  • Baby Update – There’s something moving in there!

    I first felt the baby moving a few weeks ago. Nam first felt it a month or two ago; it’s apparently hard for a first-time mother to tell movements of the fetus apart from digestive and other normal movements. Now, though, there is no mistaking it; he wakes his mom sometimes by moving around so much.

    • Sometimes if you tap or pat lightly, he taps back from the inside.
    • He grooves to a good beat and seems pretty chill when something soft is on.
    • Sometimes when I sing him a song, he pounds the walls for an encore. (So far one little, two little, three little Indians is his favorite even though I tell him the PC version should be counting Native Americans. He replied “I likes me a good curry.” What the hell does that mean? How the hell does he know a good curry from a bad one?)
    • His favorite TV show so far is The Shield, he likes to watch Vick Mackie kick ass.
    • He pretty much hates that Baby Einstein stuff – dancing dolls and teddy bears are for girls, he says.

  • “Sorry, about baseball”


    Put very simply, this video exudes everything that’s good about Japan (in the original Japanese, that is; quite a bit is lost in translation, but it probably still delivers the same end effect.)
    Can ASCII art and a Studio Ghibli soundtrack make you cry?

  • David Palmer for President

    It’s been so long since I’ve posted about 24 (and after seeing last season’s wussification of Jack, perhaps that’s a good thing), but I knew the silence had to be broken when Sammy sent this link: DENNIS HAYSBERT – ‘PRESIDENT’ HAYSBERT: ‘I’VE PAVED THE WAY FOR OBAMA’

    “The actor thinks his role in the hit television drama gave Americans a taste of what the country might be like if a black man was in charge – and they liked what they saw.”

    You know, you really can’t make stuff like this up. If Jack Bauer’s popularity actually sways the political course of our nation – I’m almost happy, by comparison, to live in the land of eternal coup.

    He landed on my pants leg, and started the long walk into the light. However, I don’t like organisms I don’t know by name dying on me, so I brushed him off and he flew off weakly, eventually landing on the ground.

  • Cult of Paradox

    I don’t get it, can someone explain how buying/using Apple products, especially iPods or iTunes, is not supporting DRM?
    Because I can understand wanting cool gear, and I can even understand sacrificing your morals for cool gear… But let’s be honest about it, yeah?
    Fuck DRM, fuck non-replaceable batteries, fuck a one-button mouse. Period.
