Tap My Mind
Tap into the mind of Scott Isaacs -- you never know what will drip out.
My seven year old daughter was doing some math homework last night at the kitchen table. I was casually watching over her shoulder and listening to her thinking out loud. Here's one of the problems she was working on last night:

Today I was about to deploy an app to the server when I realized I had been building against .NET 4.5 while the server only had .NET 4.0 on it. After changing the Framework version, I started getting errors.
'System.Net.Http.HttpContent' does not contain a definition for 'ReadAsAsync' ...
Read more to see how I finally fixed it after wasting almost 3 hours.

If the Blank App template were a sheet of white printer paper, the Navigation App template would be a sheet of graph paper -- both are essentially empty, but one provides some helpful structure. By contrast, the Grid App or Split App templates might be pages from a coloring book, where the outline of your application is provided and only the details must be filled in.
(from my upcoming book)

Debugging Windows Store apps in the Simulator is a pretty slick idea that mostly works.
There's a reason why people have the impression that certain things are hard to do: they are.
Somehow I end up committing myself to things that fall into this category.
You may or may not know that I am currently writing a book. If you didn't, now you do. That's a picture of the cover.

My whole life I've heard, "Use the right tool for the job," and I am a big proponent of that and tell people all the time. But there are times that something is low-risk, and it's easier to try to use whatever is on hand than going to get the right tool. So you take a calculated risk and move on with your life. Sometimes, though, you're wrong. You mess things up with the wrong tool and end up having to try to patch it, taking more time and effort that it would have taken to do it right in the first place.
This especially sucks when the "right tool" is your electric beard trimmer and the "wrong tool" is the safety razor you thought you could use to touch up your moustache.

Eighteen months ago, I sat down and wrote out a description in bullet points of what my ideal job would be like. I described my position, the company, and my co-workers. My previous job had many of those qualities. It was a good job at a good company, but it wasn't everything I wanted. I wanted to change things, but they weren't mine to change.
I've been at SafeNet for about 7 weeks now. I realize that's not that long, but so far it seems like every single bullet point on my description of an ideal job has been satisfied. Here's my list from June 2010.

Hi, all.
My daughter is going to UK soon (for learning English; student visa). She asked me 'Mum, what kind of souvenir you want from London?'
And I would to oder ... some TP books in English!
Because English books are too expensive in Russian internet-shops.
And delivery is very expensive from Amazon. And I very want to get some TP's books...
Could you please give me advice (for my daughter) about good 'second-hand' books shop in London?
It must be easy for found and not expensive. And it must to sell TP books, of course!

