2.0's Ultrasound pics
We went to the radiologist today and had an ultrasound done. Kelly is about 5 months along. Here are the pics: (click for Flickr gallery)
This is my favorite shot:
All it’s missing is the hand gesture. 
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
What’s that sound? Why, it’s the sound of your cable guy taking a nap in your son’s bed. Twice.
Japanese Golden Poop Charm
I’m a Japanese American (0.5), but I’m so far removed from Japanese culture that I only know three things about it:
- The food kicks ass
- They got bombed back to the stone age in 1945
- The things they find humorous, I will never understand
Case in point, the subject of this post: the Golden Poop Charm.
Forgive me for going Seinfeldian on you, but, really, what is the deal with that? I know that this isn’t just some weird fad, either. Go to YouTube.com and search for videos of Japanese TV. They are into some sick ***, and apparently this is the stuff that they show on regular cable. Maybe the ability to withstand torture and public humiliation gives you some sort of higher social status over there.
The $1.6 Billion Question
And, more importantly, if they do, how will the service change?

If you asked, “What is the number of years Homer has been on this earth?”, you are correct. Here’s your prize.
Happy Birthday, Homeslice!
(And with that, my fifth inane posting of the day, I call it a night.)
BTTF fans: Biff's Question Song
Tom Wilson (aka “Biff”) sings a song about the questions he gets asked the most:
Bibimbap
No, I’m not drunk and trying to tap out a Hanson tune on my keyboard. That’s what I had for dinner on Saturday night at Manna Korean Restaurant in Davis.
Bibimbap (aka bi bim bap, bi bim bop, 3B) is a Korean dish consisting of various veggies, a fried egg, Korean beef, and some sort of chile pepper paste. If you’re one of those weirdo vegetarians, you can even get it made with tofu. You eat it by mixing all of the ingredients together. The level of heat depends on how much paste you mix in. I like mine spicy, so I heap on generous amounts. At the end of any given 3B meal, I generally have a good sweat going on my brow.
Dallas PD gives car to criminal
From Gizmodo:
Police in Dallas, TX are kicking themselves in the [rear] after the GPS functionality of a “bait car” has failed and their baited criminal has gotten away, scott-free, with a new car. Bait cars are cars prepped for the purpose of being stolen. They have GPS tracking, cameras and other remote sensors. Once a thief takes the car, the police just use the GPS to track down the criminal and make an arrest.
Thanks, all!
We had everyone over for dinner last night. It was an Italian-themed meal: bruschetta, lasagna, and some sort of custard dessert. We also had plenty of Birra Morretti to go around. It was fantastic. Anyway, thanks to everyone for coming over, and a special thanks to the Cobbs for bringing Porter over to keep Homer entertained.
Bonzi lands in Houston
How sad for him, but at least he didn’t go the way of the Dodo Latrell Sprewell:
Bonzi signs with Houston for 2 years, $5 mil
For those not keeping track, last month he turned down a 5-year, $36 million offer to stay with the Kings. Quite a pay cut, no?
