I needed a Mario reference, but oh well, it’s probably overdone.

Finally got around to making a pipe using Yahoo Pipes for both my micro category feed and my general feed.

And that’s how you get good rose wine (oh, and a dash of lemon).

While looking up what 下敷き meant, I (quite randomly) came across:

Why Spock May be Guilty of Genocide

I finally got around to seeing the new Star Trek film. Overall, it is enjoyable, but I couldn’t figure out why Eric Bana is so pissed off all the time. Then I realized that we’ve never really heard  his side of the story, only Spock’s.  Let’s try to approach this as reasonably as possible from what we know from the film.
