YouTube has just made more detailed video stats available to all users of the service. Now any YouTube user can see where their viewers are and how popular their videos are in a particular geographic region. It was pretty cool to see that my most popular anime music video has been seen in 31 countries […]
Quantum physics tells us that the very act of observing perturbs the system and affects the outcome of the experiment. On the macroscopic scale of real life we this effect is negligible, and it is probably a good thing that my every thought does not become a command for the larger universe. Yesterday while browsing […]
Edison Chen just went up a notch, his now infamous laptop is in fact a customised pink Macbook! Hey! It’s alright for a guy to like pink. My DS lite is coral pink, and some of my favorite shirts are pink. Pink looks good against my skin, so it’s nice to wear. So kudos to […]
I ran across this Yuri Ebihara ad for Sega while doing some research for my Ebihara Shinji-kun AMV. I thought about putting it on my PSPStuffnJunk site, but I think I’ll just put it here for now. Kawaii des! Why don’t we ever get cute game ads like this in the US?
I’m watching the pre-race show for the Daytona 500 and just saw not one but two ads for some law firm by none other than William Shatner! Why Bill, oh whhhhyyyyyy?!!!!
Sadly, campus violence is becoming so common now that when I initially heard about the shootings at NIU yesterday, I figured that the shooter would fit the usual profile. He’d be some quiet, withdrawn person who was probably off his meds…blah blah blah… Now it appears that Steven Kazmierczak was anything but that. While the […]
I guess it was inevitable, but Polaroid film and instant cameras are going away! I haven’t used mine in many years, but I still fondly remember the fun of taking those photos that maybe you didn’t want the pimply faced photo guy to see before you picked them up! Perhaps Edison Chen wouldn’t be in […]
As the war continues between Anonymous and the Church of Scientology, one can only think that the turnout of hundreds of masked anonymous protesters at CoS locations around the world, caused some serious bricks to be shat. The DoS attacks against CoS web sites are interesting, but nothing new. This sort of thing goes on […]
As millions prepare to watch the Super Bowl on TV today, what am I doing? I’m just being amazed and inspired by the artistic creativity of my youngest daughter. Here is the cover she made for a school report on Topeka Kansas. I love the composition, color, and the energy in her work! And now, […]
It looks like the funding crisis for the Chicago Transit Authority may be coming to an end, for now at least. But through it all, my oldest son, who uses the CTA to get to school, has remained a staunch, almost fanatic CTA enthusiast. It boggles the mind, but he has memorized the automated voice […]
My youngest son is very rules oriented. I learned yesterday that he has labeled our two bathrooms, “Number 1″, and “Number 2″. He does number 1 in Number 1 and number 2 in Number 2!^_^
I guess the best antidote to life is to just live it out. I got a few hours of having the house to myself during which time I got to reprise my yearly role of Santa Claus, wrapping and delivering presents to the tree. This was followed by some very therapeutic house cleaning and the […]
It’s midterm report time again, and again it’s a period of dread and depression here. Most would say that 3 out of 4 good reports would be a good thing. But in this age of standardized testing, ridiculously intense competition, and Ritalin, anything less than perfect overshadows anything good that comes. And so it is […]
Thanksgiving was pretty good, spent with family and a few good friends over. Ken always brings good beers, and to this list I add Hoegaarden. I liked this beer, it had a light and slightly sweet taste. But I couldn’t help but notice the name, which to this English speaker, looks like “ho garden”. It […]
I had originally intended to bitch about my wife some more, but found something much better in Eating French (or Why French Women Don’t Get Fat).
“If we want to lose weight, we need to make a choice to enjoy life more,” said Hauben.
Rather than bitching about the wife, I’m going to redouble my efforts to […]
