Rewired
This is great news. One can only hope that Wired Japan will recover as well; they stopped updating their site at the end of March.

I suddenly realize that in my quest to post all of the Zatoichi jackets, I have been negligent: I left out #1! Bust a move, Katsu!

Gmail for Domains – Small Bug
As I mentioned previously, I have my j(at)cosmicbuddha.com address set to forward all mail to my cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com address. Spam sent to the first address is not forwarded; I am OK with this. However, I have noticed that messages sent from cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com to j(at)cosmicbuddha.com are not getting forwarded to cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com. I do not understand why, because emails sent from cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com to cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com do appear; emails sent from j(at)cosmicbuddha.com to cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com do appear; emails sent from third parties to j(at)cosmicbuddha.com are forwarded to cosmicbuddha(at)gmail.com. Is this because I’m fucking with the time-space continuum, or what? UPDATE: My Account status on the Dashboard (Gmail for Domains control panel) is still updating. Maybe that…

Gmail for Domains Update: Nerdical Delight!
So e-mail for our domains is now handled by Gmail; the switch was a simple matter of changing MX records and adding existing users of cosmicbuddha.com email to the Gmail for Domains web panel. The way I was using my cosmicbuddha.com e-mail before was simply to have it forwarded to my Gmail account, and archived on my webhost’s mail server. The way I will use it now is the same, except that my cosmicbuddha.com account is also hosted on the Gmail server. This should reduce some stress on my webhost’s mail server, which is theoretically a good thing since it should reduce their costs, if even by a minute/insignificat amount.…

Let’s get nerdical
I have applied for the Gmail beta for domains for cosmicbuddha.com. I hope it comes through. Gmail is the killer web app as far as I’m concerned. I recently switched hosting providers for this site and chose Dreamhost. The biggest complaint I have about them so far is that their webmail app, Squirrel Mail, is crippled for the sake of stability of all Dreamhost users, and as a consequence, does not support the languages my users need most besides English: Thai and Japanese. This is a deal breaker as far as using our cosmicbuddha.com e-mail goes, because in addition to POP and IMAP accounts, we really need the webmail option.…

Yucko the Clown
There are times when beating on a fucker like this with a baseball bat would just make my day. Why do we even tolerate clowns in modern society? They should be burned at the stake as far as I’m concerned, right along with mimes, jugglers, and human statues. Oh, and parents who hire clowns for their children’s birthday parties should be fucking shot, too.

New Banner – Tribute to BIG MAN
BIG MAN is one of the first landmarks you should memorize in Osaka, and I learned this the hard way ten years ago when somebody told me to meet them there later. I was all like, “what big man?” Everyone within a two kilometer radius spontaneously combusted in laughter at the country boy chawing on a rice stalk, with cow shit caked on his boots, driving his daddy’s tractor. So yeah, this is me giving props where they’re deserved.

Product Name of the Year – Deeppresso
The newest canned coffee offering from Georgia. Although the spelling reminds me more of Mississippi. I’m almost scared to try it without a solid network of friends and a handful of Paxil.
