I believe in the sand beneath my toes

Monday, July 31st, 2006

My goodness, it is hot.

My goodness, 10,000 pushups in a little over 3 hours at the age of 6 is incredible. Actually, anybody who can do 10,000 pushups must be Superman. I just have a hard time believing that Superman is so tiny!

Some Google Videos

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

Check out the three videos below. I saved the best for last. Enjoy! :)

Fantastic morphing advertisement for the new Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo DS Lite.

Google Talk getting better, finally

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

I’ve been using Google Talk for a while now, and very recently, I have more or less been using it as my primary online communication tool (with the exception of email). Since my move over to full-time web-based email through Gmail, I have found that using Google Talk is very useful productive. And since many [...]

User registration and comments

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Hello everybody! I am thinking about having site registration for user accounts so that people don’t have to fill in the annoying slots just to leave a comment.

How a menstrual cup works. In the second photo, is that grey stuff in the rectum poopoo?!
Sorry if this embarasses some of you who are viewing from work or even home. The human body is the human body, no?

I was invited to a Puma + Fader Magazine fashion show party at Avalon on Tuesday. The party was part of the Puma Gen F Live multi-city tour sponsored and put on by Fader magazine.
The event started at 8PM, and the line to go in was already becoming quite long before it even turned 8. [...]

‘Cause baby girl’s a queen

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Breaking news of the day: Lance Bass is gay! Thanks Pam for the immediate news.
Has anybody else been receiving spam filled with random images lately? I’ve been getting it sporatically for about 2 weeks now. It turns out that it’s all part of a new type of image-based spam. Heh, it’s funny that there’s a [...]
