Who knew John McCain was running to be the nation's Stand-up Comedian. During an interview this morning on NPR (transcript here) he basically says that comparing Obama to Paris Hilton was really supposed to be a joke.
"... I strongly recommend that people who don't find humor in that relax, turn off the computer and go on it and get some fresh air and try to regain some..." He was cut off at that point.
See, John was just trying to be funny. You know, ha ha. See, he was just kidding. As Ellen Degeneres says in her stand up routine, "..and then once you're upset they say, 'Just kidding.' As if that makes it all right. They were just kidding. 'Well, obviously you don't know how to kid because we both should be laughing.'"
For some reason I have visions of the McCain campaign pulling the online video of the ad and replacing it with the tag "Video deleted at the public's pantiwadulous response" (here's a link for those that don't get that joke, if they want to know).
So I guess I know now when John McCain says something so totally outrageous, he really did mean for me to laugh at it. And I thought I was doing that as a sincere form of sarcasm. Now I know it was for effect. Bravo, McCain, most candidates wouldn't have the courage to crack jokes like that.
Also, just because I'm sure with that first link some one, somewhere will be vanity checking. To Senator McCain, please sir, learn the positions of those who are working in and endorsing your campaign. To have Steve Schmidt make a quote in the WSJ and then you have to say you never heard that just makes you look amateurish. This isn't (by far) the first time you've had to distance yourself from either a key advisor or a key endorsement. The person running your vetting needs to have a talk, as does the person handling your campaign communications. People are so off the farm to be considered "free-range politicos."

Still gots all my balls
Well nothing was resolved tonight, so I still have all those balls to juggle for another two weeks. Damnit. Person from the public never showed up. The MARCS radio system was bounced back to committee (I need to do a post about that, severely not liking it as a citizen, as someone in charge of Safety I see it's benefits).
Also the dishwasher is still leaking. I took off all the front plates I could. There was a little water underneath, but not as much as I expected. I can't find a tub seal in the parts list. So it's looking like we may need a whole new washer. Will look under it during the next washing. After CLRing the washing machine it still drains slowly, so I'll need to do that again. I guess if home ownership were easy they'd just let anybody have one.

Losing My Religion
On the latest episode of Writing Excuses, the writing prompt, and the whole episode really, was on creating religions in world building. This matched to one of my notes I had taken recently (and I apologize, I can't remember what actually sparked this idea).
That which eats us has the power to instill religion and receives worship from us.
Most religious researchers see the start of religion at the same time we notice ritual burials. That religion is an attempt to explain where we go when we die. I personally think this is a post hoc ergo promter hoc error, but there does seem to be some concurrence with burial sites. Although, this may merely coincidence as much of what we know from early history is based around ritual burials (the other major trove are fireplaces and their attendant junk pits). I think it's safe to say, any religious artifacts would not be thrown away, and any that would be burned would be indistinguishable from the normal detritus found in fire pits.
For literary worth I offer the proto-man apes from Clarke's 2001 (the book, not the movie). After they learn from the Monolith how to kill, one of the first things they use that knowledge on is the leopard that stalks them in the night. The main proto-man mounts its head on a stick and uses this to instill fear in the other tribe of proto-men.
Take for instance the power of our collective unconscious when you think of bear, wolf, and cat. All of which have one time been objects of veneration, all of which in the modern age have been pushed to the edges.
That which kills us, we venerate.
The ancient Greeks called Zeus the "Benevolent." Now, if you know your greek myths, Zeus (a relative late comer to the pantheon, BTW) is anything but benevolent. The Greeks had appellations like this for all their gods. These name tags are meant to pacify the gods and direct them to behave in certain ways. Most cultures do the same thing. In western Christianity there is the phrase, "most merciful God," usually said when entreating him to be merciful to the practitioner when that practitioner is expecting to get smitten in some fashion (either by the God or by supposed God's enemies).
In modern Christianity, post Middle-Ages, there is the obsession with the after-life. That by pleasing God we can obtain life everlasting. Failing to please God means the big Lake of Fire consumption. You can see this fascination with God-baesd retribution in the ranting of modern televangelists.
That which does not kill us only serves to make us stronger.
AIDS, bird-flu, Ebola, and a host of other parasites and diseases instill fear in our modern minds until they become almost fetish symbols. But these aren't so much religions as they occupy niches in existing belief systems. They're given supernatural powers and attributes because of our fear response. Don't see this? How many of you know a person who either won't fly or doesn't trust "them Arabs" after 9-11? How many people had discussions about H1V1, avian, or bird-flu? There has been no instances of human to human transfer. If an avian flu makes the evolutionary jump to humans, it will be devastating, for the very reason that it happens so rarely we have little resistance. Oh, and thing the fear is gone, don't count on it.
Humans have survived many diseases. The cures are encoded in us (such as malaria in Africa), transfered by mother's milk (there's a whole parcel of good things that babies get from it), and we've made artificial progress as well. Many of the "childhood" diseases were once deadly to whole populations, and some still are. Most people, however, do get over chicken-pox and the like because those of us who survived the millennia are those who are resistant. Those who survive the 1918 Pandemic either weren't exposed, or had some form of resistance. So saying the next one will be just as bad ignores that fact. There were, however, whole populations never exposed before.
So where was I? Oh yeah, religions. So what would make a good fantasy religion? I'm thinking an animistic religion would probably work best. Start there, anthropomorphize a predatory animal, mix in various dooming characteristics and you'd have it.

