2020-12-28 Pink Headed Duck

Ed is in town for the holidays, which (in addition to the holiday season) seems to have prompted me to be more social than usual :-) I think I've had dinner with others every night for more than a week (and lots of lunches too). Christmas was spent with my family.

I just finished reading "The Search for the Pink Headed Duck", by Rory Nugent (which is unfortunately out of print now), about his search for the duck in India, mostly Assam. I love travelogues, and this is one of the best I've read. I'm now reading "Drums along the Congo" by the same author. I also recently read a great book by a cyclist from Vancouver who cycled from China to Pakistan, and made a side trip into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, which was fascinating. I just about constantly want to take off on a trip somewhere anyway, but these books make it even harder to stay in one place :-)

I've been kind of lazy about categorizing the photos (and nuking the really bad ones) I've taken over the last couple of months, but there are a few really nice NewPhotos amongst the crap.

2020-12-12 Gleanings

I saw the wonderful film/documentary/poem The Gleaners and I at Cinecenta on Monday night. The film maker travels around France talking to gleaners, traditionally the people who go through fields after the harvest and pick up what is left. Her definition of gleaners expands to encompass gypsies, people who go through the garbage for food (including those who are not homeless), a chef who goes through the fields and picks wild herbs, and herself, who gleans images with her camera. I definitely will make it a point to see more of her films.

I've started reading "Lord of Light", by Roger Zelazny. It turns out that quote from the previous log entry is taken way out of context and the character who is saying it is using those words to make people forget what they just saw. It's a great book so far, a science fiction take on Hindu mythology.

2020-12-08 Growing Old

Sometimes it really disturbs me that, more or less, my development has ceased. After around the age of 20 more cells in my body are dying than are being born (does this happen to an ecosystem, or a planet, or a universe?). I'll probably be listening to the music I listen to now for the rest of my life. I may never truly grow to appreciate new (or old, but different) forms of music in the full aesthetic way I appreciate the music I grew up with, instead being able to appreciate it on a lesser mental level. I may never understand it at all. My way of seeing, hearing, thinking that developed when I was growing up is now wired into my brain. It is still possible to change, but it requires much more work. The older I grow, the more difficult it will be for new paradigms to take root and grow. This is the point in a human being's where he is supposed to have learned everything he needs to, now it's just a matter of breeding, settling into a routine of providing for the family. Well, I'm not ready yet! Did I waste my years growing up? Well, no, but I can't help but feel that making everyone go to school until they're almost fully developed is making them miss something they'll never get back. I guess it suits society, since everying will end up being more or less the same when fully developed. I guess that suits many people, and the ones it doesn't suit (like me) will go along with it, but do their own thing on the side. So it all works out in the end.

This rather amazing quote came up when I logged in today:

*... "fire" does not matter, "earth" and "air" and "water" do not matter. "I" do not matter. No word matters. But man forgets reality and remembers words. The more words he remembers, the cleverer do his fellows esteem him. He looks upon the great transformations of the world, but he does not see them as they were seen when man looked upon reality for the first time. Their names come to his lips and he smiles as he tastes them, thinking he knows them in the naming.*

-- Roger Zelazny, "Lord of Light"

2020-12-05 Ionian Dark Days Go Forth to Anarchy

I'm now running the best X window manager ever, called Ion. Completely keyboard controlled and doesn't support that useless feature of overlapping windows. It supports multiple workspaces, each of which can be recursively slit vertically or horizontally into frames. Each frame can contain multiple "windows", displaying exactly one window at a time. X has never been so usable, especially on my VGA (yes, 640x480 fixed sync) monitor.

My latest programming language of choice is FORTH. It's an incredibly simple, but very powerful stack based programming language. Kind of the opposite of Scheme, in that it's low level and reverse polish. But just like scheme in that it's elegant and expressive. colorForth looks cool too, but I haven't been able to play with it because my monitor is too crappy and it doesn't like my video card at work.

I saw the incredible documentary Dark Days last night, which I've been waiting to see since it came out a couple of years ago, about people living in a subway tunnel in New York City. On several occations I noticed that people in the doc refered to the places where homeless people live as "tribal areas," which I think is cool.

