Breaking Video Update
I’m really curious as to what happened afterward… UPDATE: Oh. Duh. Maybe the 100mph bicycle should have tipped me off.

Teachers in Thailand under fire
The radical Islamicist problem in southern Thailand is so bad that the authorities are continuing to arm and train school teachers. “More than 1,700 people have been killed across Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat — the only Muslim-majority provinces in this otherwise peaceful, tourist-friendly Buddhist country. Among them was a teacher gunned down at his blackboard in July as his 4th graders watched in shock, and a Buddhist art teacher clubbed by a village mob in May until her skull shattered. Teachers may be targets, officials say, because they are symbols of the central government’s authority, or be taken hostage to be traded for captured insurgents, or because the militants want…

The case against Korean Air
They are retarded: Korean Air bans in-flight use of Dell, Apple laptop computers over battery problem Never mind that only certain models were affected, or that many people have already traded in their recalled batteries… That’s a deciding factor when buying tickets, bitches! (and not only because most of your seats don’t have an in-seat power supply system) Tasty in-flight bibimbap aside, KAL is now dead to me. …………… In other news today, Korean Air (NASDAQ: KAL) is buying out a major Korean notebook PC manufacturer…

Dreamhost Promo Code: COSMIC
UPDATE 12/2007: DREAMHOST HAS CHANGED THEIR PROMOTION SYSTEM. THE MAX YOU CAN GET DISCOUNTED NOW IS $50. SEE COMMENTS BELOW FOR DETAILS. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I set up a Dreamhost promotion code today for a friend and I’d like to share it here because the code I used to sign up is apparently no longer active, and I know what a leap of faith it requires to use codes that are old or from a commercial website. Basically, the way Dreamhost referrals work is that you can get one-time payments of $97 or recurring payments of 10% for every person you refer… And you can pass as little or as much of…

Props to Wikipedia
There comes a time to take a stand and tell people to fuck off: Wikipedia defies China’s censors The fact of the matter is that Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft are either pussies or sellouts (or most likely, both!) with regard to China, and anyone trying to make it sound like they had no choice is obscuring the issue – there was a definite choice. It was between increased profits or morals, and those companies have made it clear which they place more value on. Well, fuck them – they have made their own beds. Bravo, Wikipedia!

Onegai
Weather gods, please keep this aberration away from me. Unlucky typhoon number 13. Typhoon SHANSHAN – even your name is wack. No way you are ruining my sea kayak trip this weekend. That is all.

ore ore sagification
Oh, Tamade. To think we gave up the thrill of your streets for this retirement commune on Awaji… Every Osaka lover owes it to him/herself to go visit the police stations around Nishinari/Sumiyoshi. I shit you not, the buildings are barricaded against attack from the outside. The area around the Sumiyoshi police station, especially, is what I imagine Japan looked like right after the war, complete with streets filled with mangy dogs, scary vagrants, and rusty piles of junk. OK, maybe the strays are a bit inauthentic (read: “four-legged protein source,” if they had even lasted that long, or even existed in the first place for that matter) for post-war…

Does Luc Besson read my blog? A year ago: Luc Besson is a fucking sellout Today: Luc Besson says he’s finished with filmmaking Wow, that worked out pretty well!
