De acordo com o site 365Artists, Goetz B está/esteve mixando algumas faixas para Utada.

De acordo com o site:

Goetz já terminou de produzir e mixar faixas para o último álbum de Skye com Alexis Smith, e deve começar a mixar faixas para Hikaru Utada (EMI).

Não diz especificamente se é para um álbum ou single, mas é mais provável que seja para o próximo álbum japonês. Goetz mixou o single “Keep Tryin’ ” e algumas faixas do “ULTRA BLUE”.

A página foi atualizada em Maio de 2009, na época que Utada foi diagnosticada com peritonsillitis e cancelou a promoção do álbum This Is The One. Então deduz-se que desde então ela vem trabalhando em seu álbum japonês.

Em um post de seu blog, Hikki disse que estava colocando um pouco de “mágica germânica” em sua música, sendo que Goetz é um nome gêrmanico.

Today we sat with Goetz Frank after dinner in the living room to hear about and discuss the use of concepts in today’s society, focussing on the ‘concept of ideas’ and the use of propaganda or ‘public relations’ in the modern world.

HomeFed Corp. sold the office building at 1215 San Elijo Road in San Marcos, CA, to Robert E. Goetz for $1.95 million, or approximately $300 per square foot.

The two-story property was formerly the office and visitor’s center for San Elijo Hills, a residential community in San Diego’s North County. It was completed in 2001 and measures 6,450 square feet.

The buyer plans to occupy the property with a marketing company and an eatery. Kevin Farrell, Deborah Hunkeler and Jay Arnett of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller. Doug Harwood of Coldwell Banker represented the buyer.

Most of my writing energy this week has gone into preparation of a guest sermon I’m giving at church this Sunday. It’s partly on a book called Death by Suburb, by David Goetz. My main theme is envy, and how to stay out of the trap of comparing oneself to others. But I also managed to drag in the Seven Deadly Sins, St. Francis, first graders on the playground, and evil alien accountants.

As research, I walked the dog today in one of the toniest suburbs in America: Winnetka, IL –site of some of those Brat Pack/John Hughes movies of the Eighties, like The Breakfast Club (I drove right past that school on the way over there).

There’s a certain ravine there that Sheridan Road runs right through, and the road twists and turns sharply through woods for less than a quarter mile. Yet it’s the only spot for hundreds of miles that even remotely resembles the dozens of steep, fun switchback roads we were driving on in Italy last month. So Winnetka will have to do in a pinch, when I wanna play Speed Racer in my boring four-cylinder automatic Pontiac Vibe that my neighbor says feels like driving a toaster. (I drove a rented BMW manual 6-speed in Italy, not a high end model, but a more interesting car nevertheless.)

And as I drove and then walked through Winnetka, rubbernecking the fine architecture and carefully groomed gardens, I realized that while I’m no longer as envious as I once was of these people in their lakefront castles, I’m not entirely over it either. I want to be both a monk AND a millionaire. As usual, I want to have my cake and eat it, too.

Maybe next week I’ll post some or all of the sermon.

Do you want to smoke up and get romantic at the same time. One of the most popular plants on earth is getting some reform. This candle is made out of cannabis and smells like a sexy joint. It might not get you as high as you want but it sure with leave you lustful and hazed out. Malin + Goetz are introducing it to their stands and its set to turns head. It will probably cost more than a joint and not get you high at all. If you’re into that sort of thing.

Das Leben als Krankheit. Denken als Selbstheilung. Wie die Krankheit geht das Leben auf den Tod zu. Wir müssen uns ständig behandeln, heilen. In einem gewissen Sinne medizinische Eingriffe an sich selbst. Leben heißt Leben verlängern. Welche Medikamente muss ich mir zuführen, um Erfolg zu haben? Oder um weiterzuleben. Was ist das erfolglose Leben? Die Pharmazie des Lebens. Der Rausch als künstlich herbeigeführte Krankheit. Der Gegenbegriff zum Leben ist nicht der Tod, sondern die Krankheit – sie stellt den gegenläufigen Prozess dar. Gewissermaßen als Sterben. Leben ist Sterben und gleichzeitig das Gegenteil davon. Leben ist immer gegen das Sterben angelegt und gleichzeitig ist es ein Sterben.
Genug.

The guy who actually did start the fire is running for office. Bernie Goetz is running for the Independence Party’s nomination for…um…a committee…council…guy…or something. In New York. I mean, you know, finally! Right?

So let’s sing it!

Foreign debts, homeless vets
Bernie’s for the In-de-pend’ce
Corrupt Alaska sen-a-tor
I can’t take it anymore!

That’s not very good, actually. Good thing this is only the Internet.

Wochenende, im Gedicht

niemals tief im Dunkeln wühlen.
Willst du dir dein Mütchen kühlen,
musst du tausend Fehler machen.

One of many great things when working at Sun is you get to meet some of the smartest people in the industry, and Brian Goetz is one of them. Brian Goetz is the author of Java Concurrency in Practice, a must read for anyone who programs in Java and has to deal with threads, locks, memory, performance, and the likes at some point.

Mr. Goetz is the speaker at our Brown Bag TechTalk this week, and the topic is one of my favorite, “Java Performance Myths”.  You probably heard a lot of myths regarding Java, some are true, some were true at one point of time, some are just flatly false. 

Some common myths are:

• Java is slow
• Garbage-collection is slow
• Synchronization is slow
• Object allocation is slow
• Making methods “final” makes them faster

During the session, Mr. Goetz went over some of these myths, commented on their origins, and how these myths are no more myths thanks to some major improvements made to the modern JVM. For example, garbage-collection was made orders of magnitude faster by switching to generation-partitioned heap. Synchronization cost was reduced by JVM through the uses of adaptive locking, lock coalescing, lock elision, etc.  See the References section for more details.

The take home lessons from the session? Don’t try to outsmart the JVM. Small performance tricks are not worth the effort. Important to make your code clean and functionality correct first, ie.,  the classic Double-checked locking scheme.  JVM optimization will do the rest for you, most of the time.

With multi-cored CPUs a standard on modern day hardwares, it is especially important to utilize the concurrent capability of Java programming language to scale you application when it has more processing power.  But Java concurrency can be tricky to even the experts, and the pitfalls are difficult to reproduce, and they can be hidden in your code for a long time before they crash your application at mission critical time.

You can get a better understanding of Java concurrency by reading Brian Goetz’s book on Java Concurrency in Practice, I found it very useful and real enlightenment to read it from cover to cover.
