Last time I went to Taiwan, I was still unable to reach the 3rd Costco in Taipei (designated the Shih Chih Costco) due to a variety of technical problems. None of the Costcos are conveniently accessible via subway, not that I would imagine being able to haul back a Costco-sized load of groceries on the … Read more
My favorite “Japanese” food is Curry Katsu. It stands head and shoulders above all other forms of Japanese food. The problem is, most of the places around these parts think Japanese food = Sushi. So the funny part is the only place it seems you can get to get curry are at Hawaiian places, so … Read more
Starting today I’m branching out more on my reviews. In addition to the typical food and pizza reviews, I’m going to start reviewing DVD releases, books and miscellaneous other items. There’s likely to be a few other changes in the next few days. Stay tuned for the surprises. Actually, when I say, “today”, I mean, … Read more

The conditions and the sunlight were just right to form this absolutely perfect rainbow, which ran complete from ground to ground.

I couldn’t take it anymore! The world is filled with just too many dumb-ass ideas. I joined the Skeptics Society today. Please, people… start reading, and start thinking. Technorati Tags: Science
Just happened to pick up a newspaper Friday and discovered there was an Hawaiian (and Pacific Islander) festival in Phoenix called the AZ Aloha Festival this weekend. We took the kids (or should I say, “keiki”?) down to see what it was like. I really was surprised to see how much larger it was than … Read more
We stopped to buy groceries in Sprouts yesterday. Spouts is a little too loony for doing our general shopping, but it’s got some things you just can’t find elsewhere, and sometimes they have some great bargains on meats. While I was waiting to for the reset of the family to take a group bathroom break, … Read more
