    Heinrich Heine poem

    Not exactly fat in the media, but really something about society. I came across this poem by German writer and poet Heinrich Heine (1797-1856). It went: Welcher Frevel, Freund! Abtrünnig Wirst du deiner fetten Hanne, Und du liebst jetzt jene spinnig Dürre, magre Marianne! Läßt man sich vom...

    About AI image generation and chatbots

    Like many, I've recently spent some time -- too much, really -- trying to figure out what the current enchantment with chatbots and AI (Artificial Intelligence) image generators is all about. Here are my overall impressions so far: The OpenAI chatbot -- GPT -- is amazing. It's been described as...

    Memories of the 2009 Dimensions Bash

    Back in 2009, the first, and only, Dimensions Bash took place in Orlando, Florida. My dear friend Heather produced it with the help of many volunteers. It turned out to be a grand event. Below is the keynote speech I presented: Dimensions Bash 2009 Welcome to the first ever Dimensions...

    Running/walking not because it's easy, but because it's hard

    In his famous speech about going to the moon, John F. Kennedy spoke these immortal words: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." I feel the same way about running. I don't do it because it's easy for me, but...

    The Elliot Rodgers mass murder tragedy

    Not sure how many of you have read Rodger's long manifesto, which is really a memory in book form. I read the whole thing, and thought a lot of what makes a seemingly pretty normal kid grow up to where unthinkable acts are first fantasies, then possibilities, then plans, then inevitability...

    Discontinued stuff. Grrrr.

    Fashions come and go, but most of us have certain styles, products, brands that we REALLY like. And it's always SUCH a pain to find that the company that makes them, for some unfathomable reason, chooses to discontinue them. Like, why did Nike choose to discontinue their best shoe ever, the...

    Fashion.... and fashion gripes

    I do recall how, way back when in High School, if you didn't wear the latest, coolest stuff you might as well stay in bed and not show up at all. To wear fashionable gear meant you got it, you had style, you made a statement, even if the statement was to wear the exact opposite. I recall how at...

    Raclette

    Not sure how many of you are familiar with Raclette. It's a Swiss thing, right next to Fondue. While you prepare a Foundue with a mixture of Swiss cheeses and other ingredients in a pot and then bring it to a very gentle boil so the gathered assembly can dunk their pieces of bread at the end...

    Vol-au-vent available anywhere?

    I'd been under the weather for several days this past weekend, but then Carol made this wonderful birthday dinner that I had asked her for. Vol-au-vents! Only problem was that she was unable to find any normal, full-sized vol-au-vents anywhere and eventually had to settle for those little...

    Fat soccer fans get special seats at 2014 World Cup

    According to a report in Bloomberg, fat soccer fans will get special extra-wide seats at the 2014 World Cup that'll take place in Brazil later this year. The seats are twice as wide, and fans need a certificate that proves a BMI of 30 or more. They'll even get a free second ticket for a friend...

    The do's and don't of exercise

    I absolutely believe in physical exercise, for all people, fat and thin. Exercise is vital to keep our systems going, but it's equally important to match the degree and level of physical exercise to what's feasible, reasonable, and sustainable. One of my dear friends, the late Kara...

    The Cuba embargo

    Not sure if this was reported in the US, but it appears that the last US bank that was willing to handle financial transactions between Cuba and the US has discontinued that service. That's quite a blow to the Cuban community in the United States, and yet another bizarre outburst of the idiocy...

    $750,000 not nearly enough to retire on?

    Saving is tough these days, what with seemingly everyone determined to squeeze the last dollar they can get out of you. Apparently., however, you still need to save A LOT. According to a USA Today article (see here), $750,000 in savings is "not going to be nearly enough to retire on."...

    Webmaster's new book

    Some of you know that scuba diving is one of my passions. There's a wondrous world down there, one that few people ever see, and the sensation of weightlessly floating in that world is indescribable. But I tried to describe it anyway and wrote a whole book about it. It follows my first 250...

    The Swiss Krankenkasse (health insurance)

    Switzerland has had mandatory health insurance for as far back as I can remember. It's simple and super-easy. Everyone pays the same, everyone gets the same coverage and services, every insurer charges the same rate. Simply put in your age and deductible and that's that. About the only...
