Text of the page (random words):
it worth her while to stay i kept on far longer than most of my fellow countrymen hoping that the management be true to their word and americanize but it was not to be in the end i ended up also leaving a company that started out with 60 american engineering and management and ended up with around 20 american participation in those roles due solely to attrition as a sign off i sent out an email to many people i knew there which i regret a little bit now in retrospect because it was perhaps unnecessary and because there there was a few who still believed the dream that one day you could advance in that company without having to participate in some of the korean traditions which were incompatible with my personal values and are just plain bad for business but it was an honest message coming from one who d made a huge contribution and who felt very dissatisfied with the reaction it really burned me out and i started my next job exhausted very disillusioned and quite unhappy with my career i sent this it s been real and it s been fun and well you know the rest the traditional adage of course is it s been real and it s been fun but it hasn t been real fun that s kind of how my blog has been it started out many years ago as an effort to express some ideas in a more cogent manner than speaking with friends and family who couldn t care less or might be offended by an opinion different than their own that perhaps it might find an audience that could build on those ideas or at least appreciate some part of them that s different than what most blogs tend to be today and that s okay i really didn t intend this blog to be a reflection on me rather just a very small collection of some of my observations but as i ve come to learn tis human to classify others and as a result perhaps this effort has made me even less understood by my peers though i don t really know i like what blogs have become though no longer someone s effort to forward or support some political social or scientific ideas but rather a means for family members and close friends to interact about their personal lives it evolution has allowed me to participate more in some way with the lives of my family and friends from far away or nearby i still also like to read the blogs that strive to be a lone voice speaking up against an unending torrent of heavily biased popular media with it s all too simplistic and predictable portrayal of world events i guess i m just a little tired of doing it myself and with the mass proliferation of blogs now such an effort almost seems completely wasted and ignored unless combined with the efforts of other bloggers into something with a daily punch it wasn t always that way i in fact deeply respect and applaud those who use their blog for such purposes we humans are after all far more than just a collections of cliques floating through space sharing all the gooey goodness that makes our unique clique so good and comfortable while ignoring the inter clique problems or letting others with other visions or ideals shape the future of our own world blogs that try to understand and solve the bigger picture problems tell me that the author is totally sincere about their own life and that they re honestly concerned about their fellowman and the world around them regardless of what their actual opinion is i hope they carry on the torch and especially those who don t tout the party line of the mainstream media since we live in such a lopsided world today i thought the internet was supposed to fix that well it hasn t and in some ways has made it worse the commercialization of the net has drowned out those voices with big money and powerful news and opinion oriented portals increasingly visited by gullible net surfers who are increasingly lazy with their news gathering efforts while the movement of dissenting opinions from traditional news sources have left those sources bereft of any sense of balance that said if i did do another blog entry i d call it faux hunting exploring how popular it has become to foolishly deride and despise the only professional dissenting voice among public media despite what you might think about it or maybe i d call it shooting the messenger with the very president of our united states stooping to new lows of immaturity and insecurity to become one of the worst offenders in this arena whatever happened to the good natured adage past presidents had of their detractors when they said thank heavens for free speech instead our executive government is rallying up an invisible force of anonymous supporters to make a list of critics under the misleading banner of identifying misinformation a euphemistically put tactic employed by community activists to dignify their otherwise dubious credentials while debasing their detractors but i ll leave that issue for others to tackle i m disgusted and i m done until i can figure out a more effective way to dissent maybe someday i ll join the corps of dissenting voices again though i doubt it any time soon or maybe i ll start up another blog at some time with a different audience in mind like my family and personal friends sharing stuff i really value on a very personal level but that would probably be password protected thanks so much to those who ve commented and taken the time to let my blatherings bounce off you you ve been too kind for more blogging goodness please check out my wife s excellent blog sunshiney soul which is geared more toward our family which friends and family will enjoy more anyway or the fantastic blog done by her and my sisters bossy dave comments 8 january 29 2009 free professional paint job filed under blogroll humor sociology lullabyman 6 48 am i m always out there thinking of the little guy and trying to help him save a little money especially in these hard times today is about how to get your car a new paint job and getting the insurance company to pay for it for you it s easily done it s called vandalism and you can encourage it as simply as putting one of the following bumper stickers on your car bbb bring bush back bipartisian schmipartisian blagojevich for president earth schmerth who needs it yippee we won in iraq i sold short on america and got rich hope ain t just a word it s a cliche i heart opec healthcare no or heathcare with a not sign impeach obama note use only if you need an entirely new car i heart hannity or limbaugh or coulter best of luck park it down by a university or starbucks or anywhere else where people generally tend to look angry or depressed and speak in condescending tones soon your car will get keyed or even better bashed beyond recognition next step file your insurance claim along with 3 of the most expensive bids you can find i hope you enjoy your new free paint job leave a comment january 7 2009 think your web colors are okay filed under programming technology lullabyman 10 48 pm sometimes you think you have a great website design and well a couple tweaks from an outside opinion can make a world of difference take this website for example www probertson com for demonstration purposes i hope the author hasn t changed it i told him it was problematic and he said he was too busy to take 60 seconds to modify his css file to fix it the website looks great really from a formalist standpoint from a purely aesthetic perspective i love his rich invigorating blue background color 000044 from a functionalist standpoint i find it painful fully saturated backgrounds are