Wow!  Twenty-one!

I’m in a place today where I can post lyrics to this song without (probably) crying — shout-out to those intimate enough to grok that, and a louder one to those who know why — so I should take the chance.

The End

What were all those dreams we shared
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road?

More than friends, I always pledged
‘Cause friends they come and go
People change, as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old

Slide on next to me!
I’m just a human being
I will take the blame,
But just the same
This is not me
You see
Believe
I’m better than this

Don’t leave me so cold!
Or buried beneath the stones!
I just want to hold on
And know I’m worth your love
Enough
I don’t think
There’s such a thing

It’s my fault, now I’ve been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don’t let me go!

Help me see myself
‘Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
I yell –
It’s hell –
But no one hears

Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown future’s ear

My dear –
The End –
Comes near –
I’m here –
But not much longer

[Fuck.  Ed, you bastard.  So close to making it without tears.  And you ended an album with this.]

In the immortal words of Johnson, “I remain, &c.“,

Vedder Tuesday

[No, really, Johnson would literally write "I remain, &c.."]

For what it’s worth, even with the 2.0.1 firmware upgrade that (as of this writing) iTunes will insist on putting on your iPod if you restore it from a Windows box, you can get it working on Ubuntu Karmic.  The trick is the program ipod-read-sysinfo-extended, which you execute after attaching (and initializing) your iPod with the drive id and the mount point, for instance, ipod-read-sysinfo-extended /dev/sde /media/IPOD.  This writes an XML files to your iPod.

You may need to run the program with root privileges

I’ve been trying to think of something spectacular for the twentieth Vedder Tuesday, for the milestone.  But, in all, I think I was thinking about it backwards: multiples of ten are arbitrary, and I should have gone with my intuition of choosing without regard to the milestone.  So I’ll choose relative to the grief-inducing — real grief — of the right-wing gains this week.  They declared the culture war.  I think we’ve had enough.  Now they need to get their own scars.

Whipping

Don’t need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don’t need a raincoat, I’m already wet
Don’t need a bandage, there’s too much blood
After a while seems to roll right off

Whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping

Don’t need a hand, there’s always arms attached
Oh, don’t get behind, I can’t fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don’t want no change, we already have

Whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping

Don’t mean to push, but I’m being shoved!
I’m just like you, think we’ve had enough
I can’t believe a thing they want us to
Oh, we all got scars, they should have ‘em too

Whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping
They’re whipping

Back next week — and maybe even on time.

Woot?  You know, Woot?  That wacky corner of e-commerce where, each day, they offer (many of) one wacky item and write snarky copy to get people to buy that one thing?  Once in a while they’ll grab a bunch of their odds and ends and sell them, without disclosing the contents, as a “Woot Bag of Crap”.

With me? 

A Woot Bag of Crap just saved the life of someone in Haiti during the earthquake.

If this random weirdness gets you in a place the former news hasn’t, there are links to donate to charity on the Woot blog where this story showed up.

As sick as the Scott Brown win in Massachussetts makes me — I love how Republicans, self-styled patriots, flee to the anti-constitutional technique of filibuster whenever it looks like equality is on the horizon, as if 41% minority were somehow a majority — this AP text makes me all the more nauseated:

Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Coakley’s loss won’t deter his colleagues from continuing their practice of blaming George W. Bush’s administration … Wall Street watched the election closely. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 116 points … Across Massachusetts, voters who had been bombarded with phone calls and dizzied with nonstop campaign commercials for Coakley and Brown gave a fitting turnout despite intermittent snow and rain statewide

Since when did the Associated Press start allowing Bill O’Reilly to write wire service copy?  They even fell for “tea party” being grassroots.  And NPR posted it rather than their own content.

Now with a 41% minority and astroturfing, millionaires are going to be allowed to tell tens of millions of other Americans and me that we don’t deserve health care.

Here is a recipe for printing 8.5″ x 11″ pages four to a page (two landscaped on the front of each sheet, 5.5″ x 8.5″, and two on the back) such that when the pages are folded perpendicular to the long axis, they form a booklet that one can flip through.

1. Print the document as a PostScript file

Open up whatever program you want to print from: oowriter, acroread, evince, firefox, gedit, whatever.  Go to File→Print (or equivalent), select “Print to file”, choose “PS” as the format, give it a filename (I’ll assume you choose “document.ps”), make a note of the directory you’re printing it to, and click “Print”.

