This is what I felt like doing, all week
If I weren’t such a well-tempered and patient individual, I’d have maimed several people this week.

Once upon a time, a DJ’s task…
I got so absorbed in this, it took me a few seconds to realize that Max was repeatedly kicking me in the groin to get my attention: http://wheelsofsteel.net/

Spraying insecticide, again
When I ventured out this morning to buy the kid’s breakfast, sticky rice and barbecued pork skewers (which have gone up in price universally to 5 baht per skewer — they were still 3 baht at some places up until a couple months ago), I drove though a fog hovering in the neighborhood behind ours. Even with the windows closed, I got a whiff of Raid and realized they were fumigating the area again. I hurriedly went to buy the food — in an yet unsprayed area — and rushed back home. Nam said she’d just heard a pickup driving around blasting a message from the local government, so that meant they…

iPad 2 Camera vs. Kodak DC120 (2011 Apple tech vs. 1997 SOA tech)
The Kodak DC120 was the first megapixel camera I owned. I got it back in 1998 or so and maybe sprung for an enormous 4Mb compact flash card as well, to add to the industry-leading 2Mb internal memory in the camera (enough to store 2 whole photos in RAW mode, but they didn’t call it RAW yet, it was simply described as uncompressed).

Apple iPad 2 Camera Review
In a thousand words: The small size of this thumbnail hides the poor quality of the image at its true resolution. You can click the image above to see that, too, but just in case you’re too lazy: I was actually going to post a comparison photo from my HTC Desire HD, but I didn’t realize that the whole world already knows about this issue. The sad thing is, this is the higher spec camera of the two on the iPad2. And the best response I saw from a fanboy on an Apple forum said something about this device not being made for taking photos. It has two cameras that…

The way it is
Everybody has a talent. It may be obscure, it may be something you’re sure nobody else can understand… but you should definitely take advantage of it. One of my talents is meeting random people who change my life at the damndest times. It happened again today. We just finished having beers.

Koh Samet Photos
A self-explanatory photo set because I have no time, only children.
