Adios Baji
Another notch on the extinct list. Damm. What are we doing to this world? The baji is gone, a by-product of the human lifestyle. Way to go. China sucks. Well, the by-product of China's advancement regrettably sucks.

MPAA can suck it
The MPAA strikes again. I get most of my guitar tabs from http://www.guitartabs.cc. And guess what? They've had to pull their collection down because the MPAA is using their lawyers to scare the site into submission. Copyright infringement indeed. When was it illegal to share

I've been a little (ok, a lot) out of the loop recently, but God, take a look at this schmuck. Is this a typical dorkschool wanna-be or what? UBS applicant loser.

Finally, Laos!
I am feeling a bit better, however. Just splurged on a nice hotel -- stellar dining, swimming pool, down comforters (!) ... now I just have to find that $5 massage and I'm back to roughing it.

Offbeat Attractions
When (not if) I take my road trip across America and Canada, I'm definitely going to consult this site. Assuming that aliens (or Christian conservatives) haven't taken over the the States. Jackalope Territory! Mystery Hole! It's so cool. You just click on a state
