We finished the class with standing sprints to Bring Me to Life by Evanescence, a five-minute climb to 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up, and cooled-down to The Jam’s That’s Entertainment. As the opening bars to Beck’s Loser filled the room, the spinners slowed their pedals to a stop, dropped their heels, and stretched their calf muscles. I turned the music down to a conversational level and said, “This is my favorite song lyric right now.”
Beck sang out: In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey.
“Wait, what did he say?”
“In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey. That’s how I feel every day of my life.” No one asked me what I meant. The night before, I posted the lyric on my Facebook page to honor the start of Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month. My theme this year—Tourette Syndrome: So much more than tics. It’s the tics that get all the attention. Those unwanted movements and vocalizations are displayed with either respect or ridicule all over social media—the people who jerk, the people who cuss, the people who whistle, blink and bark.
Yes, the tics are obviously an issue. I disturb the people within earshot with my grunting. I cause people to look away with my long, dramatic, face-scrunching blinks. I’m sure people wonder why I jerk and torque my body as I walk down the street. Scratch my arm until it bleeds. Blow air across my eyes. Lick my lips, wipe them off. Lick my lips, wipe them off. A thousand times a day. The tics are the visible symptom, but there’s so much more. It’s the rest that derails me.
I loaded my Facebook post with hashtags, the disorders that accompany Tourette: #OCD #ADHD #ASD #Anxiety #Insecurity, and the takeaway I want people to grasp: #NotAJoke #NotAPunchline #ItsABigFuckingDeal, and the reason for my post #TouretteAwareness. I considered using #Embarrassment, but it seemed pathetic. But if I’m honest, embarrassment is the biggest one. I’m embarrassed by my tics.
“What are you working on?” Susan peeked over from her side of the couch as I created an image of my Beck quote with my tagline ‘So much more than tics’ beneath it.
“A Facebook meme for Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month.” A five-minute debate over the proper meaning of ‘meme’ sprung up, and then she volunteered to take over using Canva, the graphic design tool she uses to market her business.
“PowerPoint is fine. Plus, I’m basically done.” A true statement, but I also knew if I let Susan take over, she would advocate against the Beck quote. I already know this approach is weird and oblique. I want people to have to think about it. I want them to arrive at their own understanding of the alienation I feel because of Tourette. I don’t want to hold their hands and lead them through the maze of my mind, even if they never get it. Which is good; I don’t think anybody got it.
My Facebook following is laughable. Of my one hundred or so friends, I suspect sixty or seventy have unfollowed me, bored with my bitchy anti-Trump sentiments, my weekly spin playlists, and my reshares of silly running memes (at least those are actual memes). Only eight people liked my post. Not much of an impact for Tourette Syndrome awareness. I have no idea how many people read it and didn’t like it, or simply didn’t understand. No one commented, no one asked for clarification.
I considered using my pulpit at the front of the spin room to discuss Tourette Awareness Month, and why the chimpanzee quote is significant to me, but it seemed inappropriate. I worried that the Y might get pissed at me for going off script. So, I’m telling you instead.
The fact that the song title is Loser isn’t lost on me. My disgust with Tourette Syndrome is well documented. I spend untold hours bemoaning my ‘loser’ status, feeling sorry for myself, feeling different from everyone else. This is an area I’m trying to improve, trying to transcend. I’ve made progress, but I’m a work in process.
Take a few minutes to listen to Loser. It’s a great and unique song, unlike anything else recorded (lyrics below).
LOSER
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control Baby’s in Reno with the vitamin D Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Don’t believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park Yo, cut it
Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Double-barrel buckshot) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber ‘Cause one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hanging from a pigeon wing You can’t write if you can’t relate Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite That’s choking on the splinters
Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Get crazy with the cheeze whiz) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Drive-by body pierce) Yo, bring it on down
Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (I can’t believe you) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Sprechen Sie deutsch, baby?) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Know what I’m sayin’?)
“Mmmm.” A dozen voices in unison. Heads nod, claps splatter, polite, but well intentioned. “Wooo, Jenny!” One guy does the snapping thing. By the third reader, I begin to anticipate the Mmmm, an exclamation of knowing approval. After every poem: Mmmm. By coincidence, this happened a couple of weeks ago during an interview. A strong candidate, great experience, but my brain hung up on her Mmmm. For every question we asked: “Mmmm, good question… Mmmm, let me see…” I missed her answers. I obsessed over the Mmmm.