just plain bad despite how beautiful and invigorating they may be unless they re very very dark 000027 or very very light ffffe3 saturated colors are indeed beautiful and invigorating but when entire backgrounds are beautiful and invigorating they distract from the content don t get me wrong here i m all for fully saturated colors in sidebars icons borders titles header images header backgrounds etc but it s hard to read content when it s smothered in an invigorating background color when it comes to text backgrounds dull is good interesting saturated or any texture beyond barely perceptible is bad of course there s an exception isn t there always if the text background is in a small windowed box but never for large amounts of text the main course of a typical website add to that his gray text color and again it looks attractive but after reading his content for a minute and he has great content well i want to claw my eyes out a couple tweaks in paint shop pro and this is what i get attractive vs professional and friendly which image is more aesthetically pleasing is a matter of opinion i think most web designers would agree however that interesting backgrounds color wise or texture wise while attractive give websites an amateur look and feel you ll never see professional websites where content competes with the background it overlays that s why the version on the right intuitively looks more professional to most people that s not to say professional websites have to look boring take the americanexpress website both attractive and professional and one of the best looking websites in existence imho but if you want to add pizazz don t do it with a distracting text background for large amounts of text again small text boxes are an exception becuase there is less text to focus on whereas when there is a lot of text to focus on the reader must be able to have no underlaying distractions if you don t know how to tweak colors like this or don t have the tools and don t know how to change the colors on your website either don t fret irfanview is a free program that allows you to easily tweak the colors of an image print screen your website you probably have a key that says prtscr paste the contents into irfanview start irfanview and then click ctrl v and then click shift g to tweak the colors when you get the image the colors you like save it and send the image to your website designer or your neighborhood geek and they ll match or help you match the new colors comments 4 january 2 2009 new years resolution tickler filed under communications health lifestyles miscellaneous sociology technology lullabyman 10 40 pm how do you keep a goal forefront in your mind so you re always motivated to work on it i ve tried all kinds of things in the past as i m sure most people have quotes and reminders seem great but they eventually seem to become lost in the noise and get ignored i also don t like parading my goals around for everyone to see goals are personal the idea should rather be to keep goals where they re most visible to the goal setter and not to everyone else and to make it move shake or shimmy around and continually remind the goal setter of the vision that motivates them so this last year i came up with something that does that it s a little program that scrolls through a list of text and images that motivate me to achieve my goals it automatically boots up and sits on top of all other programs in the top of my computer where the title bar usually goes it can also be dragged around my desktop it also flashes at various times of the day to remind me to work on certain things it also gauges how much time i have left in the day starts out green turns peach below is a screenshot if anyone else is interested let me know i ve been thinking about making a version where the content can be added on the fly currently i have to recompile it with each change comments 9 december 29 2008 americans to blame for gm s demise filed under blogroll politics sociology lullabyman 11 24 pm i saw barney frank on tv last night yeah it was a channel surfing accident where i carelessly paused on msnbc thinking that the mindless hate fest going on there was a comedy central skit one channel over note to self channel surfing is hazardous to your intelligence he was ranting on about how gm s demise was largely the public s fault because the public kept buying gm s gas guzzlers until the oil spiked leaving gm with a glut of undesirable cars and no desirable manufacturing lines yeah apparently their downfall had nothing to do with their lack of planning despite years of obvious warning signs nor did it have anything to do with their relatively atrocious corporate structure compared to the competition and higher than average wages while their competitors were building more efficient cars and trucks he somehow feels it was the public s fault that gm executives focused only on the present and didn t prepare for the future despite the warning signs so america it s your fault that gm executives are complete idiots shame on you you can only redeem yourself by bailing out gm with flimsy contingencies they can easily bypass allowing them to maintain what got them into this mess otherwise a bankruptcy would force the restructuring and wages they need to become viable and competitive and we don t want that because that s not the barney way however barney s take should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with his part in the sub prime disaster that he also blamed on private enterprise and a lack of socialist oversight never mind that the bulk of gm s problems came from their socialist ingrained anti competitive corporate infrastructure that stinks remarkably like a federal government entity no wonder barney doesn t want that to change gm is his kind of company it takes a special kind of person to think like barney thinks a special piece of work that only massachusetts could put into congress again and again and again and again comments 4 december 1 2008 the dalai lama at odds with marriage family filed under blogroll christianity family lifestyles media media bias political correctness politics religion sociology uncategorized lullabyman 2 31 am i read somethings today that the dalai lama said that really highlighted what a clueless mindset comes from living like a hermit king i m not quite sure why the dalai lama is regarded as a great sage of wisdom but i wonder if another reason the media worships him while disparaging the original pacifist jesus christ is because of his anti marriage and anti family message the only people i know who honestly think celibacy is better than marriage because marriage involves sex are embittered losers who have a purely self gratifying interpretation of human sexuality similarly only self absorbed people who are clueless about human intimacy would think that attachment towards your children towards your partner is one of the obstacle or hindrance of peace of mind the dalai lama said both of these things though and nonetheless it seems he gets more respect and reverence today than any other religious leader dead or alive now i ll admit when you have kids that seem to be doing everything you ve taught them not to do including screaming and crying over practically nothing while in your face is anything but peaceful but peaceful surroundings is entirely different than peace of mind for example the times i had the least peace of mind were times when i was most detached from commitments ...