Right now in Victoria there's a dispute between a bunch of homeless people who were kicked out of a makeshift shelter, who are now camped just outside of City Hall in protest. I'm certainly in the minority, but I totally support the the idea of homelessness, especially when it's "kids who could go out and get a job." I like the idea of people that choose to drop out of mainstreem society, to forego all the things that we are taught make us successful. Perhaps one day I'll have the courage to be one of them. Of course I realize many homeless are there not by choice, and often are mentally ill, and I think that's totally wrong. A truly civil society would take care of all its members, regardless of how difficult that is (I guess that makes me a hypocrite; what am I doing to help?)

I think as soon as a community is larger than 30 or so people, it has to become unjust. When there aren't direct links between the members of a community, people stop caring for each other and worrying about the consequences of their actions. Laws mitigate this somewhat, but it's no solution. If people lived in small communities and most of their day to day interaction was within the community, I think overall everyone would be better off and happier. Perhaps civilization wouldn't "progress" very quickly, but happiness is more important than technology if you ask me. We would need to be careful to avoid tribalism, where people only care about their own tribe, but this could be avoided by forging links between communities and people migrating between community. Every community can have its own way of doing things, giving people much more freedom. People need to be able to move freely, to create new communities, to experiment with new ideas. Come to think of it, this is a lot like AurovilleUniversalTownship, and that place works really well. This has disadvantages as well, a lack of anonymity for one... but are the benfits of being anonymous so great?

2020-12-03 Movies in Vancouver

I went over to the lower mainland (i.e. Greater Vancouver) with Ryan and Cody and we stayed over at Steve's place. They mostly played video games, I spent Saturday wandering around Greater Vancouver and seeing a couple of movies. I walked from Coquitlam over the Pattulo bridge to Surrey (about 2.5 hours) and then took the Skytrain towards downtown Vancouver, stopping at stops along the way to have a look around. When I got downtown I went over to the library and picked up some bus schedules. Had an interesting conversation with a Hare Krishna girl and bought a translation of the Bhagavad Gita from her (which I've wanted to read for a long time anyway). Saw Kandahar, a film by Mohsen Makhmalbaf about a Afghani born Canadian immigrant who returns to Afghanistan during the Taliban's rule to save her sister, which was very good and had some stunning scenes (especially all the running men with crutches). I also wanted to see Ashoka, which I knew was in a theatre in Delta, but hadn't actually looked on the map to find the theatre. I mistakenly assumed that Delta ment somewhere around Ladner, and since I had some time to kill figured I'd catch the bus to Richmond and check out some of the Chinese malls, then continue to Ladner. As I was eating Congee and Yaohan centre I got out the map and found that the theatre was right on the border with Surrey. So a bit of quick thinking, two busses and the Skytrain later, I managed to get to the film on time. Took a little while to get used to the Bollywood style, but it was a good film about the early life on emperor Ashoka, who was very important in spreading Buddhism.

On Sunday we left back to Victoria fairly early, so nothing much was done. I actually wanted to stay in Vancouver and go to a Hare Krishna meeting, mainly to find out more about it. I really know almost nothing about the Krishna Consciousness movement, other than rumors and little comments from people. I felt I should experience it firsthand. However, in order to get back to Victoria on time I would have had to sleep at the ferry terminal, and I really didn't feel like doing that (glad I didn't, because it was a cold night and I would have been freezing).

Last week I saw Amelie, which was just absolutely wonderful. Jeunet just has an amazing way of making films; a lot of the scenes made me alternate between tears coming out of my eyes to profuse smiling. Just wonderful.

Just finished reading The Legend of Krishna, which I found in my parents' bookshelf, a retelling of the life of Krishna written in the style of an epic. It's good to finally know something about my namesake (Krishna is my middle name) beyond the little bits I've gathered along the way.

2020-11-21 Divided we Stand

I saw the movie Divided We Stand (yes, that's the real translation of the Czech title, not Divided We Fall), which is I think the best film about World War II I've seen, dealing with the treatment of jews, nazi sympathizers, people who seem to be sympathizers but are not, people who seem to be resisting but are not. It's very well acted, beautifully shot, very funny in parts (but definitely not a comedy) and comes to a beautiful conclusion.

