Roberta Flack, “Feel Like Makin’ Love”
What was the #1 song on the charts the day you were born? Actually, the only reason I post this is that I feel extremely lucky to have dodged the Bee Gees… for the second time. A few years ago I went to one of the new mega-sized beer halls with outdoor stages in Bangkok, a day before the Bee Gees were to perform there – and was hence able to have a very fine time, thank you very much.

Knock-offs
I must say, the overall quality of knock-offs in Bangkok, or at least in the Patpong area, has dropped greatly in every area – bags, watches, clothes. There were a couple of decent items, as well as some nice “originals” (Prada greatcoats and Jaeger-styled IWC watches), but the rest of it was shit. We were all very unimpressed. The most recent knock-off shopping I’ve gone besides Thailand was in Korea, and the quality of the stuff there was world-class, with very hagglable prices.

Thailand Wedding Photos
The wedding photos are up on flickr (it’s nice to be able to finally use my pay account to its fullest)! Most of these were taken by my brother Adam (my sister Merin and I took a few as well). Warning: These photos have not been culled (except for some on-camera) or edited, and there are THOUSANDS of them. Thumbnails for ALL of the photos load on a single page, so it will take several minutes to load in entirety. Just hit the link and let the page load for a while, or dig right in and start a loooong slideshow. Morning Ceremony Photo Set Evening Reception Photo Set UPDATES:…

God Bless Skunk Works
Dear DARPA, Please build me one of these. Because it would look good in my room. Plus, you could hide a secret base in Gifu prefecture because they still have real cormorants there….

Ask a Mexican
This guy rocks. And I had no idea about his column… Been away too long. Since I’m classified as chino, I can now proudly boast the new t-shirt I picked up in Chatuchak market. (photo will be posted later)

Some of you are such fucking nerds, I swear! I love it! Seriously, though, thank you for all the kind notes… Nam is coming back from Thailand this Sunday, and we hope to see you all soon. (YT notes that she generated the image here)

The traffic is inside you, grasshopper
