From the “Let’s all sing a long” Dept. I was trolling through the web—NO, I was NOT surfing for porn!—and I found this site that catalogues the 20 Best Corporate Anthems. Too Funny!

Update on the X-box Controller
From the “ERGOnomical” Dept. In a recent blog called Remembering the past few days; a retrospect, I mentioned my satisfaction with a newly redesigned controller for the Japanese version of the X-Box.

The Brotherhood of the Stag

Artificial Intelligence
Jen and I watched A.I. yesterday—Stanley Kubrick, as realised by Steven Spielberg. It was a wholly forgetable movie. Except for Teddy. Jen liked Teddy. But I think most women are prone to like fuzzy, cute things. Anyways, as I was telling Kevin—better yet, I’ll just show you the MSN Log: Cheers, Tai