I always notice in WWII stuff what a great sense of design the Nazis had. I mean, there flag is absolutely beautiful, many of there emblems also. They used a lot of interesting symbolism, such as the SS symbol, two lightning bolts symbolizing power, and the swastika, an auspicious symbol seen in many civilizations. Pity all that great design was associated with such an evil regime.

2020-11-20 Arr in veco ati ote

I found this very cool animation called All Is Zero and One at Adbusters.

I found it very strange that I had an immediate negative reaction to the Buy Nothing Day campaign, which I normally support (though I don't actually participate; I generally try to live simply and I don't see what's wrong with buying lunch from local people. I think the campaign is more symbolic to jar people into people to thinking about their consumption habits). Thinking rationally, the campaign is more important now than ever so that people don't buy into the propoganda of our government and corporations that we need to consume to win the "war", but somehow that rhetoric has still made it into my subconscious and totally influences my initial reactions to things. And of course there's the alternative propoganda that Adbusters espouses that also makes it into my subconscious. Altogether it's very difficult to have an original thought (I had one a while ago, but I can't remember what it was).

You can make cool sounding giberish by using the dvorak keyboard layout and shifting all your right hand fingers to the left by one key.

2020-11-19 Dynamo and Unicycle

I bought a unicycle yesterday! I've spent about an hour trying to ride it, I can kind of move forward if I lean on a wall. I'm very sore today, not from falling (I mostly fell on my feet) but just from being so tense (which was probably part of the reason I didn't do very well). Also got a couple of nasty hits in the shins from the pedals. I browsed the web for better ways to learn to ride, and have gotten some good tips which I tried out after work today. It's definitely going better today, I've changed to starting with my back against the wall and then just going for it unsupported (before I was going along the wall). My best run was eight feet before I lost it. The cycle seems to be scooting out in front of me, which means I'm not leaning forward enough. The ground is a bit wet from rain, so I stopped when my shoes were getting wet and I was starting to slip when I fell off (to avoid injury). One of the best mountain unicyclists in the world, Kris Holm, lives in Vancouver. Check out this video and the trailer for Unizaba.

I finally have a decent lighting system for my recumbent. Got an old fashioned dynamo system last weekend and spent about 3 hours in front of the shop installing it. It was almost dark when I left and five minutes into the ride the lights suddenly died. This weekend I went back to the shop and the guy wouldn't believe me that it was the dynamo that broke (I'd tested everything else and about the only thing left that could be broken was the dynamo)! He didn't seem to have much understanding of electronic circuits and just wouldn't believe me when I said it didn't have to be grounded to the frame (I had tried using the frame, but it didn't conduct electricity well enough to complete the circuit, so instead I used a second wire). Finally I got him to let me try a different dynamo and that one worked fine. It's not very bright, but at it beats my battery system that dies after an hour (real useful when I have to cycle 2 hours every day).

Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to unicycle to work.

Ryan had pre-ordered a Game Cube, which I picked up at the store yesterday. Pretty cute little box (especially compared to the huge X Box I saw at the store). I still like the PS2's design best, though. Games: Wave Race: blah; Rogue Leader: blah; Tony Hawk: looks pretty good; Super Monkey Ball: this game is so fun, I just love it. The multiplayer race is really good, I just wish they had more stages.

2020-11-18 Leonids

Met up with Alex, Natalie, Mark, Chelsea and her parents, and some guy who just showed up at the bottom of the Observatory hill and walked up to the top (a 15 minute very steep walk) to view the meteor shower. There were some really impressive fireballs, and lots of more normal meteors. The place wasn't the best, still way too much city light. Couldn't even see the milky way. At the top I lost my mom's car/house keys. The old little observatory has been dismantled, I think they used its dome for the new "Centre Of The Universe" planetarium/museum. The old building would be a pretty cool squat if you put in some doors and windows. Around 2:30 we walked back down, but I decided to go back up after everybody left, I felt it was too early for the night to end, and I rather than getting going home and having to find a way back in the morning I figured I'd just sleep up there and search for the keys in the morning. Also there were some other people up there and I felt like meeting new people, but once I was back up I guess they'd already left. When I got to the top I found the keys. In my pocket. But I didn't feel like going back down so I lay there in my bivy looking up until I fell asleep, with meteors whizzing by every few minutes. Mystical. It's funny, but even though I was cold and trespassing on federal government land, it's been a very long time since I've felt as comfortable and safe as I felt up there. I should have brought my thermarest up, because the ground was what made me the most cold. I woke up covered in frost.