The White City (as it became known) was a magical creation constructed upon Chicago's swampy Jackson Park by Daniel H. Burnham, the famed architect who coordinated the talents of Frederick Olmsted, Louis Sullivan, and others to build it. Dr. Henry H. Holmes combined the fair's appeal with his own fatal charms to lure scores of women to their deaths. Whereas the fair marked the birth of a new epoch in American history, Holmes marked the emergence of a new American archetype, the serial killer, who thrived on the very forces then transforming the country.
In deft prose, Larson conveys Burnham's herculean challenge to build the White City in less than 18 months. At the same time, he describes how, in a malign parody of the achievements of the fair's builders, Holmes built his own World's Fair Hotel - a torture palace complete with a gas chamber and crematorium. Throughout the book, tension mounts on two fronts: Will Burnham complete the White City before the millions of visitors arrive at its gates? Will anyone stop Holmes as he ensnares his victims?
© 2003 Erik Larson; (P) 2003 Books on Tape, Inc.
"A hugely engrossing chronicle of events public and private." (Chicago Tribune)
"Vivid history of the glittering Chicago World's Fair and its dark side." (New York Magazine)
"Both intimate and engrossing, Larson's elegant historical account unfolds with the painstaking calm of a Holmes murder."(Library Journal)
"A Rich Read!"
I enjoyed this listen so much I lost sleep to continue listening. Scott Brick is my favorite narrator and he doesn't disappoint here. Set in Chicago in the late 1800's the book tells two stories. The fascinating story of Chicago's rush to build the White City and hold the World Fair of 1893 (celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America and visited by everyone who was anyone); as well as the murderous actions of Herman Mudgett (a.k.a. HH Holmes) a well respected doctor who preyed on young trusting women, and anyone else who got in his way.
The author writes in such a way that you can truly imagine the excitement and boom happening in that place and time. Other added details such as the detectives' intense search for evidence, appearances by famous people, and a tale from the Titanic make this story a rich and enjoyable read.
This was a huge undertaking for any author and I'm glad Larson ventured to uncover this enthralling story, however more details of both the murders and the building of the city would have been welcomed. Still a fascinating read that for the first time makes me look forward to the movie so I can see the incredible White City come to life.
"Couldn't take my earphone out..."
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this audible book. The two story lines are both wonderful and either one on their own would have been enough to keep me entertained.
A wonderfully researched and thoughtfully written book that is brought to life by a voice made to be listened to.
Do yourself a favour and get this one.
Speaker, Coach, Author - in Reno, NV (A GREAT place!) I've been an avid Audible fan for several years. Listen on my iPhone many hours each week.
"The Best Book I've Listened to in at Least a Year!"
WOW! My first Erik Larson book and definitely not my last. I only wish Scott Brick was the narrator for the one I just bought. From the first sentence through the last one, I was completely taken in by this story and this performance. I learned so much and I enjoyed every second of it. I can't even think of a book that was as "perfect" (I hate to use that word) as this one and definitely better to listen because of Scott Brick than it would have been if I had read it. It sounds like a novel but of course, it's true, which made it even more exciting. Loved it!!
A reader from day 1 now a listener too! Remember honesty in a review does help you decide, even if you don't agree!
"Entrancing historical thriller"
In reading some of the lower rated reviews, I was hesitant to make this pick but now
I cannot think of a better way to tell the two intertwined stories presented here. They are the yin and yang of the event, and with the wonderful narration, and engrossing detail, the story flew along.....well, as fast as you can listen to those 14+ hours. Unlike other long downloads, this one kept me in the story, and I did not have to 'back-up' to remember the place....
The amazing scope of this Fair is awesome, and for the time history-making on so many fronts, from the Labor movement, to engineering, and sanitation, we can still see this Fair's footprint on our daily lives! Concurrently,
the gruesome serial-killer who took advantage of the circumstances is a potent reminder that there is always evil lurking just under the beautiful surface, and we cannot be too vigilant.
The narration was perfect, and this story will please the history buff, mystery or thriller reader in you.
I knew very little about the Chicago Exposition and nothing about H.H. Holmes before listening to this book. What a juxtaposition between the two stories - one of great deeds and triumph and the other of such horror and tragedy.
"well written, well researched, well read"
I'll start by saying that, as much as I liked this audio book, it's really two stories that aren't wound together very well. That's OK because they're both good and worth time and attention. The bulk of the book is about the creation and execution of the Columbian Exposition, which is told in a way that is more interesting than one would expect. From the architectural challenges to the societal politics, from the adoption of AC current to the creation of the first Ferris Wheel, it was all far more interesting than I had expected. The addition of the extra story, of the sociopath serial killer HH Holmes, is timely enough so as not to stand out, but doesn't really flow as part of the story of the Exposition either. Holmes ran a ''hotel'' for young women going to the Fair, many of whom fatally disappeared, but Holmes crimes started before the Fair and continued after, so linking them is a bit of a stretch.
Scott Brick did an excellent job as the narrator, winning me over after a previous performance reading a book I couldn't finish because it was so bad. I hesitated when I saw his name, but there was no need,,,,he did a stellar job. The author too did an excellent job writing a very accessible book from a lot of well researched material.
"Completely engrossing"
This was one of the best books I've heard on Audible (and I listen to around 2 a week). True, there is a lot of detail, but unlike a few other readers, I didn't find one moment of it tedious.
I, of course, had heard of the Columbian Exposition, but I had no idea what a large role it played in the history of Chicago or the country. The descriptions of the building of the fair, the social classes and the side story about the murders gave me a good feel for the time and the attitudes of the people who lived then. It was also interesting to hear about people like Olmstead and how he worked.
I was fascinated by this book and spent a lot of time after I finished it looking at photos of the fair online.
The whole thing was like one of those great New Yorker articles about something you know nothing about but, once introduced, can't get enough of.
"LONG- but interesting"
Enjoyed this audio book... the history is amazing. Switching back and forth from the details of the construction of the Chicago World's Fair and a serial killer embedded within the mosaic of every-day life maintained my interest enough that I finished the book in several days. The details of inventions introduced at the times and the details of prominent (and not so well known) architects and inventors kept me busy figuring out who was who and what was what... but the return to the serial killer kept me grounded. The rich history embedded in the book was an education. My first audible book. GREAT... gonna get more!
"Too much history too little H.H. Holmes"
I got it b/c I wanted to learn about the "devil" instead the book is mostly about history and architecture.,
"Masterful tour-de-force"
I'm late catching this book, but am I ever glad that I finally acted on my friends' recommendations. If you're interested in 20th century American history -- or simply in histories and the ways their elements interact -- I can't see you going wrong with this one.
Who knew a history of the early 20th century in Illinois could bring together Mark Twain, cracker jack, Susan B. Anthony, Gentelman Jim Corbett, Woodrow Wilson, Shredded Wheat, Frank Lloyd Wright, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Clarence Darrow, Walt Disney, Theodore Dreiser, Leopold & Loeb, the electric chair, the ferris wheel, and even the Keeley Gold Cure.
It's a well read tale, a fascinating examination of "the fair that changed America," chock full of surprising information.

