Let Congress know that their intention to cut PBS funding is wrong. The vote’s this Wednesday, June 22, 2005. I’ll get off my soapbox now. Amazing book review of Trudeau’s latest Doonesbury book, covering B.D.’s adjustment to the lost of his leg, helmet, and homecoming from war. A story on shark fin soup and Disneyland [...]

To recap this past week – Finally had Giordano’s pizza in Chicago — technically, it’s “stuffed pizza”, not deep dish pizza, neither of which is really pizza to a real New Yorker (to be called pizza here, you have to at least be able to handle the product with your bare hands — the best [...]

Beautiful spring weather today. In the CD player right now: “More than You Think You Are” album, by Matchbox 20. An interesting NY Times column by Clyde Haberman on how Shea Stadium got its name (because William Shea was the lawyer/power broker who got the Mets for NYC) and the Shea family’s hope that maybe [...]

The weather is soo much better today. But, the subways are still hot and yucky. Blech. “Batman Begins”! The reviews make it sound pretty darn good. And, Christian Bale. I haven’t actually seen a Bale movie before (clips of “Empire of the Sun” don’t count; and I’ve been too chicken hearted to see his grizzlier [...]

And so it’s Monday. Pardon the long post – keep cool while reading. Oh, and how’s the deep dish pizza, FC? The Michael Jackson verdict! The analysis of Slate was interesting. Personally, I barely followed the coverage – it was too stupid and excessive for its own good (like I needed to read or hear [...]

Ugh – I hate humidity. Summer’s not going to be that pleasant, I can say. Enjoy the deep dish pizza, FC. I do wonder if it’s better in Chicago (since it is a classic Chicago dish). The whole speculating on who’s going to be the next Supreme Court justice (assuming anyone will even step down [...]

Haven’t got my quota of deep dish pizza yet. The Giordano’s near my hotel closed down, so we’re going to try again today. Went throug Millenium Park yesterday — there was this water feature that was very nice, especially because it was so hot. The buffet dinner at the Park Grill was also excellent. Chatted [...]

You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to [...]

Yup, back in Taipei now and just getting around to shaking off the lag. Been trying out Fun software and seeing how I can use this to help build business and my professional and social connections. Trying out different Forum and Portal software. Tried PunBB but wasn’t able to get that fixed. Still waiting to [...]

Landed about 30 minutes ago at Chicago O’Hare. A lot of people are trying to reconnect with outbound flights because of the 2.5 hour delay. Getting to the subway took a while – had to walk from terminal 4 to terminal 1 to get to the station. The fare is $1.75, with a 10% bonus [...]
