I was eating at the korean express on campus today and noticed the red machine on the counter with musubi in it. Does anyone know what that is? They look like white steamed rolls. What is inside?

Fischer is wanted in the U-S for playing a chess match in Yugoslavia in 1992 in violation of U-S sanctions. Japan arrested him last summer on a passport violation and he's been fighting extradition to the U-S.

Iceland's Parliament granted him citizenship this week. But going there might not protect him, since Iceland also has an extradition treaty with the U-S.

The Bobby Fischer (WIKIPEDIA - Bobby Fischer)story is indicative of everything that is wrong with the world.

What a great trig demo.

Now, Japan's cell phone users are turning pages.

Several mobile Web sites offer hundreds of novels -- classics, best sellers and some works written especially for the medium.

I unfortunately made the misguided move of inviting random people I don't care about into my online environment. I spent about 10,000,000 hours preparing this environment to be how I wanted it for me and my peeps and then everyone else got mixed in and now its all censored and boring. After years of being honest and being me I am now reduced to a series of update notifications and electro blurbs. I have decided that if I have to be so boring that I would rather spend my time writing a robot that will write my journal for me. So I may just do that. You probably won't even notice a difference.

I am sorry for those of you that feel the same way. I figured this would happen when Dr. Halavis said as it moves to about 200 people that it would be become less cohesive but I pushed the envelope and now everything is bad.

I have a couple options. One, finish my thesis and walk away from this project to pursue other stuff. Two, make this site a private one for member view only and have some sort of rigorous membership requirement. Three, move away. Four, move away. Five move away. Six, move away. Seven, move away. Eight, move away. Nine, move away. Ten, move away.
