I just upgraded to apple iLife ’08. I love it. in about 5 minutes I was able to update my settings to allow .mac to host my website and upload directly from iweb. This makes blogging so much easier--I may actually do it now.

Tuk-Tuks

Tuk-Tuk may sound like a delicious middle eastern dish, but in reality they are gasoline powered death-traps operated throughout South East Asia. They may not be safe, but they have a few distinct advantages over taxis. 1, they are cheap,2, they don’t smell like smoke, and 3, the drivers are not as arrogant and their high-society taxi driving brethren, so haggling the price is a much simpler affair. If the US was not so safety (or environmentally) conscious, this would be a much cheaper and more effective alternative to the mass transit woes of major cities.

Starting Again

We have been offline for about 4 months now. Not really any good excuse for that. Anyway, we are back and hopefully we will do much better to keep this up to date. By the way, this beautiful beach is not in China, it is in Malaysia. This accounts for about 1 month of us not blogging.