Tonight, the Mmmm is deserved. The poems are great. Every one of them. The reading continues, my heart sinks. I’m out of my league. These guys can write! Happy I brought nothing to share. Mmmm, nods, clap, clap, clap.
~ ~ ~
This visit, for me, was years in the making. A night at a poetry event two decades old. The first Friday of every month, shops up and down the strip serve cheap chardonnay and cubed cheese in a communitywide effort to attract shoppers. People browse, drink, then move to the next store. We skipped that scene, went straight to the Ragged Edge. We bought our drinks, jasmine lime green tea for Susan, a decaf black eye for me.
Black eye: a cup of coffee laced with two shots of espresso. Baristas sometimes give me that look. ‘What’s the point of decaf espresso?’ I say fuck you, just give me my coffee, but silently, in my head. The girl behind the counter didn’t blink an eye. She only charged me for one shot.
I appreciate the coffee shop’s name. Ragged Edge, a clear visual to illustrate the effects of over-caffeination. When I was young and idealistic and abused caffeine for sport, I hoped to open a coffee joint called Jitters with flickering neon sign. An ode to being wired. This predated triple caramel macchiatos and skinny chai lattes. Shops served brewed coffee and espresso. But I never got beyond the name and couldn’t have ridden the coming specialty drink wave, anyway.
They packed them in at the Ragged Edge. Susan and I grabbed the last seats, two thirds of a couch not facing the stage, my head twisted ninety degrees for two hours. Mmmm. Clap, clap-clap, clap. Twice last year I printed a poem on Friday afternoon and stuck it in my pocket. By dinner time I chickened out. As nervous and embarrassed to tell Susan my plan as I was to stand on the stage and read.
I told Katy, one of the organizers, over and over, “Yeah, I’ll need to get in there some month to read.” Years ago, I asked if people ever snuck in prose. “What would happen if I showed up with a flash piece?”
She frowned, “I wouldn’t do that.” And I never did.
As the reading let out, Amy and Dave, friends we arrived with, insisted I should participate, that I could hold my own. Susan agreed. When we got home, I read the poems on my blog. I think I’m right. The First Friday crowd inhabits a higher level, but now I’ve got something to shoot for.
Image from Say Anything… used in accordance with fair use laws for academic analysis
I got out of the shower, threw on some clothes and found Susan in the kitchen brewing coffee. The question burned a hole down to my soul. “If Lloyd Dobler is so cool, why does he play that lame-ass song on his boombox?” Susan knew this reference, do you? John Cusack in the movie Say Anything… stands on Diane Court’s (Ione Skye) lawn, tape deck held above his head, and blasts out In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. This might be THE iconic scene, the crown jewel of the eighties Brat Pack romance memories. An image immediately recognizable by anyone born between 1960 and 1985. And it’s ruined by the blandest song imaginable.
Actual Lyrics from In Your Eyes:
In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes (in your eyes) In your eyes In your eyes (in your eyes) In your eyes (in your eyes)
Okay, I might have cherry-picked those lyrics from the closing bars of the song, but seriously, they use the phrase thirty-one times in the song. Repetitive. Dull. Annoying.
The rest of the music in that movie has an edge. The soundtrack offers a round-up of eighties alternative bands that scream cool: Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Replacements, Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden and Fishbone. Other John Cusack films follow suit. Grosse Point Blank features recurrent soundtrack appearances from the Clash, the Specials, the Pixies, the Jam, and the Violent Femmes. Sort of a who’s who of my Spotify playlist.
In 1989, this music was fringe. In my rural town, it’s still fringe. It’s outside the mainstream, unfamiliar, banished from commercial radio, not pop or country or classic rock, but undeniably hip. People like me, and I suppose the Lloyd Doblers and John Cusacks of the world, think: if everyone could just hear this music, they’d be hooked.
Just like his music, Lloyd Dobler has edge. He’s an outsider looking in, trying to fight conformity in his corner of the world. As a recent high school graduate, when asked what his future plans entail, he replies:
“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.”
He’s the anti-capitalist, a backlash against Reagan’s America.
As a thirty-five-year-old, I played a bar game with friends. We each needed to make a case for which actor would play us in a movie about our life. Naturally, I selected John Cusack. We’re about the same age, the same build, we identify as off-beat outsiders, and we seemingly possess identical taste in music. Same-same, twinsies, why wouldn’t he play me.
