You can't see the straps from this angle, but this is actually a real Totoro backpack - but a tiny one for puppets or plush animals. Found this in Taipei some time ago.

They only start to get sleepy as soon as they are sitting or lying on me, otherwise they are very much awake.

Due to multiple requests by a single warrior: Wrestling. Somehow. Cutified.

Unfortunately I didn't have my phone ready for the "real" wrestling. Plus, very often when they see my phone approaching, they will stop what they are doing and come to me instead.

Rainy season arrived here in the south of Taiwan last week.


Rainy season arrived here in the south of Taiwan last week. We were the last on the island to be reached by the rain. While this brings inconveniences (no nightmarket when it's raining), we really needed the water. So let's see how long this rainy season will last.

How is it on the Philippines, Grace Monte de Ramos? Still dry?

Right on this #caturday I found that some moms need to learn where to put their babies. When I left home this morning and opened the bug screen door, Nimrod stormed to my bike and was very excited. I was just in time to hold him down, because he had discovered this:

Under a cardboard box next to my bike were three little kittens. Next to my bike. In a household with a dog. Dear cat mom, was there really no better place?

I only hope their mom will take care of them. But I am open for suggestions for plan B...

The old double decker trams are still rolling across Hongkong Island.

The old double decker trams are still rolling across Hongkong Island. Some of them are new, but built to the old specifications. Taxis too haven't changed for a long time, but buses are quite modern now.

The trams still run without air conditioning, so the windows can be opened. When I took a tram in 1993, the fare was HKD2 for adults, now it is only HKD2.30. Compare that to your local transportation companies...

Our dragon has been fed and rested, so now we take him out and try to let him fly. For this we have selected a larger area without obstacles.

If I am not mistaken this should have been recorded in Nepal.

If I am not mistaken this should have been recorded in Nepal. Unfortunately Pogo has reposted all his videos without description and with comments disabled, so I can't be sure. But this is how the area looked like before the quake.

Don't try to make sense of what they say, Pogo always uses language as just another instrument. People have gone nuts trying to find meaningful phrases in his other videos.

Some music videos are very interesting for technical reasons. You may have seen the one or other OK Go video, or the Chemical Brothers. This one was filmed in just five seconds, but at 1000fps.

There are several reasons why I prefer Aloha when I travel per Freeway bus in Taiwan, a very important reason can be seen in the photo: To my knowledge it is the only bus line having a 110V socket at every seat.

And that is sooo convenient...

How to make diesel:

How to make diesel:

Heat water, add CO2, filter and refine.

OK, I may have skipped a tiny step or two, but basically that's how it works. We may have joked about this, but now it is indeed possible to make fuel for cars from water. Bonus point: It uses the same CO2 that is emitted from cars, so we finally have recycling here.

Sourdough, but doped with dry yeast. I tried a variation on the Amish starter Rob Bonewitz​ mentioned a while ago. The main difference: less honey.

Q: How can you tell how friendly a biker is?


Q: How can you tell how friendly a biker is?
A: From the number of flies on his teeth.

This is a very unfriendly biker, he may even be angry now.
Advice for more happiness: Avoid the time around 1630-1900 for biking. Or get a helmet with visor...

In #Ingress the best way to tell people "fxxx you all" is to destroy all portals >L5 and replace them with single-R8 portals.

OK, this too can be done more explicitly: Destroy all portals, not just >L5, and add a shield to your single R8.

This is a pretty sad trend that I've been watching for a while now. Around here a frog will occasionally do it, but mostly it's Blue Meanies. (No, I don't call those "smurfs".) And they all got one thing in common: They are all at least L10.

So, the people who already got millions of AP desperately need millions more. You know what I have not seen for a while? Someone starting to play actually going to L8. They don't. They give up quickly, and guess why?

I think Ingress is now mirroring what happens in our society...

Celebration!


Celebration! My biggest Totoro has two eyes again! My daughter had shown special interest into the right eye when she was younger, and I just never found a way to reinsert the eye - until now.

If you have a similar plush figure: Never let an eye come out, it's a pain to put it back.
