    Adam got Farked

    March 27, 2007 /

    One of Adam’s old posts on Oita Aquarium (link) got farked over the weekend (it’s on the front page of the Tech section right now). It seems to have been picked up on a few other blogs as well, which is why I noticed it. Congrats, dude!

You know, the kind…

    March 25, 2007 /

    We came across a roadside vendor selling cowboy hats at the end of last year, and this one just stood out. In related news, I found a hidden horse ranch on the dirt road behind our house. Now all I need is a good set of spurs! ||||||||||||||||||| UPDATE (transcribed from Google Talk session with Adam): me: oh wait i just realized something it’s not a duck is it Adam: no chicken me: oops always thought it was a rubber ducky Adam: nah, dude, its like a chicken in a biscuit me: godammit oh well the name stays this is nam’s ducky hat godammit Adam: cool
