flickr group update
I let my flickr pro account lapse at the end of last year, and not just because they sold out to a bunch of greedy corporate zombies and made change my username, either. A lot of it had to do with the fact that my net connection, until this very week, was sad and pathetic (and reminiscent of analog modem days, but without the cool “screaming in tha ether” sounds). Anyhow, now that I have a proper connect and even got issued a credit card here in Thailand, maybe I’ll renew again (but nothing can make me retract the corporate zombie statement). I was just checking the jump photo group…

response in the dark
Sometimes getting a comment on a post I wrote long ago when I was insane really makes my day: Scalpulation The really puzzling thing is that since I broke my sidebar, there really is no way to get to that post except by stumbling onto it, or perhaps googling for that imaginary word that I made up in a fit of weirdness. That’s really cool. Almost as cool as applicosinox.

check yourself
I know, I know. An occasional link and/or hurried musing does not (contrary to the title on my banner) an interesting blog make, but it has suddenly become so hot in this region as to shut down all unnecessary thought and action as we scurry around looking for shade and a siesta. Anyhow. This here’s a handy site for when you think gmail/google/your website is down, but you’re not sure if it’s just your connection: downforeveryoneorjustme.com

Bugatti vs. Eurofighter
Sometimes Top Gear makes me feel kinda blessed to live in the age of burning hydrocarbons, ozone depletion, and Nitto header turbos.

Origin of Redneck Mansion Pic
You may have seen this online somewhere with the caption, “Redneck Mansion”: Which is funny because nobody believes it’s a redneck mansion and many belive it’s been photoshopped. According to Snopes, neither of these is true. Still funny, tho.

Last night a chili pepper saved my life
Me, the wife, the baby – we’ve all been extremely busy the whole time I haven’t been blogging. As I mentioned in a previous post, I had a gadzillion papers and tests to mark and final grades to issue, AND NOW IT’S ALL DONE!! In front of my office door, the tortured souls of those not determined enough to earn a passing grade moan and roil with much indignity. Oh wait, that’s not the sound of tortured souls, it’s just my fever hallucinations again! Yes, I have been sleeping a lot (when not busy) trying to recover from this nasty congestive head cold thing that I even got prescribed industrial-strength…

dog eating air
In my current feverish state, this dog looks like satan (but in a good way).

More Crown History
I got a mail out of the blue today from the previous previous owner of the Kujira Crown I bought last year: I owned the Crown before you bought it off Chris. Thought you might like to hear how I came (although it was in my wifes name ) to be the proud owner of that lovely old girl. In 2003 I was an in house English teacher at a semi-conductor factory in Pathum Thani. While waiting for the remainder of the class to arrive the boys were talking about cars. As we do!?P, one of the best guys in the class, asked me what sort of car I would…

grizzly boy
I don’t remember who sent this to me. I am currently feverish and severely congested. I feel like I’ve been eaten by a bear.
