I’ve been so busy catching up and doing fun stuff on my trip back to Singapore I haven’t blogged as much in the last few days, though given my overarching verbosity you probably all think that’s a good thing :). In this post I regale you not with a tale of software or technology but with a coffee machine brought back from the dead!
Adelaide Now is reporting that millions of Australians have had their first drink by age 10, and that it’s the reason for alcohol abuse later in life. I don’t buy it.
The Barack Obama and Nikon D60 Part One episode!
Terribly good jokes told by people who can’t tell jokes; Barack Obama’s inauguration on TV; relieved farewell to Dubbya; more relieved Sarah Palin didn’t win than Barack did; silly thing John McCain said; the American founding fathers; Thomas Jefferson on church and state; getting a Nikon D60 for Christmas; pixel density is more important then megapixels; my old FinePix S9600; how bridge cameras compare to real single lens reflex (SLR) cameras; realising shows shouldn’t be recorded at 2am; an exciting new hobby and discovering green tea is… green tea!

Drinking way too much coffee, being addicted to sashimi and sushi (mercury poisoning), a Rubenerd Traffic Report, contacting Boyd-Anderson, Boyd-Anderson.com post (New Zealand still hasn’t got over their pavlova being "stolen"), and why I don’t really consider anywhere "home" anymore.

Ruben trying to speak Mandarin, talking to a Chinese high school girl in Starbucks (Japanese school uniforms not suited to the cold), Adelaide weather (freezing, the “heat factor”), high school not best years of my life (local Singaporean girls at work nicer), another John Howard Joke, and is drinking coffee masculine and macho?
