    Return delayed?

    Mina has broken out in red dots all over her face and back… Roseola? Fifth disease? Measles? Going back on the 27th does not look good – there’s no way they’ll let her through looking like this. More later. ———– Who knows how this will turn out. Sometimes you just have to relinquish control and let things be how they be. You know, just let it flow. Like this:

    I used to be an apple weenie, but then I decided to live in the third world, and as we all know, apple doesn’t care about poor people. So it’s been a revelation visiting home and using my sister’s iPhone for a week when she was on a cruise, and to a lesser extent, my mom’s MacBook to aggregate photos and video from several different sources. The iPhone was pretty cool and three killer apps for me were Google Maps (although I tried the Android version on my cousin’s phone and it was even better), Gmail, and a Mafia Wars-type world war game that I got addicted to in a…

    Talking to my dad’s older sister today, I learned something very important. My father has the only western name (as opposed to Japanese) among all his siblings because his oldest sister named him after a popular actor at the time, Dave O’Brien (real name David Poole Fronabarger). The other thing of great importance is that Dave O’Brien had a memorable role in Reefer Madness. That is all.

    A quick note about the Garmin nĂ¼vi 1450t

    May 13, 2010 /

    I bought one today for navigating around my home country… Took it home from Walmart and thought it was broken because it wouldn’t sync with the satellites. Eventually decided to look it up online and one Amazon reviewer said that it took quite a while to acquire a satellite signal upon first use – so I took it outside, restarted, and let it sit on a plastic table for a while. Almost ten minutes later, it was good to go. It’s funny, though, if I hadn’t read this review on Amazon, I would have thought it was defective for sure.
