Shoukichi Kina and Ry Cooder at Todaiji
Thanks to corporate greed, the album this was released on, Blood Line, hasn’t been available for decades. It is largely unknown. I want to make it available again, because it’s worth it.

An Oasis of Serious in the Land of Smiles
There was a huge meeting for the UDD today at the main hall of our university. A pal suggested we check it out, and we did just before lunch. We made it inside the auditorium and back out again just fine, but it felt like walking through the wrong part of town, you know? People were STARING at us big time. Felt like John McClane walking through Harlem or something.

Max’s Painting – Horse
Max draws and/or paints every day. He could draw better than me at age 2, which is not saying much, but still… he must have his mother’s drawing skills. This horse really tickles me.

One Tablet PC Per Child Tablet PC aka “iPad10”
I got to test out a number of Tablet PCs at one of the education projects I’m helping out. My opinion is that they are complete crap and even worse than I expected at the 81 USD price mark, for several reasons: Of 6 units I tested, 2 were obviously defective (one would not charge past 12% and one constantly emitted a high-pitch squeal) Overall build quality is poor Devices show deep scratches, bubbles under the protective film, and other physical damage as delivered Most of the cases I saw (I only checked a dozen or so out of 40 units delivered) were black or white, with some hot pink…

Merry-go-round
These were probably taken at Gilroy Gardens, but it’s hard to say since we rode so many carousels on our trip home. It’s definitely not the Santa Ana zoo, either of the South Coast Plaza ones, or the one that used to be at Balboa Island, since the new owners are apparently complete dumbasses who forced the 80-year-old attraction away from the iconic Fun Zone. Such is progress when shitbirds call the shots.

Over the hump
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Mommy will be back soon. Trying something new today: Mina went to stay with Nam’s family, and Max is with daddy. They’ve never been split apart like this and I was curious to see how they would cope. So far, it’s just not been an issue for Max; we’ve had a blast eating yogurt, playing with legos and drawing pictures. No call from the in-laws means Mina is probably fine, too. Who could have guessed?
