Video chat
Some people have recently asked why I don’t use a webcam and enable video messenging. Some possible replies: – Do you really want to see me picking my nose and flipping off the screen that badly? – I’m not that vain – I’m a leper – It feels too much like work (we have videoconferences all the time) – It would impede my “walk around the house naked” lifestyle – It makes me feel powerful to be able to watch you when you can’t watch me – What is this, 1998?

Mexican Food in Bangkok

And the screen version of Where the the Wild Things Are directed by Spike Lee Jonze will probably prove this beyond a doubt (if it’s an exception to the rule, however, excellent!). – Hollywood is poison to successful Hong Kong talent. Case in point #1: Chow Yun Fat, #2 John Woo, #3 Michelle Yeoh (also read: The law of diminishing returns) – Amazingly, Japanese TV manages to suck even harder than American TV – Even more amazingly, Japanese MTV sucks even harder than American MTV (see also: Japanese rappers, J-Pop) – The only thing more annoying…

Canon 30D
Someone sent this to me with the caption, “CANON 30D.” It is immediately apparent that I was wrong in recommending a Nikon to my little brother last week. Maybe they’ll still let you trade it in, Adam.