Why Wait for T1 Pricing?
Written by: QuoteMyT1 Staff - Jul 7, 2015
If you need a T1 rate quote, why wait for 2 days? Why not get it in 2 seconds instead? Why call several providers, wait on hold many times only to be told "I'll get back to you in a couple of days"? Why not get quotes from several providers in a few seconds?
Until a couple of years ago, getting T1 quotes did entail make calls to each provider and waiting for each to call back with the pricing. Well, GeoQuote™ has changed all of that. Now, it is possible to get your T1 quotes real time. In just a few seconds, you can have pricing from several T1 vendors. You can compare them all, side-by-side.

Before you choose the service, your new consultant will discuss your requirements and telecom needs with you. He may find that there are other products available that you had not thought about.

Does your business have an office in another city and a requirement to share files between the 2 offices. Ask your consultant about a dedicated connection between the 2 offices. He might suggest something called Multiprotocol Label Switching service (MPLS). This is a circuit that can provide dedicated connectivity between 2 or more offices while at the same time providing connectivity to the Internet and telephone services.

- Always on, Always connected
- Low powered mode
- Kinect sold with every console, wider FOV, no motors, better tracking
- Kinect is required to be plugged in
- Low latency controller with "improved ergonomics", simplified interaction with console OS
- Bluray drive
- All games must be installed on HDD [you can start playing few secs after installation starts], game data streaming from optical disc not supported
- Only digital audio out
The Durango console is designed to offer game developers modern hardware that is more powerful than the Xbox 360. It uses a familiar x64 architecture and tools, and compared with Xbox 360 development time and effort spent on perfomance optimization. Hardware accelerators, including "move engines" for common tasks, will be added to the console. Move engines can perform common game tasks like compression and decompression while moving data around the system. The console also has dedicated hardware support form common audio processing tasks that reduce the amount of CPU time that must be devoted to audio. The GPU provides considerable computing power, and supports Direct3D 11.
Durango will implement different power states so that it can always be powered on, but will draw minimal electricity when not in use. The console will be ready instantly when users want to play, and will always maintain a network connection so that console software and games are always current. With this 'Always On, Always Connected' design, users will quickly and easily enjoy their connected entertainment experiences, with no waiting for the console to restart or install updates.
Every Durango console will be sold with a new high-fidelity Kinect Sensor, which will be requiered for the system to operate. The console will provide HD videos, and will use new depth sensor technology to provide better screen resolution and less noisy depth data. Active infrared illumination will provide high-quality monochrome images ever in low ambiente light conditions. A wider field of view allows play in smaller spaces and removes the need for a tilt motor.
System software will offer a full set of system API for Natural User Interface (NUI), and the API set will be corresponding API used by Xbox 360. Skeleton tracking, identity, and other NUI functions will be performed by the system and for that reason, titles no longer need to allocate title resources to NUI.
The Durango controller will make the best-in-class Xbox 360 controller ever better. It will have low-latency wireless connectivity to the console, and improve ergonomics. System interactions that use the controller will be simplified to make them easier for noncore gamers.
Every Durango console will have a hard drive, although its exact capacity has not been choosen. It will be large enough, however, to hold a large number of games. All games will be installed on the hard drive. Play from optical disc will be not supported.
Durango consoles will have Blu-ray Disc drive. Disc media will be used dor distributuion, but during gameplay, games will not use content from optical disc. An installation system is being designed that will allow gamers to begin playing while the game is being installed on the hard drive rather than waiting until insatallation is complete.
Audio from Durango will be all digital - 7.1 discrete PCM output through HDMIU and S/PDIF. Hardware accelerators will be included for decoding and decompressing common audio formats. There also will be a dedicated processor to perform common signal processing in hardware.

