#Car Rental Darwin

the combination of like, bloke culture - toxic masculinity, if u like, but more so the suffer in silence, I'll get through it myself type - whatever illness afflicts low-income, tradie-class, largely non-academic, Bundabergian families; and generations of absentee parenting has all rlly, rlly done a number on my siblings and I.

Thursday, August 1 - Broome to sailing away

We got up shortly after sunrise, packed our bags, cleaned up our apartment, and were on our way towards downtown Broome by 9 AM. We checked out the hotel where we were supposed to leave our bags and also later take our shuttle from, and they were just finishing setting up when we arrived and we were able to leave our bags earlier than we thought. We found out we were scheduled on the 12:30 bus, which gave us a few hours to explore more of Broome.

We had seen many of the highlights the day before, and most of Broome today is jewelry stores selling pearls, and t-shirt an.d souvenir shops. The rebuilt metal sided buildings resembled many of the cruise port shopping areas in the Caribbean - even Chinatown was mostly tourist traps. The one interesting place was the Sun movie theater, which I had read about before. It's over 100 years old, and has been in continuous operation since 1916. The front area is open air, but covered, but the screen and seating are in an open courtyard. They currently show first-run movies - a double feature every evening. In the "lobby" they have lots of old projectors and publicity displays from the golden era of movies. It would have been fun to take in a show, but it was far from our apartment, and we were just too tired the first night, and riding camels the second.

Wandering around town, it's hard to believe there would be enough traffic and sales to keep at least 10 pearl jewelry stores in business, especially since many of the ships that cruise here only don't for several months in their winter. Cable Beach is also popular for tourists, but it's on the other side of the peninsula, and has its own tourist infrastructure. While we were downtown we did check out the original jetty used by the pearl industry - now the area is so silted up it would be impossible to get boats to dock there.

Unlike yesterday's cloudy morning, today it was sunny and getting quite hot, so we decided we had seen enough, and took our car back to the rental car facility, and then walked back over to our meeting hotel. Here there was now a hospitality room, where we waited for our bus. Just before we were called for our bus, we were overlooking the mangroves and saw a bird called the Rainbow Bee-eater - one of the most colorful birds we have seen so far in Australia.

The rest of the day was a bit of a whirlwind - bus to the port, very easy check-in on the ship, and then the unpacking is and settling in, combined with orientation for tomorrow's excursion. We are in an early group, and so decided to have our dinner at the sushi bar up in "the Club", and then get to bed early. Being the sister ship to the one we took to Australia, we already knew where everything was on board.

Quick explanation of some of the photos - the drag bingo sign was outside a bar - it does appear legitimate. The pie shop sign was near the airport, and really did do drive thru pies - a new one to us. The big tree is a baobab - there are lots planted around town.

We are in the first group to go out tomorrow on our Zodiac excursion, so will get a good night's sleep. One of the things they have chosen to do on the ship is change immediately to the time in Darwin, where we will be on the 11th. By moving our clocks forward 1-1/2 hours (yes, it's one of those crazy time zones) we will be able to shift sunrise and sunset later, and have sunrise at a more humane 7:45, and the sunset around 7, rather than 5:30. Tomorrow should be an interesting day.

Reading about Tony Tether's tenure as DARPA director (June 2001-February 2008). He seems like he'd make a great TED Talk speaker.

Over [...] three weeks, Tether and a handful of office directors worked days, nights, and weekends to prepare to brief the vice president. Cheney “was a person who liked pictures, he is a very visual person,” Tether recounted. “So, having a slide with a whole bunch of words on it was just, ‘oh, wow,’ you don’t ever do that to him. You know, you give him a cartoon.” Tether recounted that he wanted something that would blow the vice president away, and so the cartoon he chose for Cheney was Superman.

The headlining act for the vice president would be super soldiers [...] humans who could survive severe blood loss in suspended animation, soldiers who could go for days without food or sleep, and warriors enhanced with superhuman strength and mental abilities.

