We took Mr. Max out to a friend’s birthday party at a nearby restaurant/fishing park (we ate but did not fish), but he got weepy so we came back, took showers, and for daddy it’s back to the grind now.

Karma, illustrated
Cosmic Buddha was born in a Mahayana country…
But now lives in a Theravada one.
The differences between the two are apparent in the way they affect the curry: Curries in Mahayana countries are more refined, and curries in Theravada countries have deeper flavor; all are delicious.
Of course, karma can crush you regardless of the flavor you choose.

The World Housing Market – 50,000,000 Yen Edition
Here is an amusing photo series depicting the kind of houses you can buy around the world for fifty million yen (which is a whopping 547,106 USD at today’s rate – endaka is such a fickle bitch!): 5000???????????
The locations represented, in order, are:
- Thai
- Bali
- Chicago
- Costa Rica
- Brazil
- Spain
- Tokyo
The problem, of course, is that land value skews the representations far too much. For instance, if you paid half a mil for the Thai house in anywhere but a few select locations, you paid 3 or 4 times more than you should have. Also, Brazil and Indonesia sure have similar architecture and beaches… Still, it’s a pretty funny idea until you over-analyze it!

That is all.

Over at WIRED: YouTube’s Bandwidth Bill Is Zero. Welcome to the New Net
What does this mean? It basically means that YouTube as we know and love it wouldn’t have been a sustainable business for anybody except Google. Cool.
Surveying Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
Last week, while tripping balls on cold medicine and mourning the loss of our pink chicken, I mentioned going on a scouting trip for our upcoming International Camp. Here are some photos which are neither international nor even educational, but I like them anyway. If you’re lucky I may even throw in the odd caption.
Khao Yai National Park. Entrance fees for Thais: 20 Baht. For foreigners: 200 Baht. Yet somehow, I got in for the Thai rate (because my coworkers told me to shut up so I could pass as Thai. Thanks, girls!)
The dormitories we were supposed to stay at, but will no longer be able to because our financial dept. didn’t make the transfer on time…
This totally reminds me of Full Metal Jacket.. PRIVATE PYLE WHERE R U!!
Can we infer that there’s a 500 Baht penalty for leaving food outside the Room?
Snail shoe rack? I forgot to ask what’s written in Thai.. but maybe it’s better kept as a mystery.
That last video I posted is so good…
If you haven’t watched it yet, do it now! DO IT TODAY! DO IT FOR MOTHER EARTH!!
Yes, I am staying up too late doing a proofreading job.
Moronic running compilation (??????)
Best video, ever!

Neko funjatta – worst Japanese toy ever
I wish I knew who took this photo because I’d ask him to buy me one – that’s right, this is the original “run over kitty cat” toy from Japan.

It is very possible that no game will ever captivate me like the original Counter-Strike.