Rotor (YGZ101C) is densely tissued with gleaming metal, tucked and arranged in folds, dunes, waves, and pockets of inner and outer space, imbued with the same indomitable spirit expressed in Pomodoro's massive bronzes. Definitely a Swatch, this piece packs the brass-knuckled punch of the Italian artist's powerful hand into a small and elegantly appealing work. The name of the watch is engraved on the bezel, and the dial is coloured a gleaming, rain-cloud silver, with bare tapered hands sweeping across the surface. Full of the play of form and space, this work has an inside-out quality that is as fascinating as it is assertive.

New gyro-equiped NXTway, & JennToo with RADAR
Krystman also has up the code on his webpage here. Nice application, and wonderful visualization.
Another wonderful robot that popped up just a little bit later is a LEGway (or NXTway) that works by using a gyrosopic sensor, not directly sensing the angle of the robot to the ground. Potentially, it could I suspect climb slopes. Well done! Take a look here:
NXTway-G with gyroscopic feedback
Very nice stuff appearing all over!

Is there any more info on the gyro bot. What sensor was used or was it home grown? This is a very nice piece of work!

What exactly is the difference between an acceleration/tilt sensor (especially the tilt part) and a gyro sensor?

I suspect the gyro in question is homegrown or a prototype, as I don't know of any currently for sale. However, Hitechnic already has a protoype up on their development page, and it looks like a similar application. As to the difference, and acceleration sensor measures, well, the acceleration, including gravity, and if you are in free-fall it would register zero (as it did, or came close to, when I wore it while jumping off a swing). A gyroscopic sensor measures the change in the angular position of the sensor: if you turn it 90°, it can register that, without needing to figure it out from the cumulative acceleration over time. So a gyro sensor, for instance,can tell you how the angle of the robot has changed, without needed a reference to the ground or gravity, and independant of where on the structure its located (this last can be a biggie).

A new product announcement by HiTechnic:
"The HiTechnic Gyro is a single axis gyroscopic sensor that measures the rate of turn in the plane of the sensor. Using the HiTechnic Gyro Sensor Block for Mindstorms NXT-G, the program will get a signed value that represents the rotation rate in approximate units of one degree per second. The maximum rotation rate which can be measured is +/- 360 degrees per second.
The sensor is housed in a standard LEGO sensor housing."
Together with the other products announced earlier this week (IR sensor, IR link and motor and sensor multiplexers), it seems there will be a lot more options for NXT in the near future!