And this brings me back to my point. Did Cusack have any creative control in Say Anything…? If so, why did he film such an important scene with THAT song? I wouldn’t have used that song. I would have chosen from hundreds of better, more interesting, livelier eighties love songs. A handful of suggestions off the top of my head:
Obsession by Animotion Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper When Doves Cry by Prince Almost anything by the Cure
Susan responded to my post-shower question: “The chicks dig it.” OK, she didn’t say “the chicks dig it,” that’s something I would say. She said something along the lines of “people love that song.” So Cusack green-lit In Your Eyes because it’s a crowd-pleaser, something for the masses, even though it’s a song Lloyd Dobler would never listen to. I’m going to name this phenomenon the Dobler Effect—when someone prefers fringe music but blanderizes their musical taste to accommodate the people around them.
Yes, this is a play on words, a nod to the Doppler Effect. Doppler Effect (n): the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. Did that make any sense? It’s just a complicated way of describing something we already innately know. Think of a British ambulance. As the ambulance approaches, the neee-nuuu neee-nuuu pitch becomes higher and higher. After the ambulance passes, it gets lower and lower.
In each of these effects—Dobler and Doppler—a person’s perspective impacts the way they hear the sound. Susan points this out frequently. While listening to the same song, we hear very different music. I hear an intricate guitar solo in the random feedback of the Dream Syndicate. I conjure a melody in the jangly, atonal stummings of the Gang of Four. I pick up crooning in Johnny Lydon’s grating voice. I find solace and relaxation in the scraping guitars and screamed lyrics of Sonic Youth. Someone else considers In Your Eyes symphonic. I want to yawn.
Is it my neurodiversity? My rebellious nature? The fact that I was raised by a man who listened to Herb Albert and the Tiajuana Brass? I’m not sure, but I think genetics play a role. I can almost discern a member of my tribe just by looking at them.
It doesn’t surprise me that Lloyd Dobler woos Diane Court with a boring hit single. I do this all the time. As I create the playlists for the indoor cycle (spin) classes I instruct, I make sure I include four or five accessible songs, the crowd pleasers. Not boring songs, certainly, but songs everybody knows and likes. When someone walks away from my class thinking “what the hell was that,” I also want them thinking “oh, right, he played X, Y and Z, too.” We all do this, I think, those of us outside mainstream music. I have separate playlists in Spotify to play when I’m around other people. My principal playlist, Radio Jeff, is just for me. No one else would tolerate it.