2. Get the PostScript utilities and viewer you need

In Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install psutils evince

3. Rearrange the pages in booklet order

psbook document.ps document.signature.ps

4. Render the files “2-up”

psnup -l -pletter -2 -s.65 document.signature.ps > document.2up.ps

Option #1: Your printer prints double-sided

Just open document.2up.ps in evince (evince document.2up.ps) and print it.

Option #2: Your printer does not print double-sided

pstops "2:0(1in,0in)" document.2up.ps > odd.ps
pstops "2:-1(1in,0in)" document.2up.ps > even.ps
evince even.ps odd.ps

Print odd.ps, flip the pages over, then print even.ps (Keep track of how your printer flips your paper.  The direction the top edge is facing will stay the same, but you may have to load the pages face-up the second time, or maybe face-down.  Tip: make a small mark with a pencil on the top surface of the top page in the paper tray.  After printing, look at the page you put your mark on.  Is the text on the side with the pencil mark?  Load the pages face-down for the second pass.  Is it on the bottom?  The pages get flipped internally, so load your pages face-up.)

OK, so, once again we come across McGee’s First Law, which states “Everything is more complicated than it at first appears to be, even when McGee’s First Law is taken into account.”  This is occasioned by McDonalds’s reintroduction of Styrofoam cups for some of their beverages.

“Eeek!” some of you have said.  I’ve heard you.  Three vowels, a stop plosive, and a bang.  Gotcha.  So many of us for so many years shunned polystyrene.  We’d crumple if an event used Styrofoam cups instead of, say, Solo cups.  We might not even pour a cup of coffee into a Styrofoam cup, but punch into a red “plastic cup”?  Sure!

So, a few things:

1. Polystyrene is no longer produced with CFCs.  Those are what were destroying the ozone layer, not the plastic itself.
2. We’re not supposed to burn polystyrene, right?  Cancer?  Well, that’s still true — some nasty PAHs are released — but with a high enough temperature of a furnace, burning polystyrene is cleaner than burning a lot of other things.  The biggest nastiness is the carbon soot.
3. Polystyrene is recyclable.  Check the bottom of the clamshell in your refrigerator.  It’s “#6″ — PS.  Most of it is not recycled, because it is so bulky relative to its weight, but there is a dearth of polystyrene scrap such that that the construction industry, which could consume a great amount of it, has to buy virgin PS to make into groundsheets and filler.
4. Here’s the kicker: Solo cups are also polystyrene.  For real.  Check the resin identification code if you don’t believe me.

So, “more complicated” indeed.  What I recommend is that you recycle PS (especially if you have a place within walking distance, which I do), but don’t buy it — “Styrofoam cups” or “plastic cups” — for your parties.  What do I suggest?  Well, polypropylene (“#5 plastic”) rocks.  It’s what Rubbermaid containers are made out of.  It’s easily recycled, is strong, durable, resistant to heat, moisture, and corrosion, yet is more easily broken down by UV rays than many other plastics.  You can get polypropylene cups at the 99¢ store for, um, 99¢, but the best choice for me is a fast-food joint, where you can also get them for about a buck, and they’ll even throw in a free fill-up of Coca-Cola for you!  (Polypropylene is what the “plastic drink cups” are made of.)  If you don’t go to fast food “restaurants”, go to their trash bins.  If that’s icky, go to garage sales, where you can usually get them for free, or a dime apiece.  Wash them, store them, give them to guests at parties to use.  If you are embarrassed to do this, I don’t think you’ve really grokked the whole recycling thing yet.

When the film Dead Man Walking was in production, director Tim Robbins commissioned tracks from a number of artists for the soundtrack.  Vedder shows up twice, once with a version of “Long Road” and once on a wonderful track called “The Face of Love”, both with the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.  This week’s VT is a song that was passed over in favor of Bruce Springsteen’s (much less impressive-to-me) “Dead Man Walkin’”.  My favorite moment is when it is ambiguous whether “across” or “a cross” is being sung.

Dead Man

Sailing on my every step
Inching off of the earth
It’s magnified by the things I’ve done
The thing that I’ve become

Every lift of my hand –
Coffee cup up and back –
Is magnified by the things I’ve done
The things I’ve seen, the things I’ve caused
I’m a dead man walking

The hammer that I once brought down now hovers over me
Casts a shadow, across/”a cross” onto me

The hallways are all mocking me
What I’ve become — they’re all mocking me

I’m a dead man walking.  A dead man walking.  A dead man walking.
I’m a dead man walking.  Dead man walking.  Dead man walking.

Same bat-time!