My name is Colton Chladek, I am a sophomore at the University of Minnesota and I'm interested in pursuing a BFA degree or one in Architecture. I am ultimately looking forward to becoming a painter and possibly a sculptor as well. I also have become interested in photography and film, and especially the construction of still photo movies. On my free time, I like to play the guitar, design art compositions in various mediums, and think about life. I hate politics, most types of folk, pop, indie, rap, and country music(there are always exceptions), and anything regarding celebrities.
Chambers Art Piece Interpretation
Andrea Stanislav
"L.W.S.2." Ashley Bickerton, 2001
This piece caught my eye because of it's subject matter, composition, and color. Even beyond the risqué subject matter my eye was first drawn to the criss-cross light pattern. The artist takes a generally thought of light source in a window and creates a grid of parallel and perpendicular rectangles that take your eye right to the blow up doll, although the light doesn't extend all the way from the window. There right side of the piece also doesn't have a known light source making those directional rectangles a little ambiguous even though it's implied that it's a similar window. It makes the doll appear as if she is basking in the sunlight even though she is an inanimate object. The man in the foreground makes the piece with his expression and location within the piece. He makes it feel as if this were a routine thing for him, and ordinary 9-5 guy that all about work and leaves no time for sociality that resorts to having a blow up doll as his partner. He also keeps nude pictures on the wall to make the doll feel more human I suppose. I also read this piece as a businessman who's cheating on his wife and he comes to a shanty motel. The sense of confinement is what gives this work a sense of ambiguity because you cant see more personal things besides sexual subjects and this is why you read it as either his bedroom in his house or a location purely used to satisfy sexual desires. There may be a political message due to the American flag but I'm unsure to what it may refer to. The whole thing is compositionally great with the variety of shapes and forms and movement throughout. Your eye isn't confused and flows throughout the image and stays engaged with the vibrancy of the hues used.

This piece is probably the most eye catching for me as I am taking a painting class currently so it's interesting to notice all of the varying techniques the artist uses and to the extent of it's execution is pretty impressive. The surface itself caught my eye when the light hit it in different ways because of the glaze the artist used. This really enhances the reflective qualities of the water in this work. The blending is also very well done, especially from around ten feet away the centralized figure seems seamless in its blending execution, though up close there is a more shifty change from light to dark which I actually think works well in this case. I love the contrast of the near perfect quality of the figure and boat amidst the harshness off the angled brush strokes for the water. The complimentary colors, to me, is what makes this stand out the most. Using such a nice clean vibrant red and green together really keeps your eye focused on the subject.
MediaArtChina.org Piece

