I was browsing teh intarwebs and stumbled upon this pic: …and all I could think of was a photo we took a few years ago on the beach in Sumoto: I say “we” because I don’t remember who was using Kana’s point-and-shoot (EXIF says it was a Casio EX-Z500) for this jump series; it was probably me or Kana or Faye. It took me a while to find the photo because I couldn’t spot it in my archives, so I ended up logging into Flickr for the first time in two years (A long story in itself. Basically, the Yahoo login system is fuxxored.) and looking for it among the…

Stevie on Sunday
…because it’s our day to chill and listen to YouTube music. Max got to see twenty vids, now it’s my turn for one. Actually, there is a version with an actual music video here, but the audio sucks. /// It’s funny, I played this song a few months back when we were setting up a PA, and my coworker Bruce suddenly stood up and announced he hadn’t “heard this since it came out!”

Blue kapom (Calotes versicolor) (correction: Calotes mystaceus)
It took me three years to find one of the blue ones after I heard about them (and possibly ate them as well). This lizard is known in standard Thai as ginka and in Isan dialect as kapom. It has many names in English, including Oriental Garden Lizard, Eastern Garden Lizard, Changeable Lizard, Bloodsucker Lizard, Crested Tree Lizard, Garden Fence Lizard. They are Agamids, from the family Agamidae, commonly called dragons or dragon lizards. Here’s an informative passage from this page: Changeable Lizards are related to iguanas (which are found only in the New World). Unlike other lizards, they do not drop their tails (autotomy), and their tails can be…

close call
On my way to pick up Max from school today, I almost killed a female university student who evaded a police checkpoint by speeding straight at me from the opposite direction. I stomped on the brakes as she almost went down sideways, but then her half-raised kickstand caught on the asphalt and inertia righted her scooter as if by magic. She rode off with a bovine smile on her face, perhaps oblivious to how close she had come to dying. The ironic thing is that the cops were trying to stop her for not wearing a helmet. ///////////////// It’s funny, right before the slow motion adrenaline effect kicked in, the…

Google Chat vs. Skype
Recently, Google Chat is consistently better in terms of voice and video; this was not the case a year ago. I wonder if switching to a dedicated Jabber client would yield even better results, and might enjoy having Google Chat and Facebook Chat accessible from a single dedicated app, but at the same time I’m really enjoying the simplicity of the Google Chat setup.