Just two miles from the burning Pentagon, a small DARPA-financed laboratory on Washington Boulevard, across from the army’s Fort Myer, had been quietly rehearsing terrorist scenarios for senior defense and intelligence officials, trying to convince them that terrorist attacks could be detected well before they are perpetrated. The key was to sift through vast amounts of data—both public information and intelligence records—to identify patterns of activities that might indicate that terrorists were preparing an attack. The intelligence data could be from intercepted phone calls, e-mails, or Internet traffic. The public data might include credit card transactions, doctor visits, and car rental records. The laboratory was designed to demonstrate what could be done if all of that data could be linked together and treated as a single database.

The “laboratory” was all smoke and mirrors, at least in the fall of 2001. A Hollywood set designer had been hired to create the futuristic-looking command-and-control center with large, sleek display screens and flashing lights. The humming computers were not churning any real data. There was research going on at companies and universities, but the laboratory was just a showcase to convince intelligence officials that data, or more important, spotting patterns in data, could help predict the next terrorist attack.

DARPATech, the semiannual DARPA conference, had once been a staid technical meeting held in cities like Denver and Dallas, but Tony Tether wanted to make a public splash, so in 2002 he moved the venue to Disneyland in California. “We have had a lot of fun creating this symposium,” Tether said in the keynote speech. “Part of the fun was each office finding a Disneyland-like theme for what it does.” (The theme for the Information Awareness Office featured the Star Wars androids, C-3PO and R2-D2.) [---]

Over his nearly eight years as agency director, Tether would hold all four DARPATech conventions at Disneyland, featuring speeches punctuated by Star Wars theme music and schwag that included DARPA-embellished playing cards, custom DARPA-logo golf balls, and T-shirts decorated with armed drones. “Welcome to our world!” Tony Tether said, beaming to the audience in the opening ceremony in March 2004. “A world where science fiction morphs into reality.”

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the technology for detecting neural signals was rudimentary; forty years after that initial DARPA program, the technology had evolved, but scientists still disagreed over the interpretation of those signals. For example, scientists had developed better ways to detect the P300, a brain signal that occurs about three hundred milliseconds after a stimulus, like a specific sight or sound. Yet DARPA’s vision for augmented cognition assumed that such brain signals, which were still being studied in the lab, could be used to start immediately building the equivalent of mind-reading caps for the military. It was science fiction, quite literally.

To illustrate its vision, the agency enlisted the services of Alexander Singer, a Hollywood television director best known for the new Star Trek series, Deep Space Nine, to create a half-hour mini-film depicting augmented cognition. The video, inspired by the Star Trek holodeck, opened with lingering shots of groundbreaking scientists: Charles Darwin, father of evolution theory; B. F. Skinner, famous for operant conditioning; and Hans Berger, inventor of electro​encephalo​graphy. It then flashed to DARPA’s Dylan Schmorrow, credited as the father of augmented cognition. The science fiction story line featured a cyber-security officer, Claudia, who must head off a cyber attack designed to destabilize Africa. Claudia is outfitted with a headpiece that monitors her cognitive state, and the computer parses out information to speed her decisions, with occasional interruptions by a Yoda-like cyber chief teleconferenced in from a fishing vacation. “We may be looking at an anomaly, big time,” Claudia declares.

TDBM Thinkie Thoughts 5.7

My weekly post of little things which didn't fit into other posts. (Only 2 more! Sob!) I'd felt like 4.7 and 4.8 had this odd disjointed quality, as though they actually should have been a two part arc.  I sense that 5.7 and 5.8 may end up with same way.  The character stories have all come to the front but need the resolution in 5.8 before I feel like I can truly critique what's happened.

Not that it will stop me from flapping my lips...

That flash car of Edward's...It was cool when Patrick was driving this old vehicle in 3.8, but it seems a bit out of place for a young man.  I'd expect him in some Jaguar convertible or something.  Yes, it's wrong and Edward's gross, but why is there more spark and interest in Edward's weird and uncomfortable pursuit of Rose than the studied 'courtship' of Charlie and Rose?

Rewatching and knowing that a murder will happen soon, I can't figure out when everyone had time to get guns and murder someone and fire guns in the quiet of night and there's a raging fire going on and Eileen was calling from the murderer's house and my head hurts.    

