Duck Man

Chinese censors blocked search results including, “1989,” “anniversary,” and “big yellow duck.” This last one was in response to a viral photoshopped version of the iconic 1989 photograph “Tank Man.”…

    Mina burped directly in my ear today

    December 27, 2009 /

    …which I take as an extremely fortuitous sign. …and at last, I have time to blog again, all because of our Baby Bjorn carrier (thanks mom and dad!). I didn’t use it with Max for the first few months partly because he was so small (born 1 month early at 2,400 grams), but today I noticed that the label said it could be used for babies over 3.2 (?) kilos. Mina is 4.2 kilos as of yesterday (born at 3.5 and naturally dropped a bit of weight the first few days).

    The best movie review, ever

    December 20, 2009 /

    It says a lot that this review was ten times more interesting than the movie itself. I found that some of the links weren’t available through the “related videos” sidebar part way through, so I’m linking every part below: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 1/7 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 2/7 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 3/7 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 4/7 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 5/7 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 6/7 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Part 7/7

    Thai Inter Hospital Mahasarakham aka Thai International Hospital Maha Sarakham

    December 19, 2009 /

    Having now experienced a C-section at both hospitals in Mahasarakham, my wife and I spent today comparing them and we’ve come to a conclusion: The government hospital is better for childbirth, and in a couple years (when construction of the new children’s wing is supposed to be completed) will probably be on par with anything Khon Kaen can offer with the exception of Khon Kaen Ram (which is on a different level than other hospitals in the region in many aspects, because of much deeper pockets). Background: Our first baby, Max, was born a month early and as a breech baby, which necessitated a C-section (In Thailand, a Caesarean is…

    Props to Kris

    December 15, 2009 /

    This Hainan Chicken recipe vid that my cousin Kris made yielded a meal so good, we won’t eat it outside anymore (there are tons of these chicken rice vendors in Thailand, but I’ve never had one as good as we made a few nights ago). I tried making a couple different sauces and they both turned out really well. Thanks, Kris!

    Lucky 13 Left

    December 14, 2009 /

    After my initial curiosity was sated by the sheer WTF does this thing do factor of Google Wave, I didn’t really sign in and play around again until today. At that point, the Wave must have been amazed that someone was still around, because it chose to send me more invitations. I sent invites to everyone who asked for one last time, and I still have thirteen left. If you want a Google Wave invite, leave a comment here or send me an email (address in the blog banner above).
