Vegetarians have it hard in Thailand

…and here’s the proof.

Fix your Facebook feed

If it seems some of your friends recently stopped posting on Facebook, it might be due to a recent Facebook “upgrade.” Here’s the fix:

Go to FB Home Page
Choose “Live Feed.”
Scroll to the bottom & click ” Edit Options.”
You will then see your “News Feed Settings.” Change the 250 to 5000, which is Facebook’s friend limit, and your feed will work correctly again.

Rush editing job nearly finished

We took Mr. Max out to a friend’s birthday party at a nearby restaurant/fishing park (we ate but did not fish), but he got weepy so we came back, took showers, and for daddy it’s back to the grind now.

I hate when I accidentally hit the Insert key when editing in Word.
That is all.

Karma, illustrated

Cosmic Buddha was born in a Mahayana country…
But now lives in a Theravada one.
The differences between the two are apparent in the way they affect the curry: Curries in Mahayana countries are more refined, and curries in Theravada countries have deeper flavor; all are delicious.
Of course, karma can crush you regardless of the flavor you choose.

On his throne, on his throne…

The World Housing Market – 50,000,000 Yen Edition

Here is an amusing photo series depicting the kind of houses you can buy around the world for fifty million yen (which is a whopping 547,106 USD at today’s rate – endaka is such a fickle bitch!): 5000???????????
The locations represented, in order, are:

Thai
Bali
Chicago
Costa Rica
Brazil
Spain
Tokyo

The problem, of course, is that land value skews the representations far too much. For instance, if you paid half a mil for the Thai house in anywhere but a few select locations, you paid 3 or 4 times more than you should have. Also, Brazil and Indonesia sure have similar architecture and beaches… Still, it’s a pretty funny idea until you over-analyze it!

That is all.

Web

Serving 100,000,000,000 videos a year – for free!?!

Over at WIRED: YouTube’s Bandwidth Bill Is Zero. Welcome to the New Net
What does this mean? It basically means that YouTube as we know and love it wouldn’t have been a sustainable business for anybody except Google. Cool.

Surveying Khao Yai National Park, Thailand

Last week, while tripping balls on cold medicine and mourning the loss of our pink chicken, I mentioned going on a scouting trip for our upcoming International Camp. Here are some photos which are neither international nor even educational, but I like them anyway. If you’re lucky I may even throw in the odd caption.

Khao Yai National Park. Entrance fees for Thais: 20 Baht. For foreigners: 200 Baht. Yet somehow, I got in for the Thai rate (because my coworkers told me to shut up so I could pass as Thai. Thanks, girls!)

The dormitories we were supposed to stay at, but will no longer be able to because our financial dept. didn’t make the transfer on time…

This totally reminds me of Full Metal Jacket.. PRIVATE PYLE WHERE R U!!

Can we infer that there’s a 500 Baht penalty for leaving food outside the Room?

Snail shoe rack? I forgot to ask what’s written in Thai.. but maybe it’s better kept as a mystery.
