Speaking of carp…

Over at the Fish & Fly site: Thai guide in record carp catch
There’s a lot of haters saying it doesn’t mean much since it was caught in a stocked lake, which is kind of a valid criticism – it would be more impressive if it had been caught in the wild. The thing is, they might not get that big out in the wild… All I know is, that has to be one nasty-tasting fish.

My net connection at home has been hosed for a few days and the wireless at my uni is flaky at best (this post was enabled by the power of prayer).

Fish, which is my favorite dish

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a hand for the undisputed king of Japanese fish sausage!
This was pointed out to me in an email about that post, by the way. I’m not that insecure about my gyoniku. And the comments section there is pretty much a hub for fish sausage otakus now… Join in the fun!

Gmail Beta Status

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Gmail – but just how long is it going to be in beta? Google Docs and Calendar I can understand still being in beta, but Gmail? I mean, the shit pretty much up and conquered all the free alternatives and most of the paid ones, too. Although the invitation system is still in place, anyone in the world can freely sign up for an account now, so… Why does Google still label it a beta?
Maybe there’s a secret teledildonics function they want to unveil before going one point oh…

Escaping the Bangkok Hilton

This is not the Hilton of which I speak, this is.
Richard Barrow has scored an exclusive interview with the author of Escape, “the true story of the only Westerner ever to break out of Thailand’s Bangkok Hilton, aka.Klong Prem Prison.” He’s currently posted the first part of the interview; I’m looking forward to the final part.
Note: I won’t buy the book, but I wouldn’t mind downloading it.