All Vedder Tuesday

Having gotten a humorous wrong-word error in a text message spelled out with a cellular phone number pad, I started to wonder about collisions of this sort in general.  What keystrokes match the most words?

Well, I turned to my trusty bigwordlist.txt, a big dictionary file I pieced together from multiple places, particularly orchy, and I wrote a Perl script to look at it.

If a phone were to have this dictionary (there are a lot of reasons it shouldn’t, mostly because a lot of the words are of much lower frequency than others) there would be more than 20,000 collisions — places where the phone would have to guess, whether by a stupid algorithm (“pick the lowest alphabetically”, say) or something more sophisticated (“rank by frequency of occurrence in the wild”) or something very sophisticated that took grammar into account.

Here are some facts I found:

* The most troublesome sequence is 2666.  That can stand for ammo, amon, anno, anon, bonn, bono, boom, boon, cmon, comm, como, comp, conn, coom, coon, or coop (16 possibilities).
* The most collisions for two-, three-, and five-letter words are for 66, 466, and 46637 with 13 possibilities each (that “66″ — “[mno][mno]” — shows up a lot, yes?)
* My mom’s allergic to shrimp, so would that make them a “non-mom-nom”?  Spell it out.
* A lot of long medical words collide, because the ending “-ia” is the same as “-ic” in T9 (“hypercholesterolemia”, “hypercholesterolemic”).  Below that, “-ser” and “-ses” and “-zer” and “-zes” in verbs cause a lot of collisions.  The longest not-trivial pair looks to be “unreasonableness” and “unseasonableness” at 16 letters, but I’m not sure those are standard usages.
* Any requests for more info?  Raw files?

• Borrow Bush rhetoric? If the Christmas Day bombing attempt delays closing of #Guantanomo, terrorists WILL HAVE FUCKING WON. #

So, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this question, and I think if I were to spend a year studying one book of the Bible, it would be Hebrews.

Atheist Josh, huh?  Year with one book?  I’ll get back to the general question at the end, but specifically, this book is fascinating.  What an incongruous (nicer term than “fucked up”) Christology.  I haven’t spent a year on it, but as far as I can tell, it was directed to early Jewish Christians.  It tries to syncretize the OT and NT, and it … kind of fails at that.  Granted, it’s pretty much impossible to do that, but with some (fairly deep) reflection on hypostasis, it tries to have Christ be both “son of God” and “high priest”.  Except the latter doesn’t really work with the Gospels.  If this were modern genre fiction, we’d call the attempt “ret-conning”.  Bonus points for the attempt.

I am left wondering how this was accepted into the canon in the first place.  Surely there were people who would have said — “Um … the NT works better without this in it.  Or with just this in it.  Thoughts?”  And I’m repeatedly amazed that the fiercely eschatological stuff wasn’t redacted.  I mean, by the fourth century C.E. it was pretty clear that any generation alive in Jesus’ day wasn’t around any more, right?

Here are some of the (my) highlights:

• This is where English gets both “a little lower than the angels” and “a shadow of good things to come”, which are simply awesome poetic lines.
• I’m pretty sure that 8:6-7 is the origin of the Narnia “deep/deeper magic” bit.
• 12:8: If God doesn’t hurt you, then he clearly isn’t your father.  Editorializing here, but: that’s messed up.
• 12:29: “our God is a consuming fire”.  13:20: “[our God is a] God of peace”.  There’s not even an attempt to separate them in the text.
• By writing this post, I am guaranteeing that (10:28-29) God is going to kill me without mercy.  Just FYI.

I know my Dad’s going to be reading this, but I think this is appropriate to do publicly.  I used to attend my Dad’s weekly early morning Bible study.  But I’m kind of … not welcome any longer.  I mean, I’m totally welcome in lots of senses, but … I guess it’s analysis that’s not really welcome.  That’s not a diss: my Dad is totally down with analysis, and he knows his shit.  But the old dudes (they’re all old dudes) in the class: not so much.  I’ve been ribbed by a venerable member, outside of class, that I’m missed, but that the classes tend to stay more on track without me.  Mentioned in a sincere haha-only-serious way.  And I think: “On track?  What’s more on track than discussing what we’re reading?”  But — again, not so much.

I broached this with my Dad, and the answer occurred to me in mid-sentence: “Wait; is it a devotional group to them, and not at all a study?”  In the broad strokes, he confirmed that.  Again, no diss to my Dad.

