Wedding Slideshow Tunes
Nam left for Thailand today, mostly to get things in line for the wedding. I hate coming home to a cold, empty house, so I’ve put myself to work choosing music for slideshows/videos to be shown during the wedding. I went upstairs and dug out most of my CDs and am now sorting through them – it’s been years since I’ve been through some of these binders and cartons. It’s fun, though. I’m sure it will turn out really well, too. I’m in perfectionist mode, so this might take a while.

Speaking of del.icio.us…
What’s up with this error message I’ve been getting all day? “del.icio.us is down for maintenance. we’ll be back in one hour.” One hour? Why so specific? Especially if it’s obviously not true? Maybe I’m being tough on them, but this has never happened before. I just remembered why I’m so irritated at Yahoo… It was that whole turning over private information that led to one of their users in China being jailed thing. They can try and justify that by saying that’s the price of doing business, but that makes them no less responsible or morally lacking. Hmm… Back to Furl?

hootyl.icio.us
How much did Yahoo pay for your del.icio.us bookmarks? Here is a good answer, if not a very specific one: LINK Yahoo now owns both my photo archiving account (flickr) and bookmarking (del.icio.us) account. Google owns my main webmail account (gmail). In the future, companies will buy and trade your everything. Maybe that’s just evolution… For now though, I have a fuzzy ball of lint in my pocket that I rub when I’m nervous or stressed out, and it’s ALL FUCKING MINE, BABY!

Gyoza and Beer
It occurs to me that I haven’t gone on a manly-man food binge for a while. Manly-man food. You know, the kind you eat straight from the pan. The kind that smears on your shirt cuz you can’t be bothered to use a napkin. The kind that makes for good belching sessions, preferably in direct competition with other manly-men. The epitome of a manly-man meal in Japan is two orders of gyoza and a draft beer at Osho. Osho is a nationwide chain of Chinese-ish greasy spoons, famous for their gyoza. In all truth, their food is strictly average at best, but their gyoza might rate a 7.5/10 stars at…

The Downside of Warm Biz
It’s fucking cold in here. (read about Warm Biz here) And to the asshole who claims that “there’s no minus-element” – my pregnant coworker, who is shivering even in 6 layers of clothes, wishes you a warm gangraping with slimy alien tentacles! Please take the predicted 0.03% increase of the annual gross domestic product and stick it up your ass, to keep your head company! Brrrrrr..
