  • Crown build progress

             

  • Line Sketch Filter

    Taken during a meeting a couple weeks ago on my HTC Desire HD with Camera 360. I’m really happy with this phone.

  • Gecko Peter Parker

    Last night, I was driving alone down the highway into a headwind and a small gecko suddenly appeared on the outside of the windshield, probably blown up through the bodywork from wherever he was chilling down below. Geckos are good to have in your car because they eat bugs and are just cool to watch,…

  • Spraying insecticide, again

    When I ventured out this morning to buy the kid’s breakfast, sticky rice and barbecued pork skewers (which have gone up in price universally to 5 baht per skewer — they were still 3 baht at some places up until a couple months ago), I drove though a fog hovering in the neighborhood behind ours. Even with…

  • What’s going on (May 2011 edition)

    So we went to Koh Samet for a few days with a bunch of my coworkers and some of their families. It was awesome, but I feel the need to write about what’s been happening around here before moving onto editing the trip photos and video. Max and Mina started school on May 18. Max…

  • Pool days

  • Spicy Maple Links of Destruction 2/11/11

    Offered mostly without comment because I’m still chewing on them: The last Japanese man remaining in Kazakhstan A Kafkian tale of the plight of a Japanese POW in the Soviet Union An Evening with J. D. Salinger Of course he’s crazy, that’s why his best works ring so true. Educating B Students My question is:…

  • Family Trip to Central Khon Kaen

    Mina scratched up her nose from falling, so we bought her a hand knit hat* that doubles as a helmet. It’s the only hat she has ever tolerated wearing. Max likes taking photos with mommy. ///// * Max and Mina got matching Lilo & Stitch hats sold by a nice stall vendor. 360 Baht for…

  • Gymkhana at L’Autodrome

    With over 16 million views, I’m obviously one of the last car nuts to see this, but it’s admittedly awesome: The first rule of drifting is: DRIFTING KILLS (TIRES*) I was laughing at his shifter until I realized it was the side brake lever (he’s using paddle shifters). *VERY QUICKLY
