A review of Japanese junk food. I really want to go to Japan one of these days. I just want to check out all the cool, weird stuff they have there.

Now here\’s something cool out of good ol\’ UC Irvine. I don\’t entirely understand it, but it has something to do with networks and distributed architecture based on biological concepts. I couldn\’t get into the site but I\’ll try again later.

The Professor Who Took His Work (And Himself) A Little Too Seriously. This story is just weird.

Ha ha! This is hilarious: Stephen Hawking Builds Robotic Exoskeleton. Man, I love the Onion. And to think, I\’d never even heard of it up until a few weeks ago.

Pioneer has the world\’s first DVD recorder. Now when your DVD burn messes up you can lose even more money than a CD-R mess up.

Internet Start-ups Forced to use \’Money\’. Heh heh.

So E3 is over now and I\’m going through all the coverage on the game sites. If you don\’t know anything about the \”booth babe\” controversy, here it is: E3 is a huge show where all the game companies have to compete with each other for the gaming press\’ attention, so to attract more visitors to their booths they have scantily-clad babes pretty much \”on display.\” Now I have to admit, I checked out the booth babe pictures just like every other guy would do, even though I know it\’s stupid and exploitative. I can\’t believe the companies get away with it. They\’re giving us gamers a bad image. I\’m surprised there haven\’t been more complaints about this practice and that it hasn\’t been banned yet.

I noticed they fixed that little Blogger bug where the archive html files it generates lose the carriage returns, so that everything gets squished into a few long lines. Damn, I love Blogger.

I just saw the commercial for Road Trip and Story of Nothing, by The Aquabats, was playing in the background. Coincidentally, I\’ve been obsessed with that song lately: I play it at least 5 times a day. Anyway, that\’s just a little thing that amuses my simple mind.

I didn\’t find out about this until it was almost too late: Today is Blog Weblog Wannabe Day! Cool.
