Running chkdsk in read only mode (without the /f handle) is a big waste of time. I didn’t really know that until today. I pulled a 250Gb SATA drive out of my dead PC and was using it in an external box via USB – this ended in corrupted directories for some reason. Now chkdsk is fixing my main torrent drive.

Max & Nam at MSU Nihongakusai
Another shot from the Japanese festival Nam’s department put on at Mahasarakham University a couple weeks back. Max needs to grow into his clothes a bit (thx Uncle D and Auntie M!)
Mahoroba is Japanese Arcadia
Max was overtired and sleep-deprived today, so he just threw a big fit on and off for a couple hours. It was impossible to get any work done, but I still love him with all my heart.

Sometimes, though, I stay in the bathroom longer than I need to… And I’m not even reading. The ceiling fan turns and water from the shower drips with a steady rhythm… I’m hesitant to leave my sphere of tranquility. It seems that Thailand is my new Yamato and my bathroom is the precise location of Mahoroba.

See? I’m not the only one hesitant to emerge from my hiding place:
Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street – Superstition
Best song ever?
Sunset from our stoop
Sometimes the sky here is so pretty it can make you cry. Even Max loved this sunset.
We’re Baaaaack
…and looking off to the side, but hey, that’s what happens when I give somebody else the camera, right?
Google Chrome Easter Eggs
Well, just one Easter egg, actually, but other related pages. For the Easter Egg, just type about:internets in the address bar of Chrome and hit Enter. (BTW does anyone else remember when this was just the coolest screensaver around and how hard it taxed even those Pentium Pro systems?)
Other about pages:
- about:memory
- about:stats
- about:network
- about:internets
- about:histograms
- about:dns
- about:cache
- about:crash
- about:plugins
- about:version

This is a pretty cool PS tip: Improve your photography with classical art
Non-blinking Woman
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Why Max’s Face Isn’t Here
All of his photos are on the HD of my dead PC. I haven’t finished building its replacement from old parts yet. Please stay tuned.

The Box
This somehow sounds like it will be pretty boring if everything goes according to plan.
“The Box is an ambitious and unique year-long project for BBC News to tell the story of international trade and globalisation by tracking a standard shipping container around the world.“

Hisashiburi ni McSweeney’s
I got stuck editing a thesis this weekend when all I wanted to do was play with the baby and chill out, so this struck a note: Footnotes, Endnotes, and Parentheticals That Cost Me Marks on My Thesis
Morisawa Font Park
Very flash-artsy, very cool: Go play with Japanese fonts.

Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say “YES”!
There may yet be a Ghostbusters 3.
Google Chrome Plug-in Crash
This is what happens when the Flash plug-in crashes in Chrome:
I like it so much I think I’ll start using it as my avatar for everything.
