A Programmatic Note
April 7th, 2014
Should anyone care to know, of late I have sort of taken to ‘micro-blogging’
of sorts – for any number of reasons. I
do this ‘micro-blogging’ on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/,
specifically at: https://www.facebook.com/adam.trotter.5
, or “adam.trotter.5” on Facebook, or something like that); and I will likely
continue to do so for the indefinite future or however long Facebook should
choose to allow me to do so – or until whenever for something different for a while.
Notably, I have historically been resistant to linking/pointing
from my blogs to my Facebook account/profile/page. But of late, as I said, I have sort of taken
to ‘micro-blogging’ thereon. I will
still blog here though as well – again, should anyone care. Actually, many of my Facebook posts are/were
sort of a cataloging of my blog ideas that I might/planned to revisit and
expand into full-length blog entries here on Blogger/Blogspot (www.blogger.com , [blog name].blogspot.com). But anyway, Facebook is kind of fun and I can
often more quickly cover more ground there also (maybe). So, feel free and welcome to check out my
thoughts there on Facebook – again, should anyone care to. You can comment all you want there on
Facebook as well. But, worthy of note
and maybe ironically, I don’t really do the friend thing there all that much –
as I sort of think of ‘friends’ as a personal issue. But all are welcome to review my posts that
are posted for public review – of which the majority of posts/entries are
posted for the public (or whomever). But
also remember all are welcome to come back here to this blog on blogger (http://engineeringandcommerce.blogspot.com/) to check out my thoughts here too – but I actually
often note any new blogger blog entries on Facebook too, but not always.
Oh yea…, if you would, don’t forget to look at the website
once in a while, should you feel inclined to do so. “TornadoTamer.org” is only one site but can be located at any of the
following website addresses / URLs: http://tornadotamer.org/ , http://www.tornadotamer.org/ , http://adamtrotter.com/
, http://adamtrotter.org/, http://adamtrotter.net/, among a few others
actually. :)
Again, should anyone care:
My Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/adam.trotter.5
, (or “adam.trotter.5” on Facebook, or something like that) if I’m not in error
– and hopefully I am not. :) Maybe we’ll see you there or hear from you
there. Thanks for looking at this blog
post entry and any others of mine that you may have reviewed in the past.
Best wishes to all.

After thought (April 2021)
Since
the majority of social media such as Facebook and Twitter have taken to
capriciously censoring some expressed thoughts while allowing others
with which those who control those platforms might agree, I no longer
look to express many thoughts of any substance on those platforms.
Freedom of expression seems more under attack than ever before.

The People's Court Puppy Case. I'm Still With Grotius!
October 25th, 2013.
To: Judge Marilyn Milian, The People’s Court (http://peoplescourt.warnerbros.com/),
I enjoy your television show but I disagree with your recent
ruling over the undelivered pick-of-the-litter puppy – which aired today on
KCAL 9, Los Angeles.
Given the partial facts I heard from the case which included
an offer of $450 for the pick-of-the-litter puppy, regarding the denial/rejection
of the offer to buy a puppy after the breeder/offeree had apparently previously
accepted the same offer and the subsequent law suit for the value of the puppy and
lost profits in the form of future stud fees by the frustrated buyer/offeror
which was the subject of your ruling, I disagree with your verdict for the
plaintiff/offeror. If anything, I would
say the buyer/offeror is merely entitled to the return of her deposit. Nevertheless it was sort of bizarre behavior
by the breeder to not allow the plaintiff an opportunity to match the second offer. But it was not bizarre at all for the breeder to accept the later/second offer from a third party which doubled the amount offered by the plaintiff for the same dog. Either way, the breeder’s/offeree’s
behavior was not contrary to contract law/theory, in my opinion. As I have stated elsewhere still applies to this pick-of-the-litter puppy case: "I’m with
Grotius." (See: I’m with Grotius – and maybe with Dodds too,
but not with Dickerson; located at http://engineeringandcommerce.blogspot.com/2013/02/im-with-grotius-and-maybe-with-dodds.html.)
But in the end, I really have no problem with your awarding
the plaintiff the value of the dog if that is what she had invested in the
rescinded deal – if such a rescission actually took place, of which I am
skeptical. I am skeptical because I
don't believe a deal was ever officially agreed upon nor was any deal actually
set to transpire - as there was no writing in the matter, regardless of any
feigned acceptance or not. (Again, I
didn’t hear all the facts as I tuned in late.) (See: ‘The peril of perjury and
error is latent in the spoken promise’ – Cordozo; at http://engineeringandcommerce.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-peril-of-perjury-and-error-is.html.)
However, I wanted to blog that I disagree with the typical
run-of-mill offer-and-acceptance baloney.
The offer has not been accepted until the full
compensation/consideration has been exchanged, in my humble opinion (see the referenced link '...Grotius' above for more information). Of course, many a law school may have many a
problem with my outlook on many a legal matter – but nary an offeree would! :)

Gyroscopes in Space
Gyroscopes in space.
Or maybe…, gyroscopes within gyroscopes in space. Redesigned, redundant and complementary
generators – or motors, depending on one’s terminology and perspective. Sort of a gravity-driven power.
But..., to speak in “Star
Trek” terms, could a photon torpedo type of energy be delivered and
utilized? Either way, better results
might likely be had if we were to team together to that end, worth noting if
you hadn’t already.

Trader Joe’s Sues Vancouver’s Pirate Joe’s, now known as Irate Joe’s.
Trader Joe’s sues Vancouver’s Pirate Joe’s, now known as
Irate Joe’s. I think I might try to look into this matter some more before I make an actual blog entry on the topic.
AVT Sept., 2013
Background info for now:
August 20th, 2013
I first heard on the local Los Angeles television news that food-store
destination Trader Joe’s has filed a lawsuit in Seattle against a Canadian merchant
who travels to Washington State to purchase Trader Joe’s goods then resells the
goods in Vancouver, British Columbia. (It seems like there could be jurisdictional problems to me, but...) As the news reported, 'Pirate Joe'
regularly travels to nearby Washington
State and purchases
$22,000 worth of goods a month.
Originally, he said he did this for the Trader Joe’s crackers, as ‘one can’t
find a decent cracker in Canada,’
he added. No doubt! Pirate Joe also originally said he would
cease business when and if Trader Joe's ever opens a store in Canada (or Vancouver,
I don’t remember).
Now, Trader Joe’s has decided to put a stop to it all and
has filed suit against Pirate Joe's.