2020-11-17 Novacaine

So, yet more movies. I just saw Novacaine at the Vic. Great "noir comedy" story with an excellent cast. Helena Bonham Carter playing another character kind of like the one in Fight Club, and looking really good. So on that basis alone I highly recommend the film :-) Steve Martin is great, not really in a comedy role (though it has some very funny moments). Good plot twists, overall a very good film. Not sure about the ending (the very last bit, that is).

2020-11-16 Man Pages, Harry Potter, Monsters Inc

There's a story on Fark about how people who went looking for informatation about their local ballet troup's production of The Nutcracker got porn instead. This reminded me of a story I heard about a Unix system administrator who was searching the web for some documentation. Unix's online help documents are called "man pages" (where man stands for manual), so he did a google search for "man pages" and ended up at "manpages.com". Guess what was there? His company's smut filter tripped and he lost his job!

I saw a matinee of Harry Potter with a bunch of guys from the office. While it was a good film, I have to say that there were some things that distracted me. On several occations during the film I saw pretty big holes in the plot, which is always distracting. The special effects looked kind of fake (too computer-y) in a lot of parts. There were some moments (like John Cleese's cameo) that may have made more sense to readers of the book (I haven't read it); in the movey it seemed pointless and not very funny. That said, it's a very entertaining film with some amazing sets and great characters. I was surprised when I looked at my watch when the film ended that so much time had gone by. It makes me want to read the books, mainly to get to know the characters better and find out what they do later... which certainly means the film was successful.

There was a great trailer for Monsters Inc, where Sully and Mike are playing sharades, and Sully is acting out "Harry Potter" (and Mike makes a reference to Star Wars). In ends with "Monsters Inc, playing now in a theater near you. Like, right next door," or something like that. Which leads me you mention that Monsters Inc is great. It's an absolutely perfect film, and one that I would not hesitate to recommend to everyone (there are many films that I love that I know many poeple won't like, and this is definitely not one of those). It's just total joy. It's 100 times better than Shrek, and Shrek was really good. I'm almost certain it will become one of my FavoriteFilms. Go see it. Now!

2020-11-15 The Party, The Tick, and Auto Rickshaws

Just watched The Party, which I'd heard about from a couple of sources recently. Very, very funny Peter Sellers film from the 60s, where he plays an East Indian who is accidentally invited to a Hollywood party and his antics. By the end the party is total chaos, with the whole house filled with soap bubbles, there's an elephant running around, and he's finds love. I love his narrow little three-wheeled car.

I also watched the new live-action The Tick series on TV, the second episode. I'm not sure if it was just because I was ready to laugh after The Party, but this episode seemed much better than the first (which was a disappointing compared to the cartoon (I haven't read the comics), except for the great part ontop of the building with the gum). Pity they can't use Spoon! or feature Speak in this version. I would have loved to see them have a pet Capybara for real.

The three wheel car reminds me how I wish it were possible to get auto rickshaw type vehices here (three wheeled motorcycles, basically) like are all over India and that you find in Southern Europe as well... especially the ones with a pickup-truck like area in the back. Seems like an ideal vehicle to me in many ways, but they just don't exist here (and I doubt you could get one registered if you brought one over from elsewhere). It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be a market for any smaller vehicles here (it's also difficult to find low powered motorcycles and mopeds... there are the scooters, but they're not very good).

I had to get up way early today to drive my parents to the airport (they just got back from Holland for my grandmother's funeral a few days ago, and already have to go to a prophets conferance in the Florida Keys). Since I have my mom's car while she's away, I took the opportunity to rent some videos from Pic-a-Flic (best video rental place in town) and watch them and some TV at the parents' place.

2020-11-14 Movies and what I did for my summer vacation

Yes, I've once again re-done the whole web site, this time as a wiki.

This weekend was amazing for movies. Three of the four films I've been especially looking forward to opened in town on Friday (grumble why does Vancouver get them so much sooner grumble).

