeha had increased to such a point that the British goverment decided to annex New Zealand. Naval officer Hobson negotiated and they agreed to cede sovereignty to the British in exchange for a guarantee of ownership of their lands. Formalized by the Treaty of Waitangi of 1840. Initially NZ was part of the colony of New South Wales but in 1841 because autonomous (with Hobson as Governor).
By 1845 open warfare ensued from chiefs. By 1847 and the First Maori War they realised better to have a consolidated approach. They sought to emulate the unity and disciple of the british and so started the Maori King Movement.
For the first time in 1966 a princess was chosen to ascend the throne and Queen Te Ata became a symbol not only of her people but for NZ women. Long may she rest.

"Key Note" sculpture by Michael Christian at the 2015 Maker Faire in San Mateo, California. You can buy the materials but the inspiration, vision and hard work are #ThingsMoneyCannotBuy.
The sculpture stands 4-meters/12-feet tall and is dragging a large key by a chain made up entirely of hundreds of keys.
