White Pointers vs. Great Whites
Pretty much everybody interested in sharks has seen this photo by now: Here’s a video with interesting aerial photos of the sharks in this area (Cape Cod). If you live in Cali, you probably know that just the day before, a Great White attacked a kayak in Santa Cruz. What you might not know is that the following week, one of the most intense videos ever recorded of a shark was taken by a couple guys who, luckily, happened to have spear guns and a camera rolling in the open ocean: And soon after, some poor surfer in Perth was bitten in half and eaten by a 16-foot monster. ———-…

Oh my gac!
This majestic fruit is perhaps my favorite in the entire kingdom of Thailand: Not just because it’s reminiscent of a freshly-used morning star worthy of Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer, or even Double Hanuman. Not only because it’s rare in most of Thailand, and normally eaten while still pale yellow, making perfectly ripe bright red ones basically unavailable at nearby markets. And not just because it’s filled with by far the highest content of beta-carotene (vitamin A) of any known fruit or vegetable and up to 70 times the amount of lycopene found in tomatoes.

Source.) somebody at work gave me, and an unknown species of banana that were selling for 20 baht/bunch at a local market. The bananas were good but not exceptional, the katon got spoiled before I could eat it (I never seem to get sweet ones; people around here tend to eat it in a savory/spicy fruit salad), and I did what we do with all unknown melons* – tried a bit to see if it was a sweet variety.…

Shoukichi Kina and Ry Cooder at Todaiji
Thanks to corporate greed, the album this was released on, Blood Line, hasn’t been available for decades. It is largely unknown. I want to make it available again, because it’s worth it.

An Oasis of Serious in the Land of Smiles
There was a huge meeting for the UDD today at the main hall of our university. A pal suggested we check it out, and we did just before lunch. We made it inside the auditorium and back out again just fine, but it felt like walking through the wrong part of town, you know? People were STARING at us big time. Felt like John McClane walking through Harlem or something.
