Hey all, I upgraded to the newest version of MovableType, the PERL-based engine that renders my weblog. Some headaches with the upgrade, although I think things work. I’ll eventually wipe the site and rebuild. I finally seemed to have broken the inertia that has kept me from finishing this site, so you should be seeing…

From the “I’m too bored to blog” Dept. Hey All Anyways, I’ve done a lot in the past few days. Saw Monsoon Wedding (the first “Bollywood” movie I’ve seen in the theatres), and damn, I need to get some more “brown“ friends, because if that movie is any indication, Hindu (or is it Hindi..please correct…

My Parents moved here in 1973, they’ve worked hard to ensure a reasonably high quality…

From the “Design and ERGOnomical” Dept. Just wanted to spread the word about a few things that I have been reading of late. The first is a good article in Business 2.0 by Robert Partks entitled ““Great-Looking Product (Too Bad Nobody Wants It)—Why good design is not always good business”.

From the “Wrestlemania” Dept. It’s 4:20 am in the morning, and I needed to write down my experience at this year’s Wrestlemania (my first major wrestling event) at Toronto’s Skydome. The match of the day was the Rock againstHollywood Hulk Hogan. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest. The Rock is, and I quote, “The…
