Underdog Blog
Monday, July 23rd, 2007Swollenpickles (swollenpickledonions?) rates this blog, and 24 others as "underdog blogs." The article is positively titled "25 of the lowest ranked top 100 Australian blogs"
What's more, I loved to watch Underdog on the TV. Now there is a lame-arse Disney movie coming in August. Another of my childhood icons destroyed!

Lost in Microsoft
Monday, July 23rd, 2007Up, to work. Parking easy as everyone is somewhere else. Frankarr on the internal TV system not doing LOLCATS. Speaking Shakespeare to promote TechEd. Even when Frankarr is not in the building, his Hamlet-ian ghost haunts us.

Japan 2.0: Dear Japan…
Friday, July 20th, 2007Dear Japan
I think I really like you as a friend, but I am no longer in love.
It's not you, it's me. The love of the new, the unknown, the forbidden is gone.
It is not the great public transport, the very friendly and courteous people. The wall-to-wall shopping.
I am sure we can still be friends. [...]

Japan 2.0: Maps
Thursday, July 12th, 2007Exits are numbered and are important in the Tokyo subway system. A1-10, B1-12, C1-16. Yes, there are that many exits.
Thankfully the organisers of Japan have nice maps virtually everywhere, and you should not get lost.
Ginza is the home to shopping in brand-name stores. Today we visited the Sony, Nissan, Canon and Apple stores.
After visiting [...]