The Man Who Wasn't There: I loved the whole mood of this film. Billy Bob Thornton's face was made for B/W. The bits about "Fritz's" Uncertainty Principle was great. "First he told them not to look at the facts, but the meaning of the facts. Then he told them the facts had no meaning." I love that line. In the scene toward the end where the car is flying through the air in front of trees, what kind of trees are those? I remember them from when I was walking around the Presidio and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, the lovely aroma they gave off and the way the light filtered through them. Is it a kind of Eucalyptus? It was cool to see Scarlett Johansson (as Birdy) again. She stuck in my mind from Ghost World.
Waking Life: I saw this immediately following The Man Who Wasn't There. I know some people got bored during this film, but I was enraptured throughout it. I mean, the visuals were stunning (though there were some scenes where they too obviously rotoscoped from a handheld camera... I didn't like that). Lots of ideas, most of which I've heard in various forms before but were great to hear in this package. I liked the structure, or lack thereof. I think my favorite scene was the "ant" scene, and I wish people's encounters with each other were more like that. My least favorite scene, oddly enough, is the one with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy who reprise their roles from Linklater's Before Sunrise, which is one of my favorite films. It's been a long time since I've seen Slacker, and I can't remember how much I liked it, so I definetely want to see it again soon. Dazen and Confused was excellent and I'm also looking forward to seeing that again. And Tape, hopefully that will show up in town soon.
Mulholland Drive: Definitely my favorite David Lynch film so far. I've always liked Lynch films for their strangeness, but that doesn't mean I really enjoyed them. However, this one was great throughout. It has a strange logic that doesn't make sense if you try to write it down, but made perfect sense while I was watching it.
The Heist: I also saw this, which was enjoyable and had some witty dialogue, but didn't quite satisfy me. I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer Mamet's films like State and Main.

Incase you were wondering, the fourth film I can't wait for is Amalie.

Since this is my first blog in some time, I should summarize what I've been up to.

About a month ago I moved out of my downtown apartment to a farmhouse in Saanichton, shared with 4 people, two cats, and two ducks.

This summer I learned a bit how to build with Cob, and I hope to do lots of that when the season starts up again in the Spring. It was through cobbing that I found out about the place I just moved into (thanks Robin!!) and have met lots of interesting people.

I did a cycle trip from Hornby Island, to Comox, to Powell River, down the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver, to Victoria, then back up to Hornby Island. Oh wow I can't wait to do more cycling trips.

2020-06-11 movies

before sunrise: i loved this film. ethan hawke and the lovely julie delpy meet on a train. he's on his way to vienna to catch a flight home to america, she's on her way to paris where she is a student. we watch as they talk, and as the train pulls into vienna he convinces her to get off the train and walk around him in vienna until his flight leaves. vienna is used as a backdrop, the film is all about their conversation and falling in love. at one point they make a deal that they won't pretend that they'll ever see each other again, they won't write or call (something people always say they will do, but it fizzles out after a couple of letters). there is really no plot, certainly none of the usual "romance" plot points. this film reminded me of so many encounters i've had while travelling. the incredible day long intense conversations that occurred with other travellers, especially while in india, because i know and she knows that we will never see each other again. because of this, there's a level of honesty and simple love that's rarely found if you meet somebody who lives in the same city. these are some of my favorite moments in my life, and i'll never forget the people involved, even though may not know their names. directed and written by richard linklater, who also made slackers and dazen and confused, two other excellent films. this is the film that i will hold up as an example of what a romance movie should be.
the cradle will rock: very good film about the making of the play "the cradle will rock" in pre-wwii new york, and so much more. amazing cast.

2020-04-25 movies

luna papa: this film definitely elevates chulpan khamatova to one of my favorite acctresses (what an amazing smile). i just love this kind of film... very much in the emir kusturica style. what is it about the light in these central asias and balkan locations? are the movies just filmed that way, or is that really how colourful the world is there? not to mention life... i don't know, even in a film like this which could be quite sad, there's so much werd funny stuff going on. is life there like this? or is it just unrealistic film making? all i know is that i'll have to see for my self one day.
the widow of st pierre: speaking of emir kusturica, my main reason for going to this film was that he stars in it. very good film, definitely not in the emir kusturica style! very dark and sad, with one of those amazing juliette binoche performances. lots of burried meaning. excellent film.
blast from the past: never really considered seeing this film when it was recent, but watched it on movie central. wow, what a wonderful little film. funny and original, just the right amount of romance. perfect.
fist of legend: see this if you like excellent martial arts with a great story. see it even if you don't. not one of those pointless violence type of films. wow.
dancer in the dark: it's official. i don't like lars von trier's films. i've now seen three, and i haven't at all enjoyed any of them. i always come out of the theatre feeling like i've wasted a bunch of time (especially since his films tend to be long) and would much rather have been doing something else -- anything else. this time i just left half-way through, which is something i've only done once before (with a particularly bad bollywood film). it just wasn't worth it to finish. i guess it's time to stop going to his films.

