2007-09-23 15:11  Productivity and the Beast
This morning I got up nice and early, having spent the night in. I hauled ass outside and did some long-overdue yard maintenance. Mowed, ripped out the zinnias, weeded the zinnia bed, moved the tarp off of the as-yet-unplanted bed, put cardboard down over all of that, and moved some compost to where it should be. It had been deposited in the wrong pile, see. Oh, btw I have a "secret" blog now. It's password protected, and it is going to be the place where I pour out my sturm und drang more priva …

2007-09-20 23:00  Moral Fiber
I saw a really promising article about hedge fund managers and real estate in The New York Times yesterday, and I thought, "Goody! Now we can see how the hedgies are adjusting to the new market realities." I settled in with my coffee and roll for a nice helping of Sturm und Drang, a great wailing and gnashing of teeth, and a clash of Titans as the Irresistible Force of Hedge Fund Ego smashed against the Immovable Object of New York Real Estate. Instead, I got Woody Allen and Alan Alda bickering …

Neil Bush screwed up the S&L industry with the same shenanigans. Now the Chimp is saying taxpayers shouldn't bail out bad businessmen. (The earth's gonna open up and swallow me up for agreeing with the Chimp on any thing.) The point is, it's pretty obvious that the Bush Crime Family's attitude is "we stole ours fair and square. If y'all were stupid enough to fall for it again then just f* ya." Thanks, Brad and Mel, for your efforts. The predation needs to be stopped cold or we'll be going throug …

2007-09-02 02:40  The Coming Health Insurance Crisis
There may be another crisis brewing in health care finance.  In the early 2000's, health insurance premiums were increasing by ~10% per year.  The increase in premiums was greater than the increase in health care costs.   Why would insurance premiums go up faster than health care costs It is because health insurance companies make most of their money from investments ( 1).  In the early 2000's, their investments (along with everyone else's) were not doing so well. Of course nobody knows if the s …

A reader sent me a link to the CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) Scam site, which is great. It will become a part of my daily read. In the particular link she sent, there was a video of Michael Jacobson, the director of CSPI, making an appearance on Steven Colbert's show. Colbert, of course, made Jacobson look like a fool, which he pretty much does with everyone who ventures onto his show. But his making a fool of his guests only works if the guests don't go along with the joke an …

2007-08-28 14:55  Postscript of NHK Forum 2: Inseparable Alliance between Japan and the United States
In an NHK TV program on Japan s pacifist constitution, broadcasted on August 15, forum attendants discussed US foreign policy and US-Japanese relations. This is an important issue to reconsider the pacifist constitution, because changes in global security environment provoke this debate. Also, it is the United States that hopes to change the pacifist constitution, in order to step up the alliance with Japan. While we were talking about this issue, both rightists and leftists criticized US foreig …

"It was inevitable that the federal prosecution of Michael Vick would be twisted into a case about race, that white America doesn't understand that dog fighting is a "cultural" endeavor. Dog fighting might be explained as cultural, but it can't be excused as cultural. If savage cruelty of any kind is part of anyone's culture, then right-headed, clear-sighted and foresighted people should spend their time, energy and authority trying to change that culture as opposed to explaining it, excusing it …

The List Kind of Sucks, Huh Last week I initiated The List of plays and playwrights that "make the community stronger, more caring, more inclusive, and more hopeful." Part of my reasoning for this experiment is that often that which is theoretical isn't practical in any "real world" sense. Also, I was having a sincerely difficult time coming up with examples on my own. Finally, I find that most practicing artists have an unjustifiably antagonistic relationship with Scott Walters, the theater pro …

Long a cornerstone Neue Deutsche Welle collectable, this seminal slab of wax largely documents the more strident and vingery end of the NDW continuum. Aside from containing essential early P16.D4 material (still in rock fragmentation mode at this early stage), this also features vital contributions from Christoph Anders' pre-Cassiber unit Toto Lotto and the exceedingly bleak and crabby No Aid, both of whom have had releases posted on MS. Elsewhere, Jean Gilbert contributes the dourest slog throu …

With bright lights on the ceiling and a mask over my face, I smiled my last conscious breath in. It would be the last thing I remembered for 3 hours - how happy and calm I felt in that suspended moment! I breathed through the plastic as I thought of people around the world, at home playing loud music, dancing like it was their last dance on earth, and thinking loving thoughts as my surgery began. That was June 27. For all your energetic well-wishes, I thank you, truly, from the bottom of my hear …

I didn't bother to follow the sturm und drang of the Anglican Communion Network's yabba-dabba-do meeting this week in Texas.

The great normalisation again The normalisation of the two global asset market anomalies of the period from 2003 to QI 2007 - very low long-term risk-free real interest rates and astonishingly low credit risk spreads across the board - is proceeding apace. Long-term risk-free real rates are no more than about 50 bps from their long-term historical average - certainly if we filter out the transitory flight to quality that has temporarily boosted government bond prices for the past few weeks.

Two summers ago a time that will ever stay dear in my memory as the Summer of Schreker I paid a visit to Mahler's composing hut, or Häuschen, in the little village of Steinbach, on the shores of the Attersee. I posted some pictures from the expedition here on the blog. As a result, I have become a sort of clearinghouse clearing- Häuschen for reports on Mahler's various composing huts. The latest transmission is the most delightful yet. Tom Neenan, who teaches music at Caltech, recently dropped b …
