What a long name. Does not sound at all
Like the name of someone
Who belongs to the proletariat
Their names will be Pullaiah and Yellaiah
Yours sounds far too sophisticated
As sophisticated as your accent, almost like a Brit
You say you have bruxism and what not
But your accent lives on, on and on...
Making people give you a second hearing
While at 62 I am searching for my second wind...
And your gonads have not yet started firing
Were you crazy then to be stopping by
Sundarayya Vignana Kendram in Bagh Lingampally
Where that Reddy girl taking courses in statistics
Was getting distracted by you, but you were never by her
And you stuck to your guns, pretty appropriate metaphor
Since Marx and Guevara interested you so much
No skirt or some peculiar shade of lipstick
Could hold your attention for long...
Being a Naxalite appealed to you as your svadharma
Long, long ago, and when I discovered you
You were the more sauve urban naxal, so I blocked you
Lest I the guy interested more in Maharshi than Marx
Be picked up at midnight, because the smokin' gun
Of Marxian literature was plenty on my bookshelf
I who believed that the stream of truth flows
From all sources and not just from some blokes
Doing something somewhere in the Himalayas.
Then, you texted me after a long while, saying
You were now more moderate in your views
Kind of a rare conversion, maybe Rosa Luxemborg
Started appealing to you more than Lenin
And that writer of The Motorcycle Diaries
Though Che never left your bedside and your dreams.
Nowadays, you are more into studying material girls
Rather than dialectical materialism, so tell me
Where in your heart have you created a cemetery
Where you have interred Marx though not Che.
But, my dear chum, or should I call you comrade
Listen to me dyed in the whispers down the centuries
Not only of the topography including the Himalayas
But also including Thames, Seine, and Black Forest
Marx was good as far as what he wanted man to be
But in what man was now in the present
He misread him so badly that his idealism
Was bound to come a cropper, though not before
Bloody revolutions meted out the karma
To all those people who erred in their previous lives
When they took birth long before Marx was born
Including maybe the likes of Alexander Solzhenistyn
For karma is backed by God, not some floundering startup
Ah, it satisfies me so much to end with this imagery
From Capitalism, and make Marx stir in his grave
And rethink his philosophy at least when he is reborn
And become an opium addict to discover newer realities. -

I do feel as if I lost a friend as well.

Wit and melancholy, in all forms of writings. Germans called him “Der Augenmensch”, the man who sees.
From my bookshelf, I've just picked this sentence (my translation):
“I can't come up with any kind of clarity if I don't write'”

@azonenberg I buy 6 figures from #DigiKey annually. Not a fan of the QFN but we use them. Recently made a commitment to Renesas parts that are QFN. We design and load our own boards. Not doing BGA.
That said I really miss the yellow TI logic datasheet books from the 70s. Those were like the Sears catalog for me back in the day. Must be a collectors thing now. Would love to have those on my bookshelf. Daydreaming...
Need to do a lot more of that these days, eh?

@analogfusion @Dave_Goldsmith Can't guarantee this will happen for you, but more than once I have ordered #books in "good" or "acceptable"condition from #ThriftBooks and received copies that were in much better condition than advertised - like-new or seemingly new. Great company, my bookshelf is full of books I have bought there.

This is so sad, hugely significant and such a massive loss. We owe them so much, and I hope future generations never forget it.

Well, great. #DarkHorseDigital is closing up shop. Now I have to figure out how to get the comics I bought there ages ago downloaded. Their FAQ isn;t helpful.
"Do I own the comics in my bookshelf?
Technically, you do not. As with Kindle, Nook, and other e-book companies, you license the right to read the book on supported and authorized devices."
But I can download the comics to the app? I guess I need to install the damned app and figure this out. https://digital.darkhorse.com/faq/

Looking at the Hugo award nominations for this year... I've read none of the novels, novellas, novelettes, comics, or games.
I've read one of the short stories, one of the series, and seen one of the dramatic presentations (long); two of the dramatic presentation (short).
I've got three novels from the series nominations sitting on my bookshelf, and I've just started one of those.
Is this level of ignorance in the face of the shortlists typical? I feel inadequate.

#KTVU2 #AAPI #SF #Chinatown #ChineseFood #ChineseRestaurants
Just discovered this morning that KTVU has a dedicated AAPI webpage that you can find below.
There are not a lot of stories/articles presented there but what is there is very interesting & inciteful to me, as it should be to anyone interested in the Chinese American experience.
My favorite is Amber Lee's "Chinatown" which provides a unique "insiders" look into SF Chinatown -- it's history & it's restaurants & style of cooking Chinese food (which is unique to SF).
https://www.ktvu.com/video/1227370
Watching it brought back a lot of memories for me, particularly the banquets that my family held in the 50-60's at The Far East Cafe (in the video) & Shanghai Low Restaurant (long gone).
Of historical note are the video re: Bruce Lee's roots in SF (the Chinese Historical Society in SF is holding a special exhibit re: Bruce now) & the article re: Iris Chang's book, The "Rape of Nanking" (a copy of which is sitting on my bookshelf).

Revd. J C Atkinson’s ‘Forty Years in a Moorland Parish’
I have often referred to the Reverend John Christopher Atkinson's book, 'Forty Years in a Moorland Parish,' published in 1891. It offers a detailed account of life in and around the village of Danby, and is a much thumbed addition to my bookshelf. This morning I ventured into Danby Dale, Atkinson's former parish.
Atkinson was born in Essex in 1814, and st ...

It’s hard to be surprised by the racial, gender, geographic, and many other blind spots within philosophy historically when it is literally a discipline that says things like ‘I can’t see how you can possibly get an ought from an is’, and ignores the billions of people doing it, with great ease, every single day. For a philosopher trained to reject the existence of the very table they are sitting at, or the mind they are using to do the rejecting, it’s just a short logical leap to denying the existence of entire countries, cultures, and peoples. For if it isn’t argued somewhere on my bookshelf, can it really have been argued at all?

I started writing on a notepad among the scattered items on the altar. "You still owe me a wish!" Except I kept messing it up. I tore off the page, tried finding a new clean page, but each had a bit of writing presumably by the guy behind the speaker; random notes & such. I found a different notepad, kept trying, kept messing up--mangled the 1st word, wrote too small, not enough room on the page, etc. I think this is because you can almost never read the same thing twice in a dream, though I usually don't have trouble writing. I think I was just getting too fed up to continue, though I believe this is where the dream ended anyway.
...
A fragment of a longer dream I had yesterday(?) featured me finding a small gold ship figurine, a 3-masted one I think, & putting it on my bookshelf as a reminder of my Palatine ancestors immigrating here. Upon awakening this reminded me of another recent dream. (Cont.) #spirituality #heathenry
