Disneyland, January 18 to 20 How we know each other Rao and I worked together 10 years ago on an enormous Year 2000 computer project and have stayed in touch ever since. I attended his wedding in New Jersey many years ago and was unable to blend in to the crowd of hundreds because: (1) […]

Will Rudy drop out?
NBC 4 is saying that Rudy has not said he is dropping out but apparently in his Florida concession speech he kept referring to his campaign in the past tense. Here’s hoping he pulls the plug.

Co-president?
I like Senator Hillary Clinton but President Clinton is selling himself as part of the package. That’s not good. When he says “These are tough times. We can bring America back. We’ve done it before.” then he’s using the good will he built to get himself into office. I don’t like that; his time as […]

Shigofumi is one weird anime
I started watching Shigofumi. The idea here is that after people die they have an opportunity to write one letter to one person. Fumika’s job is to deliver that letter which she does dispassionately. In the first episode Fumika was to deliver a letter from Ayase Asuna’s late father to her boyfriend. Fumika finds Shouta […]

DNA samples taken from anyone arrested?
In NYC for the state of the city address, Mayor Bloomberg apparently is proposing that DNA samples be taken from everyone arrested. I think the idea is like the police running the ID of anyone who jumps a subway turnstile. If they’re naughty enough to jump a turnstile then they might have an outstanding warrant. […]

They still have Blades of Glory
I loves parodies. This Youtube video sums up HD-DVD v Blu-ray nicely. Update: This link still works.

Is Rudy cured?
Wow. Miracles do happen. After many attempts and interventions Rudy has been able to appear in public without having his 9/11 Tourette’s syndrome kicking in. Every article I have read seems to concentrate on the fact that he left out the English only part of his talking points and how politically poisonous Katherine Harris still […]
Just finished assembling the HG Gundam Exia. It’s good and when the weather is warmer I’ll probably paint it. Except for the shoulders, the whole thing breaks up for easy painting. The Exia was built right after the HG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam was completed. Here is a picture of the completed model: Behind it are […]
