Amanda Palmer is my new obsession

And to think, I would have never heard of The Dresden Dolls if I didn’t come across this video totally randomly. Amanda Palmer “Creep” Live On Uke From Red Peters’ ODDVILLE from Amanda Palmer on Vimeo. Sphere: Related Content

Dresden Dolls to SockDreams

I can’t believe I haven’t heard of The Dresden Dolls till now. So I give you Amanda Palmer at the Boston Pops with ‘Coin Operated Boy’. “COIN OPERATED BOY”, AMANDA PALMER PLAYING BOSTON POPS from Cloud Club on Vimeo. I actually saw ‘Missed Me’ on YouTube first. But, still, they’re both ridiculously catchy. At any [...]

Ely Kim

I am currently watching what has to be one of the most awesome compilations of dancing ever. Ely Kim, a Yale grad student, put together this great video of him dancing to 100 songs, in 100 locations, over 100 days. Absolutely entertaining at its very best. And I’m hoping at least one of my sad [...]

New crazy Facebook meme

This time I caught it early. So early that the NYTimes hasn’t even posted a story about it — yet. It’s the random album cover image meme! No, I really don’t have a better title for it yet. Details after the jump, after my creation. Sphere: Related Content

Need help with my About page

Go here and ask me a question. Preferably things that I can post. I’ve written so many ‘About’ pages already, I need something more unique to post. And what better way than to ask my [currently][limited] reader pool? Have at it. Sphere: Related Content

U.S. paying ‘forgotten’ Filipino veterans

This is quite a milestone: U.S. to pay ‘forgotten’ Filipino World War II veterans While the Philippines was a U.S. commonwealth, the U.S. military promised full veteran benefits/compensation to any Filipinos who wished to join the war effort. Naturally, more than 250,000 joined. What happened after that? President Truman signed the Rescission Act in 1946 [...]

Where it all began – Feb 23, 2000

I gotta admit. This is kinda weird, putting my journal out into the wide open Internet… for a good portion of people to see. But the intrigue is enough for me to try it out. Sure, I’ll still have my handwritten one — especially the entries I have during english class… those are more fun [...]

9 years

Since I decided to make the move from paper journals to the largely undiscovered territory of the web. I should have bought a domain then. Should have learned more HTML. Should have gone more tech… But then again, this was when people were telling me that ‘Internet is bad and detrimental to your future!’. Yeah, [...]

Strange dream

We were all at Game Night at a friend’s place — but it really wasn’t his place. It looked like a combination of 70s style mustard colored kitchen, art deco living room in varying shades of tangerine and strawberry (his words, not mine), an exceptionally avant garde/modern/minimalist bedroom with one of those circular beds — [...]

Legacy of AOL

Does anyone use AOL’s 1000 hrs FREE CDs anymore? How many of us still remember those CDs that would clog up our snail-mail appointed mailboxes? Did any of us even suspect that it was a real-life metaphor for email and snail mail? I barely ever use envelopes or the post office to send things now. [...]
