I did a lot of traveling in October. First I was in Tokyo for a few days, came back to the States, then I went to London for 2 weeks. I\’m a world traveler now, that\’s like 15 timezones! Tokyo was lots of fun, but very crowded and expensive. I went with a tour group and I was only there like 3 full days so it felt sort of hectic and rushed. Although I think Tokyo is just naturally hectic and rushed.

London was amazing. I\’ve wanted to go for a long time and I finally got around to doing it. I originally wanted to go right after I finished college but I didn\’t have any money. It was just as cool as I thought it would be. I went by myself and took the tube everywhere, saw a lot of the city. I visited a lot of the major sights but even with 2 weeks I ran out of time and missed stuff. Oh well, all the more reason to go back in the future. I\’ll try to put up some pictures soon.

This site is very cool: theme park maps. I still have Disneyland and Disney World maps from the 80s and I used to spend hours looking at them.

This is so cool: Monkey Island 2 rendered using the Crysis game engine. The video shows what Monkey Island would look like if it were a 1st person shooter.

Presenting the 50 best foods in the world and where to eat them. The best milkshake in the world, at Fosselman\’s, is about 15 minutes from me. I think I\’ll go there tomorrow.

If I had a lot of time and money I think it would be so cool to travel around the world and eat every one of these.

This is pretty cool: a cityscape made of staples. I can just imagine a little Godzilla made of staple removers coming through and wrecking it.

Interesting piece about sci-fi corridors. The Alien corridors look like an OSHA nightmare.
