Mushing by mountains and 2,000 marbles

March 8, 2016 Tuesday

9:22PM
The photos from the race are amazing today – Northern lights, cute doggies in booties, massive mountains, mushers and tireless volunteers helping making it all happen!

Ralph Johannessen drops down onto the frozen surface of Puntilla Lake in the Alaska Range. Mushers in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race came and went from the Rainy Pass checkpoint for much of Monday, March 7, 2016.

It’s so warm in Anchorage, they’re bringing snow in by train to start the Iditarod sled dog race!

Snowless Anchorage

Bill Roth / Alaska Dispatch News

Alaska had the second-warmest December through February of the last century, and many parts of the state, including Anchorage, are seeing their warmest winters ever. Mushers drive their dog teams down a ribbon of snow that was placed in a snowless downtown Anchorage.

See Spotlight!

From my private journal: 

January 19, 2016 02:53 pm 

Go see “Spotlight!”

I actually got out to the movies yesterday! And I liked the film!  
I’m not much for going due to the price and rude people etc. but the Oscar-nominated film, “Spotlight” caught my fancy and I got out to see it at the Kendall Square Cinema yesterday.  I highly recommend it to you!  I was surprised how good it is.  I could see why the Academy and other awards organizations are focusing on it.   The script, the set design, the editing, directing and acting… even the music fit in a subtle way.  WOW.  It reminded me of “All the President’s Men.”  It was great to see Boston scenes on the big screen, and get the background on how a huge, tragic story made it to press, a story I followed closely in 2002 and it’s still going on.  They do talk frankly about the abuse of children by priests, so if that is a trigger, this one is not for you.  But for me it was so wonderful to see people listening to them and finally doing something about it!  And making it so that could happen all over the world.  I was also touched with how people who were raised to go to church had to stop, and how they talked about it.  
It is the only Oscar-nominated film I could fathom seeing, and it is sticking with me.  I find myself thinking over the facts and figures and the craft of presenting them, of cramming 6 months into 2 hours and so many Boston characters whose names we all know.  The script is based on first-person interviews and you can tell.  The actors got to hang out with the real people and are spookily similar-looking and acting.  Unlike most movies, you can assume most of what they’re showing is true.
Take someone with you if at all possible – I needed someone to talk through it afterwards and it was great that the person knew what I was talking about!  
The Boston Globe has a bunch of articles that are a great read:
Ty Burr wrote an insightful review.  He brought up the point that this movie was not Hollywood-ized – it focuses on the story, and how they got it published.

How the movie got made

The real people the movie is about

http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/movies/2015/10/28/the-real-people-behind-spotlight-characters/SktMepoMe7ZB2c0cIF90HI/story.html
And my favorite, where the reporters talk about what it’s like to have an A-list actor be you in a movie.

www.bostonglobe.com/arts/movies/2014/11/29/spotlightfilm-intro/d8Tp3MQ4Y0OQA3JZgABkeO/story.html
It’s rather sad that most of the reporters are not with the Boston Globe anymore, and the heyday of the local newspaper is over.  I glanced at the other work the Spotlight team has done recently – I had not heard of it.  If it doesn’t show up on Facebook or the drive-time radio broadcast, I’m unlikely to know about it.  And with them charging for online access (after 5 articles a month), there are many other free sources to tell me news.

So that’s your tip for today!

Kik start

January 7, 2016 Thursday



I signed in on Kik today.

I have always used the Yahoo chat on my mischief email account to communicate with AM guys.  But ever since Yahoo “improved” their messenger chat program into an unusable mess (that made me enter a phone number and won’t let me use my Google Voice line. And won’t let me delete contacts.  And won’t let me share photos!) I’ve been looking around for a better chat option.

I tried several other options, looking for the safest, easiest way to chat, but each had its drawbacks or is not something my chat buddies can install on their phones.

1) Google

If I could get my guys to use Google Mail and it’s Hang-outs chat program, that would be ideal. Video, text, send photos… I helped Kris set up a fake gmail account and we used that after we thought his Yahoo email was hacked by his son.  But most men use Gmail in their “real lives” and don’t want to have two and risk mixing them up.

2) Skype 

It has a texting only feature and video chat, with an app or it can be used on the desktop. It is very easy, if he can have that app on his phone.  But many men use it for work or family stuff and don’t want to set up another one and get mixed up, or have to explain why it’s on their phone if they don’t use it.  And I don’t want to encourage men to ask me to cam.  Bleh.

3) Trillian

It’s an IM aggregator where in theory you can give it your IM logins to other services and then talk to everyone on any IM service. It has an app and a desktop version and is free. I got it working so he could see what I was typing, but I could not see responses from his Yahoo.  Ugh.

4) Oldapps.com

I poked around looking for a way to download a previous version of the Yahoo IM app, that worked mostly fine for me until last week. I don’t know quite enough about it to try it, but may explore further if I don’t get other options to work.

5) Set up your own chat room

This would be text only but could be a good short term alternative. There are IRC chat apps and it’s available online through the web – nothing to download and sit on the phone. I use mibbit.com

No log of the conversation. Very private. Not even an ID except for the owner. You set it up, give him the URL and type.  This may be the safest place on the internet but most people aren’t familiar with it so it takes some time to learn the commands.

6) Facebook messenger

Set up fake account for him. Use messenger. It has video options.  Just have to be careful of their “you may also know” suggestions if it starts recommending your fake account to real people in your life or his life. And delete messages manually.

I also tried several that are meant for military or business super-secure communications, but they were too cumbersome to set up, or deleted messages as I was reading them, which I found unusable.  And it would be very tough to explain the app on a guy’s phone.

I’ve heard that some people play the “Words with Friends” game, which has a chat feature embedded.  I haven’t tried that. Anyone had any luck with it? 

I keep Googling to search for more. There are new ones all the time.

Then a real possibility came from another source. 

7) Kik
Today my pal The Pup suggested we try Kik.  He’s such a good egg to look for options!  I’d heard of it from various people.  I installed it and poked around. It was easy to install on my phone, and then uninstall again if need be. It was easy to sign up. It let me delete or block contacts. It let me send photos pretty easily! It’s only available on the phone, which is a bit of a downer, and it deletes everything after a pretty short time, which is probably good for most folks but problematic for me as a blogger!  We’ll see if this one is the answer!  
If you have any other chatting ideas, please let me know!