I chose to critique this piece because I am currently in a sculpture class and it is a really striking sculpture. Through the interaction of the two separate forms via heating and gravity the glue that the artist installs makes a beautiful wave-like shape. The ingenuity of the timing and temperature relations is what's most amazing to me. It's pretty incredibly that the artist has devised (through rigorous trial and error I assume) a way to heat a large mass of glue to the appropriate temperature to melt in thin strand formations while the timing of the cooling mechanism (the fan) cools the glue strands and solidifies and captures that movement. After all of that engineering, the product that is the result of it, is a graceful and flowing wave or tree of glue strands near perfect in organization. As a viewer of this is real time, I would assume all of this spectacle would be that more mesmerizing. I think that the artist makes a good choice to simplify the sculpture in terms of color, using a near monochromatic color relationship, to focus on other aspects of the piece, though I do think the white color gives it a web like appearance. The movement of this piece is pretty amazing as well. It looks as if it is a standing waterfall or wave. This facet of its appearance makes it really dynamic. Compositionally, with the interaction between the two structures there could be more, appearance wise, although it's interaction is a direct function of it's engineering, so it's understandable. Overall this is one of the most spectacular modern sculptures I have ever seen by taking engineering, chemistry, and sculpture and creating an absolute marvel.
3 Minute Movie Film Observation
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy
Pool Party Scene
The scene opens with a close up shot of Ron's face while he announces an "urgent and terrifying news story." For ambiguity the director uses this close up to keep the location of Ron unknown. Upon the instance of the joke it zooms out to Ron making a cannon ball into the pool. Then there is a transition from Ron in his bathing suit to him wearing a robe rather dry as to show a period of time has passed as he walks up to Brian and two women. There is a trend upon filiming conversations that I notice and that is that the camera angle usually only focuses on the person talking, the talker and the listener or the entire group. When someone is just stating a general thing it focuses on them, when they are conversing it focuses on two or more to be able to see responses, or the entire group upon the time of a joke or group laughter or quick conversation amongst many. The general clothing articles are 70s attire to fit to the theme of the storyline of the prime years of anchormen which is a lot of plaid, button up shirts, yellow hues, and skirts. The lighting of the movie is more dim than most modern movies as I feel to affect the 70s theme.
BA Show
I chose this painting because in my intro course I had to come in on my own time and finish up some work, when I was in there I saw this painting. I always have shied away from doing any sorts of landscapes albeit drawing or now painting, but upon close examination of this piece, I noticed how I could emulate techniques used in this to create a landscape rather representational without meticulous work. The brushstrokes used for the trees and foliage are rather rough in a dark layer covered by lighter layers to show highlights and a final later to see the brightest spots. The same is done for the water, and by doing this, creates a more real look to both aspects of the piece. This thoroughly expedites the painting process and gives me inspiration to try my hand at it as well. The water has a nice separation and gradation between levels and makes the piece seem as if the water is misting around it, which is exceptional. Compositionally, the painting has nice perspective, but I feel that the straight on look could have been changed to give the piece more dynamism. Overall the painting is also a little dark as the whole thing could have used a direct light source to push the realism of it.
BFA Show
Overall I was not very impressed with the BFA show, as I was with the BA show. But the one piece that stood out the most was the moose sculpture. Not only because of it's shear size but it's execution with materials. The armiture itself is rather skinny but appears very sturdy. The legs themselves are wonderfully done with the angled feet that give it a hoof like appearance and still support the whole structure. The sheet metal is the most magnificent part, however. It's incredible how rough the sheet metal was treated over the armiture and how well it reads as a moose. The rusting of the metal gives it a nice appearance of fur color and the degradation of the material gives it a fuzzy and lustered look that also enhances this. I also like the antlers, because they actually have a voluminous appearance although created out of sheet metal because of the way it was manipulated. I think it's wonderful how an idea, however absract or normal, can look completely different depending on who does it and their ability to manipulate the materials they have available. I think the stance of the moose is vital to the composition because it seems more natural even though it is built out of metal.
3-Minute Scene Analysis
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The scene starts when the Fox's are going to be dug out of their tree home, so Mr. Fox jumps on a chair to announce his plan. Mr. Fox's head is top center with the camera angle zoomed out from across the table with the others looking up at him, in effort to create suspense/dramatic effect. The camera then closes up on his face abruptly to show he just had his idea. He then yells, "dig" and jumps across the table, the camera stops on him for a split second then zooms out as long as he yells. The camera then pans down a little bit, then stops while all of the members dig down to the focus of the camera. Then the camera pans while the diggers make a turn in their tunneling. The lighting in the scene is also to create a dramatic effect by having a dim lit set with subtle spotlights on their faces to create harsher shadows on not only their faces but on the background. There is also rubble coming off the house ceiling to heighten the sense of urgency.
Minnesota Original
Show 101 Response
First of all, I think the most striking thing of the new Minnesota Original show is how many artists from Minnesota are doing such amazing and modern work. Alec Soth's photography was especially interesting to me because I, myself, love doing series of works regardless of mediums. I think seeing a similar theme of something, but having each individual piece be exceptionally different on its own is a remarkable and engaging experience visually. The thing I found the most interesting with Heather Doyle's works was not the work itself, but the process to get to that final stage. Hands-on creation is one of the most satisfying things as an artist especially when it looks as, or better than, you hope for. The manipulation of raw materials into art is also fascinating to watch when you do see the final product, and it makes you appreciate it that much more. The painting piece was by far the most interesting to me. As a learning painter I have the tendency to blend everything perfectly and create a smooth layer of paint on the surface, but what Joe Paquet does with the paint he applies is nearly unfathomable to me with his mix of rough and delicate application and unmixed paints creates more detail than one could painting in the academic style. I think with the last two segments (the musical ones), they gave me some inspiration with my final sound project on how I want to create audibly engaging tones, with a rhythmic layer and other more heightened layers on top of it.
