To complement the amazing karate chop video I posted yesterday. I’m gonna have to check out this TV show (Braniac?).

Hiropro Gear Update
This is a quick update to my post from a few years ago, entitled, Stephenson as Prophet. A company called Dainese (apparently not Italian for “Die Chinese”) has developed a working prototype for an inflatable collar airbag system for motorcycles. You can see the video here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mo9Vlt5tGwY

Enter the Daver
So I come home from a much-needed vacation only to be confronted with one of the strangest internet sights I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen things that would make you cry): Cosmic Buddha’s resident drummer in a tinfoil hat holding a cat wearing the same, headlining an article over at Wired about – hold it – conspiracy theories! At the end of the article, the author, Noah Shachtman credits the photo to a forum called CR4, but I couldn’t find anything there. I think it’s up to Dave to find out the story behind his clone. ///////////////////////// UPDATE: It would seem that my google-fu is much stronger than yours. I…

MT Beckons
So it’s time to make up for the rest of this month, blogging-wise. Get ready for a stream of posts that have been building up. I still don’t have time to fix my sidebar, though. I’ll figure out where it disappeared soon.

Important Notice
It seems that Nam’s university needs us to go to Pattaya for some serious, important, pressing research on the quality of four star hotels in the area. And really, who are we to refuse such a noble assignment? Be back in a few… ///////////////////////////////////////// UPDATE 3/29/2008 The resort that the university paid for us to stay at actually wasn’t four star… Check out the fountain art and I’m sure you’ll agree that such wasteful third world tackiness can only be found at a full five star establishment: This being Pattaya, the beach was sub-par for Thailand but the breakfast buffet at the resort was among the very best I’ve ever…

good juju, bad juju, it’s all just plain old juju
Yes, sometime I will probably stop trying to write blues lyrics in the titles… but today is not the day to do so, because yesterday, I ran over a chameleon sunning himself on the highway. When chameleons are chilling, sometimes they do this curious push up routine where they puff out their chests and bob up and down (apparently, this is the best time to catch them – in order to eat them, of course – at least my Thai friends tell me so). I was on my way to work in the Crown, cruising along in fifth gear and enjoying engine noise, the wind in my hair, and the…

Banana Moth
I have no idea what the real name of this moth is, and have no time to pore over moth photos for an ID, either. I found it stuck to one of the banana trees we planted behind our house when I was watering this evening. It was about three inches from wingtip to wingtip. //////////// Related link: A lucky photo of the elusive Japanese Hummingbird Moth
