Model Train News
My NTrak module made it’s official debut at the Greenberg Train Show in Edison NJ last week. NTrak is a model railroad standard for building large layouts from smaller, connectable modules. I think it was a pretty good debut. No electrical or track issues and the scenery is coming along...
The trifecta of discourtesy
Look at this! This woman is the height of discourtesy. Bag on the seat next to her, legs spread like a spider, talking loudly on a cell phone. It’s literally almost ALL the things that make someone intolerable wrapped into ONE HIDEOUS PAKAGE. What you can’t see are the people standing in the car because there were no seats at that end. I suppose one could ask her to close her legs, and move the bag, to get the seat next to her. But, WHO WOULD WANT TO SIT NEXT TO THIS GARBAGE? You tell me?
It’s called common courtesy because you don’t have to ask for it.
Remember to bring your magic markers to work. You have simply got to love the professional attitude of the MTA in New York City. So no "G" trains, huh? What exactly do the quote marks mean in this context? Are the trains that aren't coming earnest G trains, or are those meant to be air quotes? Are they "so-called" G trains?
Not that it matters. There are no trains coming today, and that's what's important. However, this sign looks like it might have been made by a 3rd grader. Can I trust it? Maybe it's a practical joke played by hooligan pre-schoolers.
I am getting SOOO tired of this one. WHY would the Apple Weather app, or ANY other weather reporting application, show TODAYS PREDICTED LOW temperature as HIGHER than the current temperature (or, for that matter, the predicted HIGH as lower than the current temperature)? Yet this happens all the time. Yes, ALL THE TIME...
In case you need it, here is the translation of this capture from my iPhone: "Today is Sunday. We are forecasting TODAY'S low temperature will be 30 degrees. Even though the current temperature is 25 degrees, which is 5 degrees BELOW 30 degrees, and thus we are being currently PROVEN WRONG, we are still comfortable with the accuracy of our forecast."
This is insane. It is a simple problem that can be fixed by adding the following line of code to the weather app program: "IF the current temperature is LOWER than the day's forecast low, then make the day's forecast low equal to the CURRENT temperature." This would instantly change that 30 degree low to a 25 degree low and give the forecast the kind of accuracy of which DOPPLER 2 million XDG courtesy of the CBS mobile weather center Helicopter edition would be proud.
It is the kind of thing that would be taught on the FIRST day of any class in Programming Database Applications. Basic IF-THEN statement stuff.
Why is this still happening so many years into the Weather app? Only Apple can say, and as usual, they're not talking.
I love GPS. Love it. Like so many things, I don't really understand it. Apparently there are satellites up there that broadcast a signal and the GPS receiver picks up the broadcasts and can triangulate my position from the interaction of the signals. Or something like that.
Most of the time, this thing works pretty well. But sometimes (actually more than sometimes, but less than often) it goes berzerk. At least, it does on my iPhone in my running app, the fantastic Runkeeper. Yesterday, was one of those days. My normally 6.8 mile run to Prospect park in Brooklyn and back to my apartment was clocked at over SEVENTEEN miles. It looks like I ran the entire route dressed as a headless chicken.
I don't think I could have created this path if I tried, and I'm crazy curious as to how the GPS did it...

It's a Rat eat Rat world.
Whenever I think about it, I am impressed by how insulated we are from the true brutality of the world. This video was shot on the Long Island Railroad platform in Jamaica, New York. It is the largest hub station for the LIRR, on one of the busiest commuter rail lines in the world. For about 5 minutes, as I waited for my train home, I watched this rat eat his dead friend's ass off. It was disturbing and gory. About 10 people walked by while I filmed the scene, but I'm not sure how many noticed the actors. This happens all day long in the animal kingdom, throughout the world. Nevertheless, it is an uncommon thing to see in the heart of New York City. I've seen many rats in the transit system over the years – mostly on the tracks, and mostly eating garbage or just patrolling the area, but I've never seen anything quite like this.
