I once saw a programme in Japan, about a thief who got caught stealing carpets.
Imagine, putting on your slippers in the living room, in the morning, looking around, feeling funny. Then noticing the carpet’s gone. The furniture’s all been moved, and back into its proper place. The wallet you left out last night, is still […]

Busy road, a fluffy animal caught in the river of speeding cars. “Be careful raccoon!” I thought and waved my hand to the drivers, made sure the animal got across safely.
I followed it as it ran under a parked car. Upon a closer look, “A GIANT RAT!”
It’s called a “possum” I later found. It’s long […]

A few years ago, inspired by Emoto Masaru, I conducted an experiment with 4 bottles of water. I wrote the words ‘spicy‘, ‘sweet‘, ‘sour‘ and ‘happy‘ on 4 small pieces of paper and taped it to the bottles. I spoke the labeled word to each bottle, once or twice a day, for about 4 […]

My co-worker came to the office a bit excited, a bit blue-faced. “The Muni was on time today, but on the way, a lady screamed. I looked her way, she was standinig near the door, the train was running when the door opened! A man grabbed her arm so she was okay, but the door was fully […]

My friend went to the ear doctor and had extracted enough earwax to fill a shot glass. “I can hear so much better!” His mood was 1 shot glass lighter.
The doctor warned him not to use Q tips, saying it pushes ear wax further in, which was why my friend lost hearing in one ear and had to see […]

Grand Theft Auto is an online multi-player reality game that looks like this:

You become part of a story in a make-belief NYC, stealing and driving cars, helicopters, boats, shooting guns, swimming, jumping, climbing, making phone calls, or even watching TV in hotel rooms. Crazy as it sounds, you can entre a CG hotel room, […]

The recent cyclone in Burma has lead me to search more about climate change, which has lead me to the website Treehugger, which has lead me to this page, which has lead me to this map.
The map is created by Alex Tingle, where “users can adjust the sea level in 1 meter increments up to […]

“Tomorrow’s transportation” created by an 18 year old Canadian, Ben Gulak. (Did my research, it’s really real. Sorry I involve you in some of my gullibilities, like God’s Hands. Not this time.)

And it’s echo (and eco!) friendly.

It came up in a conversation, “he lived in the jungle in the Philippines, this Japanese soldier didn’t know the war was over until 29 years later!”
I thought it was just one person, but no, I came upon a web site dedicated to a band of soldiers who lived the war many seasons too long.
“Imagine […]

Slaves in America picked up Western instruments after the Civil War and played them with an African twist.
“Interesting music, what’s it called?”
“Oh, is jazz (just) music”.
So the word jazz came from their pronunciation of ‘just‘.  Or so my dad read somewhere. Don’t know if it’s true, but sounds convincing, especially after reading two pages of […]