I suspect the Dobler Effect and its non-musical cousins are familiar to most of us. We constantly make concessions to ease the discomfort of those around us. We drive slower for our spouse. We cook simpler meals for our kids. We dress in ways our boss deems appropriate. I’m sure each of us has an area where we naturally bend the norms of society. What’s telling is how we deal with that desire. Do we steadfastly plow ahead, refusing to give in, or do we recognize that compromise is necessary for civil society. Hopefully the latter, but Christ, In Your Eyes? C’mon Lloyd, you can do better than that.
Below is a recent spin playlist, one of my most accessible, actually. Constructing this mix was what got me thinking about the Dobler Effect and music-for-the-masses in the first place. Yes, this is what I consider music-for-the-masses.

与此同时，特朗普的妻子梅拉尼娅也在社交媒体上宣布了她的代币上线，进一步推动了币圈的热潮。尽管这对整个市场造成了短暂的动荡，但很快比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）等主流加密货币就恢复了稳定。以太网上也有一个TRUMP币/MAGA=Make America Great Again，在SOL懂王上线TRUMP币后就跌了很多。
孙宇晨正式担任特朗普家族加密项目顾问 TRON 11月27日，据官方公告，孙宇晨现已成为唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump)家族加密货币项目 World Liberty Financia的顾问。World Liberty 在X上表示:“孙宇晨的见解和经验将对我们继续创新和发展起到重要作用。” 此前消息，孙宇晨向特朗普家族加密 货 币 项目投 资3000万美元，为该项目最大投资者。
“Not Your Keys, Not Your Funds.” 币圈里，这句格言几乎家喻户晓，强调了加密货币去中心化管理的核心理念。它提醒所有人，如果你的私钥由第三方托管，比如交易所或托管服务，那么你的资金安全就完全依赖于他们的运营能力和诚信。一旦这些机构遭遇黑客攻击、破产或政策限制，你的资产可能瞬间化为乌有。正因如此，越来越多的加密货币爱好者选择将密钥掌控在自己手中，尽管这意味着需要承担更多的责任和风险。
第一次接触 EDC 这个概念是在罗磊的博客，一个视频介绍他从 9 元到 900 元的常备物品，才了解到 EDC 全称为 Every Day Carry。读书的时候，每天身上就是一部手机、一个耳机，一本书、一支笔，根本谈不上 EDC，工作之后每天携带的东西多了，也更加固定了，这才有机会来分享我作为一个普通人，一个打工人，日常 EDC 有哪些东西。

Genesis Block的数据中嵌入了一条引人深思的信息，来自《泰晤士报》当天的一则标题：“Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”（财政大臣处于第二次救助银行的边缘）。这条信息不仅证明了区块在当日确实被生成，还隐含了比特币诞生的背景：对传统金融体系的不满和对去中心化货币的追求。这一信息体现了比特币作为抗议传统金融体系的象征性意义。
其次，Genesis Block的区块头中包含了区块链标准的一些重要数据。例如，它包含一个区块版本号、时间戳、难度目标和随机数（Nonce），这些数据是用来证明区块是通过工作量证明（Proof of Work）生成的。
最引人注目的部分是Genesis Block的“额外数据”字段，其中嵌入了一条来自《泰晤士报》的信息：“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”（《泰晤士报》2009年1月3日：财政大臣正处于第二次救助银行的边缘）。这条信息不仅充当了Genesis Block生成时间的一个“时间戳”，还传递了中本聪对传统金融体系的不满与批判。它反映了比特币的核心理念：希望通过去中心化和透明化，创造一种不依赖传统银行体系的货币。

定投比特币就是发财致富
如果你对投资一窍不通，其实也可以选择一种最简单的方法：定投比特币。不用去冒险尝试其他更复杂或波动性更大的加密货币，甚至第二加密货币ETH（以太坊）在更换了PoS/Proof of Stake共识算法后也有一定的风险。比特币作为全球首个且最具共识的加密货币，其归零的概率已经微乎其微。

在我的生活中，听歌这项算是不可或缺的部分。相比以前，现在听的确实少了许多，为人父的我歌单里也多了儿歌集合。这么多年来在某种程度上讲音乐是我的避风港和精神支柱，音乐是可以超越很多的存在，起码用在我身上能让我感觉到心情的静谧放松和心灵的治愈，让我能在浮躁焦虑或悲伤不快时得以平静，偶尔还能激发灵感。我非常喜欢听音乐，但仅限于听，对音乐的什么流派风格不懂，只知道我现在听的音乐风格应该是Jazz/Chill/Lofi Hip Hop之类会多一些，这种音乐风格满足了我对旋律和节奏的需求。
