Wordtank Comparison Link
A couple people have asked for Wordtank buying advice the past couple months. Here’s a handy link I just stumbled upon: Compare Canon Wordtank Models I’m thinking of picking up this one before I go to Thailand. There are certain instances when I’d take a Wordtank instead of a laptop, especially in situations when I didn’t have a net connection. Sounds like those situations will increase in frequency in Thailand, since I basically have a broadband implant here in J-land.

Guy Gabaldon
This post over at f*ckedgaijin reminded me that I hadn’t posted about Guy Gabaldon yet. You really should read that last link, some of his exploits were seriously amazing. My mom sent an e-mail informing us of his passing which I quote below: “Sometimes, life is seemingly unfair and we don’t get what we want. Guy did not get his medal of honor while alive, however we shall see what happens in the near future. I called his family in Florida today and Aiko, his daughter, said that Guy will be cremated and half of his ashes interred in Saipan and the other in Arlington National Cemetary. They asked if…

A deaf man with no eyes was arrested for driving in Smethwick, England. His defense is quoted as stating, “the question is not whether his driving was dangerous, but whether being blind makes it dangerous.” Sure it is.

Dogtards
Oh, my shaka. “PuppyPurse makes it easier to take your dog with you, whether you’re shopping, fly fishing or just taking a walk and nothing gets in the way of snuggling and kissing your baby whenever you want to” The only question is, can you get one that holds seven puppies? (also see here and here) According to the official website, this product seems to appeal mostly to snobby rich blondes. And how do the dogs feel about it? Just shoot me, already.
