Well, I got back in last night from Mexico, which was awesome. At some point I’ll probably post some pictures and some words, but the executive summary is that vacation == great. You know what I’m saying? Also great == Oaxaca. So, you know, good times were had, pesos were spent and now I have to deal with the carnage being away for a semana wreaks. Sigh. Anyhow, what’d I miss? Seems like there’s still lines for iPhone 3G’s?? WTF?
At least you’ll be glad to know that Space Cruiser Yamato or better known to me as Star Blazers is set to get a new series 25 years after the first one ended! Seriously, that’s so great I am completely looking forward to this. I mean, hell, I found the theme song awhile ago on the internets and have it loaded up on the iTunes! That song is the booomb. Also, odd, is the fact that the producer has kinda been in jail for awhile now…
However, in September 1997, Nishizaki and his company, West Cape Corp., filed for bankruptcy. That December Nishizaki was arrested on drug charges and he later sailed to the Philippines while on bail. He was arrested on his return, and weapons were seized from his yacht. Nishizaki has spent much of the past decade in and out of jail and battling in courtrooms.
Nutty!
Lastly, I know many of you are sitting at the keyboard and wondering at your gender. You forget sometimes, it happens, don’t be embarrassed. Fortunately, fear no more, the internet has once again come to your aid with the online gender estimator! (via) This bad boy uses some javascripts to riffle through your browser’s history and then cross references that with some Quantcast gender demographic data to see what’s up with you. That’s completely fantastico. In case you were wondering, this thing works. It estimated me as 100% man, which jibes 100% with my own estimates. 100%.