Warp Factor 5, Engage!
Yes, Virginia, there is a Warp Drive. Based on the theoretical work of Michael Alcubierre, and if M Theory (aka String Theory) as currently described is correct it is possible to create a "warp bubble," or wing, and slide along space time at speed faster than light.
Of course there's several problems with implementation. One, we don't know how to manipulate the three standardly accepted dimensions, let alone the extra dimensions necessary in M Theory. So "magic" will have to happen here. And the calculated energy needed to change those dimensions is a serious hurdle.
But hey, we now have the white paper. So that stage is done. They'll leave all those pesky engineering details to someone else.
Two money shots of the article:
"'These calculations are based on some arbitrary advance in technology or some alien technology that would let us manipulate the extra dimension,' said Cleaver."
The scientists estimate the energy necessary to create the warp bubble is about 10^45 joules. "'That's... (the) energy you'd get if you converted the entire mass of Jupiter into pure energy... ,' said Cleaver."

Too many notes, Mozart
There comes a point in juggling, as the assistant is feeding more balls into the circle, that the juggler's brain refuses to process anymore. In fact, it hits the big "Tilt" sign and shuts down. All the balls come falling down.
After the blazing display of focus the other week with writing, I've been hoping to continue that. But there's too many balls in the air, and I get paralyzed and can't do anything. Tomorrow some of those balls will go away after the monthly meeting, hopefully not to be replaced with more balls. This week I hope to put two freelance projects to bed (and force a check out of a client I thought I could trust), fewer balls. The door gasket on the dishwasher didn't help, one more ball. But I cleaned out the float mechanism, which was all gunked up. One fewer ball (until we test it). I really hope it's not the tub gasket, or the water line (as I haven't figured out how to get under the thing without dismantling much of the front). More virtual balls. Yard needs work, chores need done, crime needs busted, all balls in the air.
I need to get back writing. The words are starting to eat me. And I'm bugging you all with my output (I don't want to count the past two weeks of blog output, that would be depressing).

Crow, it's what's for dinner
Hey look, John Scalzi won the Hugo for best fan writer. Congrats John. While I like David Langford's Ansible, I'm really glad you won. Having seen you at Confusion for several years I can say without hesitation that your fannishness is not in doubt and have used your Whatever to great effect to help other writers. You all should go congratulate him, and if you're not reading Whatever (and John's books) why the hell aren't you? It's excellent. Well done, John. And I'm sure this is the first of your many Hugos to come.
And now for the mea culpa. See, last year I was a complete dick towards John about his first nomination for fan writer. Armed with a complete misunderstanding of the Hugo's rules, I put on my asshat and went in swinging. Many other people, including Patrick Nielson Hayden himself, set me aright. The crow that day was very tasty (I make mine with a secret Tobasco Sauce recipe, it's guar-an-teed).

Every Rose has it's Thorn
Last week I was in Sam's Club, and I was looking at their Member's Mark Milk. Something was bothering me about the label. It took me a while to notice what it was. The cow on the label has no udder. Hello. Earth to graphic designers, cows without udders typically become hamburgers. Cows with udders produce milk (given the right circumstances, and then stand back). What does it say about the milk they're selling when the cows have no udders. No sure I'd want to drink it.
Conversely, there's this cartoon called Back at the Barnyard. One of the main characters, Otis, a boy cow (we call 'em bulls where I come from), has an udder. Um. And they say gay marriage will confuse the kids.
Now, since I normally criticize those in my profession, let me give a shout out to someone doing it right. Those wonderful people over at TCM have some very good visual designers working for them. I love their cut scenes, the monthly focus blurbs, and just in general how the non-movie visual of the station. It's fabulous.

Break and then Working Hard Weekend
Well, took a break on Friday night to watch the opening ceremonies. I didn't plan to, but it just kept me looking at the spectacle. Yesterday was supposed to be a goodbye party for the nephew heading out to USC. Unfortunately, the father-in-law refused to leave, so we ended up not going down (long story). Instead we went to the movies with wife and sister-in-law. We saw The Dark Knight. How the heck is that PG-13?
Lots of things going on in that movie, and for me, lots of laugh out loud moments (mostly from Heath Ledger's Joker). But the thing is intense. Very much so. The bat cycle didn't work for me (seemed too cartoonish). The lead up to the final confrontation with the Joker went on way too long. Over all it was a good movie though. Lots of subtlety happening (like how many people caught that the Joker knows who Batman really is). I'll probably end up asking for the DVD for Xmas.
Then we had dinner at Red Robin. I'll leave it at I only tipped 10%. That's rare for me.
So that left today to make up for all my avoiding work. Finished a few variants of logos for an old client and emailed them off. Then hung pictures around the house after all the painting was done (hung six new frames, had to use the ladder). CLRed the washing machine to help with tub drainage. Then I replaced the gasket in the dishwasher. That was fun. The main open area of the door wasn't bad. But under the door, where I couldn't see what was going on was a big pain. Took me twice as long to do those little pieces as it took me to do the rest of the door. Damn those Chinese and their little nimble fingers. It's been storming on and off since last night so no yard work could be done (the lawn really needs mowing, branches need lopped and chainsawed). There's always next weekend.
This week has meetings and more work work work.
So, hope you all had a good weekend.

