Drug smugglers pretended to be religious pilgrims to smuggle cocaine into Europe. You gotta love stuff like this.

I just saw the strangest thing: the trash bag in my trashcan is missing, but the trash is still in there. How weird is that?

I\’ve noticed that most bloggers do a redesign every 4 or 5 months or so. Sometimes even more frequently. Which means it\’s just about time that I should redesign. Hmmm…maybe I\’ll change this to Running Green Lights. Nah, that doesn\’t make any sense at all. Running Yellow Lights? That\’s not cool, everybody does that. Maybe I should move in an abstract, cubist direction. Lights Running Red.
Ah, fuck it. I\’ll stick with this design a little while longer.

Clothes with built-in computers are about to go on sale in Europe. Now, I love the cyberpunk look, but I\’m not sure I want to walk around with a computer embedded in my jacket. Unless the computer\’s hooked up to a death ray.

I feel so sorry for this baby who was named after a website. His parents sold him out and when he gets older he\’ll be too embarassed to explain where his name comes from.

Sony is going to make a VAIO laptop powered by Transmeta\’s Crusoe processor. Personally, I think VAIOs are some of the nicest looking laptops on the market. I think I\’ve found the next thing to drain my bank account.

It always makes my day when the latest issue of my favorite comic is out. On Friday I stopped by a local comic shop and picked up Optic Nerve #7. If you\’ve never read Optic Nerve or anything by Adrian Tomine, do so immediately. Optic Nerve has some of the most realistic, compelling stories I\’ve ever read. His characters could easily be people I\’ve known or met throughout my life. His stories have sad endings, but that\’s how life is. If you\’re still hesitant, read these two one-page strips.

Computer Games Online (one of the ugliest sites I\’ve seen) has a preview of Escape From Monkey Island. Yay! The insults are back:
\”I\’ve defeated twelve people today alone.\”
\”How do you know? You don\’t have that many fingers.\”And when you\’re done reading the preview, read this overview of the characters. Yay! Herman Toothrot\’s back.

Not much happening lately. I don\’t feel like blogging anything. This site never gets hits anyway so I don\’t think anyone\’s going to notice or complain.
I developed 2 rolls of film all by myself. I\’m really proud of that. I might have a slight problem for my photo class though: I was planning to use my dad\’s Pentax SLR, but the light meter doesn\’t work. At first I thought the battery was dead, so I had to special order one from Radio Shack. Battery arrives in the mail today, and I stick it in the camera. Light meter still doesn\’t work. So now I figure the light meter\’s broken. I gotta get a camera soon, cause I have another roll of film due Monday. I think I\’ll check out some used camera stores tomorrow. My savings account is draining.
Well whaddaya know, I guess I did have something to blog.