2020-03-17 movies

enemy at the gates: it's a good movie, but very... american. over-done. sappy love story thrown in.
in the mood for love: haven't formed that much of an opinion. worth seeing, in any case.

2020-03-15 movies

(haven't updated lately, and have definitely forgotten to mention some of the films i've seen)

tuvalu: definitely the best film i've seen lately, and i've seen quite a few. this film to me felt like freedom -- it just wasn't like any other films (though shares elements with films by caro and jeunet, and emir kusturica), the characters weren't like characters in other films... had some amazing scenes, like eva swimming in the pool holding a goldfish in a bowl. i loved the lack of dialogue. not to mention that Chulpan Khamatova is one of the prettiest girls i've ever seen. the settings in bulgaria are incredible... all the half sunken ships, dilapitated buildings, seemingly endless crumbling parking lots and roads to nowhere.
enter the dragon, chinese connection, fists of fury: good fight scenes, otherwise very little to recommend them. enter the dragon is definitely the best of the lot, and the only one i would recommend at all.
fucking amal: second time i've seen it, loved it again.
beau travail: not sure about this one. didn't particularly like it as i was watching, but by the end was very glad i'd seen it. beautifuly shot.
the killer: ?
hard boiled: not that great at first, but the insanely long action scene that is the latter half of the film won me over, not so much because i liked it, but because i've never seen something like that before
black cat, white cat: emir kusturica rules
possible worlds: not perfect, but well worth seeing
o brother, where art thou?: saw it twice. brilliant, brilliant, always love the coens' films. amazing music... the soundtrack isn't just a soundtrack, it's a character (possibly the most important character) in the film.

2021-01-14 movies

liberty heights: one of those perfect films that's just a great story, obviously based on real life.
state and main: great little film from david mamet. great philip seymour hoffman role (he's one of those actors whose presense in a film indicates that i'll like it)
the talented mr. ripley: average film -- good entertainment, but not much more.

2021-01-07

I'm putting together a mad plan. I've wanted to go to the Burning Man festival for years now, but have never made it. I've also wanted to do a bicycle tour for quite some time. Perhaps I can do these in some kind of... combination!

It is about 1300km to the Black Rock Desert from here, according to Mapquest. I'm guessing that I can do 100-150km per day, if I train beforehand (my cousin Jasper averaged 160km per day cycling from Edmonton to Victoria, so that's a probably a conservative estimate). So I'm guessing ten-12 days to get there. The festival is seven days long. Since lots of people from San Francisco will be there, I could probably get a lift to SF and cycle back along the coast. It would also be possible to pack up my bike and take a bus or plane back.

If I do the whole thing by bicycle, that means I'd be away for four or five weeks. Since I'm not looking forward to a month long wedgie and like to see something other than my front tire and the road, I'll probably use a recumbent bicycle. Since you have to be self-sufficient during Burning Man (which takes place in the desert) and there are no in/out priviledges, I'll need to be able to pack a lot of stuff, which means pulling a trailer instead of panier bags. An advantage of the trailer is that I could use it as a taxi at Burning Man, which seems like a good way to participate.

I don't think I've been as excited about anything since I first had the idea to live in Auroville (which I think is the closest thing to a Burning Man that's been running for 30 years, with all the compromises that entails).

2021-01-07 movies

traffic: good film, worth seeing, but not brilliant as i had expected.
gladiator: just.... a movie. not good, not bad. not very colourful.
the rock: i remember being really impressed when i saw it the first time. it's only a few years old, but it seemed very dated this time. the editing and camera techniques made it look like a upn tv show. also, serious plot holes (i think my disbelief was suspended better the first time i saw it). nevertheless, very entertaining.