后街男孩《I Want It That Way》、邦乔维《It’s My Life》、Bobby Tinsley《I’m Missing U》、吹牛老爹Puff Daddy《I’ll Be Missing You》没错最近丑闻被捕的那位、Leona Lewis《Better In Time》、Coldplay《Viva La Vida》《Yellow》、奈利《Dilemma》、Shayen Ward《Until You》、Rachael Yamagata《Be Be Your Love》等等…，太多太多了！很多80后对这些歌应该大都耳熟能详，那会儿还非常喜欢听蓝调之父娃娃脸Babyface的歌曲，Rachael Yamagata会常来中国办现场，17年在广州办时去过。那时还会挑选喜欢的歌剪出高潮部分作为手机铃声。
特别讲一下Nujabes，本名濑叶淳，算得上是日系爵士嘻哈标志性人物。因《混沌武士》让我知道了他，让我知道了有这样一个音乐风格，并让我的音乐喜好发生了不小转变保持至今。他的音乐独特之处在于能把很多爵士经典精巧取样后融入自己另辟蹊径的音乐风格中，爵士乐的旋律与现代嘻哈的节奏融合在一起，不失节奏活力又能让我置身宁静的感觉，氛围温柔舒缓，很奇怪，我就这样喜欢上了，这应该就是Mellow Hip Hop的魅力。可惜的是这位音乐鬼才于2010年2月26日因车祸去世…

昨天我说出我对NAS存在坏硬盘的阴影时，老刘说我这是因噎废食。想想也是，NAS上硬盘坏了的直接原因是硬盘本身的质量问题，而不能去怪Nas。那就把吃灰的NAS重新折腾起来吧。目前我的硬件环境是用的J4125小主机外拖一个硬盘盒，里面是拆机的硬盘1T和4T各一块，搞的all in one。选用ESXI做的底层，ikuai爱快做主路由拨号，openwrt做旁路由负责科学等，另外通过一键脚本安装了黑群晖DSM。J4125主机资源还没有用完，准备再搞个Debian来折腾。那个黑群晖自安装后就一直吃灰，后来干脆把电源都给关了，昨天晚上回到家，才连上ESXI给NAS开了机。
Cloud Sync 是 Synology NAS 提供的一个功能，允许用户将本地 NAS 数据与云存储服务（如 Google Drive、Dropbox、OneDrive 等）进行同步。这个功能非常适合需要备份数据、实现数据冗余或在不同设备间访问文件的用户。以下是 Cloud Sync 的主要功能、使用场景以及设置步骤。主要功能：双向同步、单向同步、增量同步、自定义同步规则、版本控制、调度同步、文件过滤等。
Build in Public 中文意思是“公开构建”，即将构建产品的过程公开。初次听说时，略显得反商业直觉。但近 10 多年，每年都有采用此策略成功的公司。比如 2014 年的 Ghost，2018 年 Nomad List，Fast、Blogging for Devs、CopyAI、TailwindCSS、Vim.so、Affilimate 等。
优点不必多说，除了上面提到的彩蛋外，还有在大陆院线很罕见的R18级血腥暴力镜头，大量疼痛和血浆都几乎原味呈现（尺度与死侍1和2以及所有金刚狼电影持平，甚至更甚），两个角色的设定也放大了这种暴力。不过观影过程还是能明显感觉到有些地方删减的痕迹比较明显，事后搜索发现大陆院线上映版本会比国际版少两分钟（128min vs 126min），根据网上看过两个版本的网友反映，删减的两分钟大部分是更加血腥的动作戏和一些可能的黄色场面。毫无疑问，电影上线流媒体必须要收藏一份。
MCU 已经有太久没有出现这么好看的一部影视剧了。自第三阶段结束以来，好看的影视剧屈指可数：第四阶段的《旺达幻视》、《洛基》第一季，《月光骑士》勉强算上，电影更是全面扑街；第五阶段的《银河护卫队3》和这部《洛基》第二季。超英电影大势已去，隔壁 DC 在华纳的骚操作下不断重启，这边漫威高管和制作组像被下降头一样。能有一部洛基2，还得感谢这个系列的编剧麦可·沃尔德伦，他曾经担任过《瑞克和莫蒂》的编剧。
第二季的故事紧接着第一季，女洛基 Sylvie 在时间尽头一刀捅死征服者康遗留之人，从而使得多元宇宙失控，展开第二季的故事。这一季前几集的故事较为枯燥，文戏非常多，大部分时间在讲述时间小姐、拉芙娜和康的其中一个变体 Victor Timely 的故事，给到洛基的故事线并不长。但后三集渐入佳境，修复时间隐力的主线剧情很抓人，洛基通过在时间变异管理局的各类事件，终于成长为一个真正的神，人物弧光极其完整，又能使人共鸣。
孩子获得英国小学数学竞赛PMC: Golden Award Winner 那天我娃给我这个奖状，不过我个人感觉没啥含金量，毕竟学校经常搞这种比赛，目的就是鼓励学生。 娃说，他们年级（五年级），就他一人是 Golden Award Winner，六年级有11个，一个是12个，原来五六年级考试是一样的卷子。孩子说他们班有个女生差一分就是Gold，一共有25题，错3题或3题以内就是金奖。 我娃说，可能六年级才有可能进入下一轮，不过我觉得很有可能他也会像他哥哥一样，代表学校去参加什么数学邀请赛。在英国，华人家庭的孩子数学能力相比英国人都强太多，当然也有可能是我平时教他们编程的影响。 英国孩子在小学阶段参加正式数学竞赛机会很少，最普遍的就是由英国数学学会(Mathematical Association)所组织的“第一次数学挑战赛” （First Mathematics Challenge, 简称FMC）, 和“小学数学挑战”(Primary Maths Challenge,...

LTSC（Long-TermServicingChannel：长期服务通道）是Windows企业版的特殊版本，LTSC即长期服务频道为企业特定用户提供长达五年甚至十年支持，在有效的生命支持周期内用户无需升级操作系统。微软大约每三年发布一次新的LTSC版本的Windows。使用LTSC版本的用户不会像普通版本一样被强制更新。为了确保稳定性，LTSC 版本砍掉了 Microsoft Store、Microsoft Edge 等需要频繁更新的默认应用程序，这意味着，无法直接从 Microsoft Store 安装应用或渐进式网络应用程序（PWA）。
