Bored today? Watch this must-see video of a cat climbing into and out of a glass bottle. Cats: not just evil but crafty as well!
Japan photos: first set.
I’ve actually been back 3 weeks since my trip in Asia and I hadn’t yet uploaded the photos to my photo site… that’s mostly because the application I wrote to upload photos to it is broken these days (I changed web hosts and changed the structure of my site). I am currently rewriting it, but it takes time.
In the meantime I got an invite to Picasa Web — Google’s new alternative to Flickr — so I decided to go ahead and up load my photos there. I’m not putting them up all in one shot, but you can see the best of the photos I took there. The first installment consists of photos I took in Kyoto and Nara.

Today they’ll annex the doghouse; tomorrow, the world!
Hitler cats. A site featuring pictures of cats that look like Adolf Hitler. I guess they have web sites for everything these days.
Good news, everyone!
Futurama is coming back in 2008! This time it’s for real.
Makes sense to me.
Microsoft workers prefer… Google. Can you trust a salesman who won’t eat his own dog food?
It’s like asking a car salesman if you should buy that new coupe.
The dark and questionable world of computer malware research. When one thinks about it, does it really make any sense to completely trust information on malware that’s published solely by companies that know they can make a buck by selling you the cure to the problems they discover? Wouldn’t it make perfect business sense to make up “new vulnerabilities” out of thin air so they can scare more people into buying their wares?
‘Creativity’ is not a trait I particularly want to see in an elections officer.
‘Ohio was as dirty an election as America has ever seen.’ How George W. Bush stole the White House in 2004.
Amir Tofangsazan’s unintentional blog.
If you’re going to rip someone off on eBay by selling them a broken laptop, make sure you wipe the hard disk. Ah, the common con artist held to ridicule… a classic web story.
The Saddest Museum in the World
I know I mentioned as recently as yesterday that I wouldn’t be writing anything here, but something has happened since to make me rethink that idea. I think of myself as a fairly tough guy; I keep a lot of things to myself without showing much emotion at all. Yet sometimes even people like me come across a story so sad, poignant and connected that we just can’t help but have a good cry about it. This moment came for me today at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It came as I read the story of Sadako Sasaki and her origami cranes. Continue reading The Saddest Museum in the World
You can almost see the tumbleweeds going by…
Indeed not much has been going on here recently… the reason is that I’m on vacation in Asia. So far I’m really enjoying Japan generally and Kyoto in particular; tomorrow it’s Hiroshima, then Tokyo for four days, then the Taiwanese capital Taipei. Let’s face it, I’d rather go sight-seeing and picture-taking than staying in my hotel editing pictures and thinking of witty things to say, so this blog will return (for real!) in early June.
