However, I refuse to backdate! Let this be NaBloPo1/2Mo, for everyone who’s ever said better late than never.
Of course it was one of the happiest days of my life. I knew I wanted another Nakaya in my collection. When I went to Aesthetic Bay, what was in my mind was a decapod. I knew they had those in stock, from my previous trip. Instead, I chose (or perhaps it chose me) the …
I already miss our new old house and we’ve not been back a day. I call it the new old house because it’s a new house filled with old things, an accretion of crocheted antimacassars, floral bedspreads, ceramic animals, free tumblers, glow-in-the-dark holy figurines and back issues dating to the invention of the printing press, …
Yesterday I received a Well Koi pen in the mail. According to Dr. Dutcher’s listing, Well was one of the smaller pen manufacturers in Japan, and it eventually went under. This pen might have been a last gasp. I photographed it beside a Koi pen from one of the manufacturers that survived: Platinum. The Platinum …
It comes with a 512 mb memory stick, a replacement charger, extra stylii. The flap with the number keys is in the office, as are the mini-screws that attach it to the body. I’ll put the flap back on if the buyer asks. I can’t find the cd’s. If you’re on a PC and can …
Uploaded with Skitch! I love Skitch. It’s from plasq, the same crew who came up with Comic Life (now out for Windows). Both applications make creativity accessible and spontaneous.

From ‘Bobesh on Flickr, a great shot of Singapore Airlines’ A380 touching down in Sydney. We took a much smaller version to and from Singapore, in my shortest stay there ever: overnight. After the meeting, we had time to ourselves. We walked around Orchard Road. I went to Kinokuniya and picked up three graphic novels: …
That simple instruction sent me to SM looking for a dress. On the way, I passed the aftermath of the blast: pedestrians in a hurry, weaving in and out of the unfamiliar, uncomfortable darkness. There were no neon signs, no backlit store displays, no smells of butter and bread wafting from the entrance of Glorietta …
I received my Flock 1.0 beta invite the other day. “And you’ll never…surf…alooone!” The People sidebar is the most obvious difference between 0.9 and 1.0. I can see my Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Flickr contacts (if I choose too) in the sidebar and interact with them as I browse. When I select the Flickr icon …
That’s what Joey, WordPress.org person, said to me last night when I proudly showed her my “new” blog. So I chose the upgrade option to get custom CSS working. I just don’t feel like doing it today. There is a gray veil of rain beyond the gray window behind the gray blinds. Monotone, monochrome, a …
