A space shuttle astronaut answers the question “What happens when you crap in outer space?” Some interesting details.

Barack Obama’s campaign launched a web site to fight back lies and misinformation relating to him in the media.

Although the sign said cake and other stuff, the store has anything but cake. It’s sort of like a small grocery store with some snacks. Since we were the only two in the store, we might as well grab something to drink. I picked up two small cans of some kind of Korean sweet drink.

I went up to the counter and realized that I only have two dollars in my wallet. I asked the lady who is probably in her 60s how much are the drinks and gave her my two bucks. She couldn’t speak a word of English. I told her to write down the price for me. She wrote down a one, a Korean word next to it and a five underneath the word. I couldn’t understand what it meant. I asked the helper who were about her age, and the other didn’t know a word either. So I guessed it was one fifty. I told her I just want one drink then and put back the other one. She didn’t open the register, but pulled out three quarters from her pocket. She kept looking at the quarters and still didn’t give me my change.

A customer who was a younger Korean walked in and the lady at the counter said something to her. I asked the younger lady how much are the drinks and she didn’t speak English either. In the mean time the lady was still counter her quarters. I finally told them to forget about it. I didn’t want the drink anymore. Sorry.

The best naked music video I have ever watch. It’s actually safe for work. The beat is quite groovy too.

Video of a baby playing with cobra. Unbelievable!

It was the flies that caused this.

NPR profiles Willie ‘The Lion’ Smith:

He’s been called a musician’s musician, one whose original approach made him the envy of virtually every pianist in jazz. Well-known for his flamboyant behavior, ever-present cigar, and derby hat, Willie Smith — nicknamed “The Lion” — was a master practitioner of Harlem stride piano.

The web team at Vassar has launched several new sites. Chris reworked the History Department. Kevin completely revived the Libraries. An outside freelancer rebooted the Powerhouse Theater (a good old version of mine could still be view here). Of course, I also banged out a clean and simple design for Art Department. Congrats everyone for the fantastic jobs.

As you can see for the past two weeks, I have been posting quick thoughts and links on the right side bar via Twitter. That way I can reserve the blog for longer posts. It works well except for two problems. First, Twitter has been tremendously slow due to the increase of twits and users. It also takes while to load on my page. The second problem is much more important. My Google Ads take a huge drop because of the lacking in blog posts. Twitter makes quick posts so much easy though so I am still weighing the advantages and disadvantages between the two.

These days I hardly have anything to blog. My marriage life is so far so good. I eat right and sleep pretty well; therefore, no dramas to write about. I am also getting tired of reviewing Vietnamese music. Looking back at my archive for the past two years, not so many albums I get a positive review. In fact, these reviews make me sound like a harsh prick. There are no innovators like Tung Duong and Ngoc Khue that get me excited anymore. I am just going to wait until I come across something that worth writing about, or else I am not even going to bother anymore.
