video: today’s positive affirmation
A worth-repeating piece of advice from Kung Fu Panda. You’re never just anything. [flv:fat_panda.flv 500 210] I don’t normally enjoy Jack Black in movies, but he really did a great job in this one. He was still playing Jack Black,...
Sinfest: Hall of Justice
Once again, Sinfest knocks it out of the park. There were a lot of political cartoons going around about the historic event, but I kinda prefer my illustrated political commentary from Tatsuya Ishida. Since I’m sure people who read this...
…that’s how America got stuck with Utah.
I did rather need a laugh regarding all this Prop 8 stuff today. I’ve felt like all I can do when I try to add my voice to the discussions resulting from it is say the wrong thing, even when...

Yes We Ca-zzzz…
I’m working on about 3 or so hours sleep, the celebrations didn’t die down for quite a while on the street outside. Not that I’m complaining, but I am having a hard time deciding whether today in the office will...
