What Moses Wants . . . and Other News

Having gone a long while without watching television, I allowed myself an indulgence the other day. . . a schmoozfest of sorts: an entire afternoon and evening of television watching. This occured only because I was without net access.

An initial run through the channels verified what I'd assumed: that I had not been missing much. But then did I come across the shuffly-footed comic animation of South Park. This particular episode featured Kyle and Kenny as they were off to summer camp. Though, this was not just any summer camp. . . this was a summer camp especially for Jews. And what Jewish summer camp would be complete without an appearance by Moses himself?



CHIEF ELDER Great and honorable Moses, what do you
desire from us, your children?

MOSES I desire... I desire... macaroni pictures.

CHIEF ELDER Yes, yes, yes, the macaroni pictures
are coming right away. Uh, anything
else you want from us, O great leader
of the people?

MOSES I desire... popcorn necklaces.

Here is transcript of the episode, aptly titled "Jewbilee".

In other news, I have been pondering entropic migration patterns. And after all this pondering, I've decided I shall move North. Either back to the the Northwest, or to the Northeast; I have not yet decided. It's a difficult decision. I love the Northwest. . . all the trees! And rain! The Northeast, however, is one area of the country I've not explored. I imagine it to be all quaint and fun to explore . . . but crowded, which seems a wee bit scary. But I am brave and tough and smart, so maybe not that bad.

Have not written much lately, as evidenced by this poor, poor blog! . . . this being back in S. Utah is not exactly inspiring, so the planning phase has been officially initiated. A tentative start this is. And now, perhaps I shall inquire for some suggestions at < secret online forum >. . . and, just maybe, a poll.

Celebrating artists and veterans alike: those who do not work for financial interests

  My paternal grandfather -- whom I never met -- is buried in Golden Gate cemetery.  His headstone says "U.S. Marine Corp" and "WWII". I mentioned in my introduction post that like most veterans and undercelebrated Navajo Code Talkers of his era, my grandfather did not dedicate his life to serving financial interests . The war on fascism enabled womens' rights on this continent.  My maternal ancestry has a significant chunk of Native American -- or, as we prefer to be called, "indigenous", and I was his first grandchild, despite the fact that my dad was not his oldest son.  Also since it is relevant to how we refer to time -- my parents were never officially married. My mother, being of indigenous peoples, did not believe in those certificates with incorrect time stamps issued by County-based courthouses, or in what their idea of "official" is.  She always knew her grandfathers and great grandmothers had been on this continent longer than Co...

The Native American wage gap and Why I will NEVER hire an Agent

  "I am not writing or selling a book; I just want to help make yours better." This is what it means to me to be a Technical Writer.  Let's whittle your ideas into clarity.  This is where my technical mind is priceless; my diverse background experienced in "pretty much all" (yes, all) of the computer-based technology-related technical fields that make use of "software", as well as my "better than average" vocabulary gleaned from many scientific fields -- my smarts can make you seem smarter than you otherwise would seem.  If you're good at what you do but not necessarily proficient in English, I can lend the kind of smarts that will sharpen the focus of your papers, sell your books, get more "clicks" on your headlines, or make your resume the one the company looks at longer and with more interest.     Uploading... Yes, I really did offer $Roku Inc (ROKU.US)$ support back then -- when the Gen 1 box worked best with an Ethernet ...

If I could have a conversation with Larry and Sergey today

  Since I lived in Silicon Valley way back when Larry, Sergey and Marissa were getting their recently-IPO'd company off the ground, I did my due diligence on them all way back then ... as a college grad, I liked and trusted all of them to do what they said they wanted to do with the company.   Especially that "don't be Evil" part.   And like most people who camped or resided within a CalTrain ride's distance to $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ Mountain View campuses, I would have loved to work for Google back then.  There is no doubt in my mind that a majority of things would be totally different and better for the majority of people alive today ... if you guys had only given me a team and a chance.  Like I told everybody in the column about All the Native American Leadership Missing in Corporate America , I am who you need to hire to sustain your business -- not people who respond to damage on their ego with physical violence.   The absurdity.   Living on ...
