    Cult of Paradox

    January 31, 2008 /

    I don’t get it, can someone explain how buying/using Apple products, especially iPods or iTunes, is not supporting DRM? Because I can understand wanting cool gear, and I can even understand sacrificing your morals for cool gear… But let’s be honest about it, yeah? Fuck DRM, fuck non-replaceable batteries, fuck a one-button mouse. Period.

    Upgrading to MT 4.1

    January 29, 2008 /

    I finally got everything around here working smoothly for the past month, so…. That’s right, it’s time for another upgrade! This time it’s from Movable Type 4.01 to 4.1… Hope this install goes smoother than the last one, and that Dreamhost doesn’t let me down or bill me for two years in advance again (Dreamhost customer joke). If I disappear from the ether for a while, don’t worry, I’ll be back somehow, sometime.

    Awesome, even though the kozutsumi plays it a little too loose at the end. Also, I noticed that Asahi Television has been telling Youtube to take down other instances of this clip recently, so here’s a longer alternate version if the one above isn’t viewable: LINK

    Contradiction: American Wagyu

    January 26, 2008 /

    This article about Kobe and pseudo-Kobe beef was interesting, but kind of pissed me off: Raising the Steaks I mean, the author is passing judgment on a practice he’s never seen first-hand? I lived in Japan for many years, knew a lot of people raising cattle, and I never saw a single cow living in a lean-to (I can’t remember seeing any lean-tos in Japan!). I sure saw a lot living in barns, open pastures, and ranches, though. This quote from the article especially struck a nerve: “And where is all that pasture to begin with, given that Japan is so short of land?” Oh, I see. The problem is…
