Angels and Demons is Comical

September 30, 2009
angelsdemons

Finally got to see the Angels and Demons movie while on my flight back from Japan. That’s the wonderful thing about long-haul flights, I can always catch up on the movies that I’ve missed.
Overall, it was a good flick. Great storytelling, superb direction, and excellent acting.  Nowhere near as good as The DaVinci Code movie, [...]

September 29, 2009

I made some minor site changes over the past month, just thought I’d jot it down in case you hadn’t noticed.
There is now a shiny, blue RSS button to click on on the right side. (so you can get updated immediately in your favorite reader like feedburner or google reader).
I’ve added links so you can [...]

It seems like everyone is afraid of The Man these days.
In this age of solo web entrepreneurs like Tim Ferris with his Four Hour Work Week,  Seth Godin telling you All Marketers are Liars and Small is the New Big, and Chris Brogan telling you to Develop a Strong Personal Brand, it’s quite easy to [...]

Flip Mino HD Testing = Me Sucking on Piano

September 28, 2009

I recently got a Flip mino HD in the mail and decided to give it a spin. It had been a few months since I actually sat down at a piano, so I figured I’d be rusty… but I didn’t think I would be able to absolutely eff up up 9 songs in under 5 [...]

salty

I’ve noticed this odd habit that many Americans seem to have. When sitting down to enjoy a finely cooked meal, before even tasting the food on their plate, they proudly announce, ‘Can you please pass the Salt and Pepper?’
They then begin to sprinkle (or pour) a generous amount of these common spices onto their food. [...]

I relish new comments and I always want to interact with them and thank people for taking the time to post.
So when I come across a few new commenters with believable comments, I usually check their website to see who they are. When I had a comment from Caitlyn Reynolds with a Gravatar it seemed [...]

Are you Addicted to Arguing?

September 26, 2009
arguing

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I enjoy a good argument. I like to argue, and I love to play devils advocate. Arguing was almost considered a sport in my family while I was growing up.
The best arguments were arguing about useless facts when neither side knew the correct answer. One of us would [...]

Lazy Man’s Tokyo Post Mortem

September 25, 2009
moderngeisha

I never understood why the term Post Mortem (after death) was coined for things like this (a recap), it just sounds so… deadly, and final.
Coming back from Japan, and pretty much over the jet lag. Thought I’d post a few comments and things I didn’t mention while I was there.
