I donated blood today at the drive at work. It almost didn’t happen, because I didn’t get to eat lunch until about 5. The boss is away until Thursday, so I’ve been in charge. The wireless contractor couldn’t figure out why our access points in our building weren’t working; actually they were working, but the [...]

Late Saturday night, I was in the mood not to go to sleep just yet, and the next thing I knew, I was watching “Airplane II.” Those Airplane movies were funny stuff – Robert Hayes as Ted Styker, the hapless pilot; Julie Haggerty as Elaine, his love interest; and the guest stars galore; and a [...]

Sing with me, folks; sing to the tune of that little “Annie” ditty: Will the sun come out, tomorrow? … Meteorologist Nick Gregory on Channel 5 news reports that we got a season’s worth of rain within a week. Yowza. So, we don’t know very much about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers. But, she does [...]

Weeks of no rain leads to this: a whole week of rain. But, at least some people have perspective – the flooded folks out in NJ told some tv news reporters that, on the bright side, it’s not like it’s Katrina. People can deal. And, we can avoid a drought. But, the wet and gray [...]

Growing pains at Microsoft? Hmm. A bit late of me to link, but I liked reading it – “The Has-Been” section on Slate discusses Democrats who have actual ideas and ideals and he links to Barack Obama’s interesting article, which was posted on the political liberal blog, Daily Kos. (Senator Obama’s article is also cross-posted [...]

Getting ready to head out for 2 meetings and then a close mad dash to KLIA for my mid afternoon flight. It’ll be a Mach 4 shave. Looking forward to coming back again. So much to do in Taipei once I get back. I heard another Typhoon is on the way. So you guys come [...]

Ramadan celebrations and the 9-God Festival for Buddhists are all happening this past week. Just came back to KL from Ipoh. Got in a little late and luckily picked up a Chinese taxi-driver. The bus terminal is a bit rough around there at night…. reminds of the bad times of the Port Authority. Checking in [...]