So...Just sayin'....Jean picks the murderer to find attractive, AGAIN.  And I'm with Lucien, I don't care how many times she says that Lionel was Christopher's friend, I think she has some interest.  

Ned's sullen expression as he stands in the background; he knows.

Maybe it's because it's all in the news, but Edward seems to follow the How to Sexually Harass Your Direct Report handbook with his creepy moves!  And Rose, girlfriend, remember when you were assuring Charlie that Edward didn't think of you that way?  We all said UH HUH.  And now we get to smirk knowingly.  UH HUH.

Great acoustics in the church for Jean to spontaneously sing.  Jack's 'headstrong', eh?  Oh, Jean, honey...  

How would Lucien know the smell of sump oil?  The man who didn't know how a car works? In the US, it would be creosote, and that's a very distinct odor, but would non-farm sorts would know it?  

Love the Italian couple.  The wife just keeps talking even though no one understands her.

Norm Baker, self-righteous, but also lying through his teeth. One thing I like about this episode is how every character is right and wrong.    

Speaking of which, Charlie steals evidence, the envelope from the lawyer?  Uh, what?

Now is time for poor Rose to beat off Edward in that achingly familiar fashion. But when she claims that her date with Charlie has, "...been arranged for ages," and if that's true, Charlie is the dullest boyfriend ever.  He won't be luring her to a field for a picnic any time soon.  And in her haste, I think she called him Charlie Davidson.  

But when Edward says, "I thought you were ready," he's such a creepy grooming creep.  

Watching Lucien and Jean decorate the tree, I have to agree with Matthew that there were too many empty spots.

I kinda love that one big ol' brown dawg that was hired to bark in every scene that he's in.  

Although I'm saving thoughts on Lucien's drinking until 5.8, I'll note that yes, Lucien had to drink to butter up Angelo, but he drank alot.  Alot.  CM does that sort of loose drunk well.  That said, it's the grappa that got him.  Shouldn't have drunk that whole glass.  But I think it was important to show that Lucien doesn't drink because he's upset in a particular moment, and this scene, with happy Lucien, in the midst of his investigation--why does he need to get drunk?    

I did really love Angelo promising the grappa would put Italian hairs on your chest and Lucien saying, "Here's hoping."  That was sexy.    

Jean gardens in pumps?  I know I'm supposed to be noting the tension in the scene, but I'm too fixated on this.  

I love how Norman knows just what to say to Lucien, how to twist the knife: "Were you drunk then too?  The day that you had her arrested?"

And when Lucien wipes his mouth, it's the gesture of a drunk, and how he obviously has to think to answer, it was just a kick to the gut moment.

For the rest of the day, he's reverting to S4 and doing his hiding thing.  He has to know Jean's upset and probably furious, so there's no rush to go home.  But when he does, she comes popping out where she's been lurking, waiting, angry, until he arrives.  They  haven't been seen touching or kissing all episode, and her cheek pressed to his cheek highlights this.  Such a killer scene.  

Next morning, he tries the ol' pretending nothing's wrong, flattery at breakfast, which Jean isn't buying at all, and then let's his jealousy rise to the surface.  His low self-esteem--waiting for rejection by the woman he loves--twists what she said about Lionel into something that fits his narrative at exactly the wrong moment.  Charlie starts mentally flipping through the rental listings...

Lawson's snark is strong this episode: "Mr Darwin have any theories on drinking?"  Which is actually funny because it's years before genetics and DNA is truly understood, which would explain Lucien's tendency for addiction.  

Is every single child in this town NOT fathered by the husband?  This all doesn't bode will for Lucien actually being Thomas Blake's son.  

When we see the crime, all I can think is, some Olympic shooter.  Couldn't even kill his Dad at close range.

Kevin, "I wish we'd all just let it burn." sounding like Jack and his I hate this place which had reminded me of Lucien fleeing town.  So every young man hates Ballarat?   

Jean's line is fabulous: "Never going to be any easy options for us," can be taken both literally and figuratively, meaning they're literally stuck with the divorce, and figuratively with Lucien's self-destructive tendencies.
