When we were in China, one of the little things that drove me crazy was the sizes of the currency (the bills). They came in all sorts of sizes and keeping them sorted and in a nice stack was difficult. I couldn’t understand why they would make them all different sizes. I guess if you [...]
A jeep races a snowmobile across a lake. Absolutely awesome in a hilarious way.
And best of luck to Richard.
One of the things my girlfriend does a fantastic job of is keeping in touch. At some point I made a note of that. A lot of good that does me. What’s the point of learning, if you don’t apply the lesson?
I’m not sure why I don’t do a better job of keeping in [...]

A while back I had thought about setting it up so I could post random pictures from my phone. I didn’t get too far, but last night I thought, “Flickr probably does this already (or has some way for me to easily integrate it).”

Why hasn’t mine shipped yet? Why [...]
… I think I can blame some of it on Syriana. Man, I want my money back. As a liberal, I might be able to enjoy the “oil companies control the world” conspiracy, but the movie totally didn’t do it for me. The trailer completely misrepresented the movie. All the dramatic lines and explosions in [...]
… for whatever reason. I’m not saying that they’re all bad, nor am I saying that they’re all good either.
The Evolution of Useful Things
Small Things Considered - interesting books by the same author. I bought them both at the same time. Unfortunately a touch boring after a long day of work.

I really don’t like Panda Express that much. It just happens to be the closest, most convenient Chinese-like restaurant near work. I trade off quality for convenience.
What scares me is hearing people talk about how great Panda Express is while I’m sitting there having lunch. Some tell me because I’m Chinese, wearing a red (red) [...]