Olympics in China
Okay, watching the opening ceremonies. Holy frack. That LCD panel, wow, just fargin wow. Now that is a nice piece of kit, and the usage (so far) has been spectacular.
But those Fou Drums. Does anybody out there know more about these. All I can get (after 15 minutes of searching) are all links to "hey look, they were used in the Olympic opener, discovered in a tomb in 2005." Yeah, great, thanks. Are these martial drums (used to call the order of battle, like some of those large bronze bells)? They look and sound like they could be (although being a standard musical instrument may not be out). Are they temple or palace drums? Just what are they. I can't find anything else, no archeological data, specifications, nothing. Yeah, I'm an ancient warfare wonk. Hell, how many of you knew that the ancient Chinese used bells to call the order of battle?
Oh, and because most commentators are missing it, there is a message in the opening ceremonies (I'm up to them finishing the "we were great mariners once" stage). It's "we've got the people. We have the tradition. You can no longer ignore us." It's a very nationalist message. And can I say that watching Communist China glorifying it's dynastic ages, mind boggling.

Can you hear the world's smallest violin playing?
Everybody believes in the Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand of the Market" until it comes around to bitch slap them. Now it seems the airline industry is square in the sites of that hand. Having slapped them upside the head at 9-11, the invisible hand of fuel prices has them on the ground and is continuing to slap the crap out of them.
Oh yes, that paramount triumph of will of Reaganomics is on the ropes. All that "free competition will drive down prices" is now driving them out of business. Oh sure, companies come and go; Pan Am anyone? And they can change business functions to say, cut out the travel agents so that the industry can keep more of the profits for their own scheduling services. And then they can eliminate everything from leg space (big one with me), to dinners, to even switching from peanuts to pretzels, to three pretzels, to "you don't really need anything anyway," to "why do you need luggage," and "oh, if you bring luggage, you'll need to tip the handlers because were not going to pay them." But, see, now they're all feeling the pinch, which is why they're attempting to commit "Death by Over Feeing."
And you know who is to blame? Why, you are. Yes you. I'm looking right at you. You, the consumer who wants actual service, expected those "savings through competition," needed on-time flights, demanded to be treated like a physical human, and worse yet, played the pricing game exactly the way they wanted you to. Yes, you're forcing the airlines to fly full planes that they loose money on. You bad consumer you. (Really, read to the bottom of that first article from NPR, it's all your fault.) So the airline industry doesn't want to charge you fees for wanting a seat and seat belt when you fly, no, they're really nice people who love their wives and children and play with their dogs.
Maybe it isn't so much of a invisible hand as a steel-toed boot.
Can you tell I have no sympathy? This is a "You made your bed, now lie in it," moment. And yes, I believe that is Tchaikovsky's Serenade Melancolique.

Open Anthology Calls
For all those writers out there, in case you missed them.
John Joseph Adams (aka the Slush God) has announced an open call for his anthology "Federations." This is your basic Space Opera set up. Five cents per word up to 5000 words, not shabby at all. Plus, John is a nice guy.
Eric Reynolds over at Hadley Rille books and Jay Lake are editing an anthology called "Footprints." They announced the basic story is aliens find out footprints on Earth's Moon. Humans are long gone. What do these aliens make of this? Flat payment of $40 on publication for 4000-10000 words. Eric has been doing some good work, several short stories he has publish in his anthos have been nominated for awards.

Sweet Esoteric Order of Dagon, WTF is this?
(via Matt Staggs) Someone has been naughty and I really wish they would have been nice. They made a travesty movie called "Cthulhu." As most of you know, I have a deep and abiding interest in such subjects. However, this isn't about Cthulhu, this is about the Deep Ones. From "Shadow Over Innsmouth" (if memory serves) comes this retelling. Certainly HP's writing would need to be 1) modernized and 2) have real dialog added, but I'm not sure this is the movie that does it well (take a look at the "awards" screen, recognize any of those? I didn't even know there was an HP Lovecraft Film Festival). And can you really trust a movie that has the wrong frickin' title?
When will someone make "At the Mountains of Madness" (although wiki says it's for 2010)? When I saw the opening of the trailer to "Aliens vs Predator" I was all happy, until I saw what it was really about? I guess "Shadow Over Innsmouth" is one of the few stories that could be made into a movie easily (most would make excellent short films, although some of the FXs budget would be exceedingly high, "Color Out of Space" anybody? "Rats in the Walls"? " "The Dunwich Horror"? Although Night Gallery did "Pickman's Model") Although looking at the wiki article on HP, I guess a lot of his stories have been adapted ("Shadow" and "Dunwich" being the most adapted stories). I'm so behind the times.
