This one’s for my husband, who will undoubtedly turn me into a World Cup Widow for the next month… Marca has a nifty (and beautifully-designed) interactive World Cup schedule so that you can be sure to never miss a match. Mouseover a date, a team, a group/stage, or cities/stadiums to get the details you need. Via FlowingData.
J and I love the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. My preferred instrument is the drums, while J likes to rock it out on the guitar — on expert mode, no less. We always joke about how years down the road, J will turn into Randy Marsh (my favorite South Park character), and so […]
What happens to the number of stars on Old Glory when a new state joins the union? Well, a federal law requires that the number of stars must equal the number of states. But the greater question remains: where would we put the new star? Fear not, for mathematician Skip Garibaldi has created a computer […]
If your day looks as rainy and dreary like mine, hopefully this teacup piglet wearing bright red rainboots will cheer you up… Via Dalimunthe.
You know the last scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? A glimpse into the happy future that Harry was able to provide for him and his friends? Well, I guess they’ve started to film that scene because I’ve got pictures of what Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco will look like! I personally cannot […]

I am lucky that most of the people who choose to comment here are polite and courteous, if not overly supportive. However, I do get the nasty comment here and there and […]
I used to love the boardgame Monopoly. I really did. My friends and I would play well into the night, and whenever a game looked like it would last longer than our tuckered-out bodies, we would take a picture of the board (so that no one would be tempted to cheat), grab our colorful paper […]
Since I had so much fun talking about a teenage crush yesterday, I thought I would start today on another one: Uncle Jesse from Full House. Notice I said “Uncle Jesse,” not “John Stamos.” It’s because I have a habit of falling for characters as opposed to the actors who portray them. (Hence my tendency to […]
We all know that Apple is not a fan of Flash and is in full support of HTML5 replacing the ubiquitous multimedia platform. (Although I’m not a big fan of Flash myself, I don’t get Apple’s argument against Flash for not being “open” when their products are some of the most closed, proprietary out there. […]
I have never been one to do “tourist-y” activities, even when I am at a locale I have been dying to visit. I’m pretty sure that my aversion to tourist-y activities comes from the combination of the fear of being mistaken for a stereotypical Japanese tourist (because apparently, all Asians look alike) and being around […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