As to the general question: why the hell is atheist Josh contemplating spending a year studying one book of the Christian Bible?  Well — I’m kinda damned if I do, damned if I don’t, am I not?  There’s a lot of our culture and nation that’s still pretty die-hard.  When I debate Christians, they frequently fall back to telling me I need to “study more”, and frequently to “find a Bible study”.  And my response in general is “Dude: done that.”  I spent 18 years immersed as a believer, and I’ve done (reasonably) advanced studies of the Bible.  In fact — and this is bizarre — often more than the Christian has.  And almost certainly more extrabiblical reading about the Bible than he has.

So, y’all, both atheists and theists: your choice for a book to study for a year?

1985:  Stephen King publishes the short story “Ballad of the Flexible Bullet”.  It describes a writer’s descent into paranoid madness.  When he moves into a new home, he doesn’t have a phone installed; he has discovered that phones run not on electricity but on radium.  There is a bit of radium in every handset, and the radiation is responsible for the increased cancer rate, not smoking or car exhaust.

2006: In the midst of brain cancer scares, Stephen King publishes the novel “Cell”.  It describes a pulse sent over all cell phones, turning all those talking on the phones at that moment into homicidal zombies who bite out the throats of everyone they meet.  In the introduction, he explains that he refuses to have a cell phone.

Um.  Yeah.

Niall and I were visiting one of his game sites on the Web, and in conversation he sighed and complained that his mom (my ex) always checks his browser history.  And my mouth was already open to say “That’s easily defeatable: you can clear the browser history, and then you just navigate to a site that you’re allowed to visit,” and I thought “What the hell am I doing?!”  And shut my mouth.  Thank goodness for an introvert’s staging area for sentences before they are uttered.  There are interesting engineering problems, and then there are well-advised parenting techniques, and the categories are distinct.

I haven’t been sleeping in a cardboard box (it’s more of an aluminum box) and it was fairly cruel to poke fun at that situation.  So, as has happened before, contrition through Vedder Tuesday, the lyrics of which are almost impossible to understand when sung.

Even Flow

Freezing, rests his head on a pillow made of concrete — again
Oh, feeling maybe he’ll see a little better set o’ days
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain’t that familiar
Oh, dark grin — he can’t help when he’s happy, looks insane

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know so he chases them away
Oh, someday, yeah, he’ll begin his life again
Life again
Life again

Kneeling, looking through the paper though he doesn’t know to read
Oh, praying now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feeling — understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings few and far between all the legal halls of shame

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know so he chases them away
Oh, someday yet he’ll begin his life again
Oh, whispering hands gently lead him away
Lead him away
Lead him away

Oh, fuck your money!

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know so he chases them away
Ah someday yet he’ll begin his life again
Oh, whispering hands gently lead him away
Him away
Him away
Yeah

I’ve thought about just posting the following set of Joe Fawley lyrics (Tally Hall, “The Bidding”) to an online dating service as my profile.  It couldn’t actually get me any fewer inquiries, and has the advantage of being really, really funny and uncomfortably close to “true”.

I’ve been sleeping in a cardboard box
Spending every dollar at the liquor shop
And even though I know I haven’t got a lot
I’ll try to give you lovin’ till the day you drop

I graduated at the top
I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie
So if you have a fantasy of being a queen
Maybe you should blow a couple bucks on me

I hope Cristina & co. will forgive me for posting an mp3 of one of their songs in the clear, but I really need help on this track:

Lacuna Coil — “What I See”, from Karmacode

Could you download that mp3, if your conscience is OK with it?

OK: what the hell is going on with the rhythm guitar at the beginning of the track and at roughly 1:26?!  I don’t know nearly enough about music to answer that question.  The drums are setting down something I can count — just a “one and two and” — but the rhythm guitar seems — relatively prime to that time signature?  There’s other weird time stuff in the song, including everyone just freezing at the same moment, which I adore, and the drums shift several other times to a “one two three rest“, which is — syncopation?  Seriously, help.

Sidebar: Yes yes yes, I know I was multiply teased when I brought up Lacuna Coil the first time.  Yes, there’s no cred there, I know.  It’s not that I don’t like Opeth and Celtic Frost — I still listen to Blackwater Park, I still listen to Into the Pandemonium, and I still Speak Truth to Power Metal — but I like me some Lacuna Coil, too.  You’ve gotta at least give them that the song I’ve posted is more complicated than would be expected were they just bubblegum metal.  (That last sentence, in the colloquial conversational compound subjunctive mood, was my gift to you.)

Plus, of course, there’s this:

What can I say? I’m a sucker for gorgeous busty foreign goth altos.
