Feed Me
It’s uncanny how humanlike their movements are… I swear I know a stoner dude that reacts just like that when he’s surprised.

Comments fixed
I just fixed the “Remember personal info?” function of the comments so it actually works now. For the record, the problem I had was fixed with the solution on this page. It happened when I upgraded, and I couldn’t figure it out until I had a couple spare hours to research it. So, have at it since you’re spared filling out the fields every time now! The fix also fixed a script error that was appearing on individual entries when viewed with Internet Explorer. I hadn’t used IE for so long that the error simply went unnoticed!

Just a quick note
I usually don’t post on this date, because it means enough to me to want to post on 9/11 related topics. The thing is, my voice is one of many who feel the same way – sadness, anger, regret, patriotism, etc. – and I feel many others express that a whole lot better than I could. However. Somebody is pissing me off, and today is the day to let it all go. To the wannabe domain squatter who is trying to sell me the cosmicbuddha.net domain: Spamming me ten times over the course of two weeks for any reason is lame enough, but asking if I want to buy the…

The Russo-Japanese War
We have a photo book on this war inherited from my grandfather somewhere back home. I used to browse through it a lot when I was little without ever understanding what it was about. The main thing that sticks out in my mind is that there were a lot of photos of Japanese soldiers on bicycles – it seemed that was the major mode of transportation at the time. “The Russo-Japanese War stands as one of the key events that ushered in the twentieth century. At the time it was widely understood to be a racial conflict and an epochal confrontation between East and West. In terms of the weaponry…

Rare Mono Shop
Here’s my nomination for Best New USB Peripheral, 2006: USB Atataka Surippa (warmed slippers) Other great products I found on that site: Vaccum tube Amplifier for iPod Spydisk SD/MMC Card Reader Morse Code Drive (which has nothing to do with morse code; it seems to be just a keypad enabled security system for USB drives) USB Ass-cooling cushion Foot pedal-type stealth switch (AKA “boss switch” used to quickly change from a game/pr0n/non work-related screen to a spreadsheet, etc. instantly)

Wordtank Comparison Link
A couple people have asked for Wordtank buying advice the past couple months. Here’s a handy link I just stumbled upon: Compare Canon Wordtank Models I’m thinking of picking up this one before I go to Thailand. There are certain instances when I’d take a Wordtank instead of a laptop, especially in situations when I didn’t have a net connection. Sounds like those situations will increase in frequency in Thailand, since I basically have a broadband implant here in J-land.

J’s East-West Theory of Fast Food
The disappointment of finding overcooked xx* noodles in a bowl of tasty broth is directly equal to that of an overcooked hamburger with full garnishes. *where xx = udon, ramen, soba, saimin, sen-yai, gui-teow, etc., etc., etc.

Long lost
Yeah, so yesterday I called up a great aunt who lives up in Sendai whose existence I only learned about recently, through correspondence with my mom. I was kind of apprehensive at first just cold calling someone and saying, “Hi! Me gaijin! Me from America! We related!,” but that’s exactly what I did and it turns out she’s a totally cool lady. 88 years old, but she doesn’t sound like it at all. In fact, I was kind of surprised when she told me that she’s too old to travel around much anymore. I told her it’s cool, because I want to go visit you with my parents in October,…
