Here you see an industrially made rainbow.


Here you see an industrially made rainbow. Still far from being perfect and also the first time I saw this, so it probably is a prototype rather than mass production.

OK, seriously: This looked way better in real, but was indeed limited to that small space, so I guess the steam caused some refraction. Hint: In case you don't see the rainbow, it's above Chirpy, chirpy, cheep, cheep.

This is absolutely lovely!

Waiting for the (ghost first) train


Waiting for the (ghost first) train

This is the main train station in Taibei, underground at the MRT level. Platform access is granted at 0540, the first train comes a few minutes after that and leaves a couple of minutes later. After that it's business as usual. Today it is quite a bit crowded.

Brace yourselves, another spam wave is coming!

Brace yourselves, another spam wave is coming!

During the last 12 hours I've been circled by more than 20(!) women, all apparently of Asian origin, all with photos, but the few I checked had either no posts at all or just spam - and they all had 20something "followers".

Spam hitting in ten, nine, eight...

What a pity: Today Kudo Shinichi added me to his circles. But instead of the skateboarding highschool detective it looked more like a Vietnamese in Japan, spreading spam.

Sigh...

Hey Onion,

Restrictions and Workarounds

Restrictions and Workarounds

You may perhaps remember the letter Taylor Swift wrote to Apple, asking them to not be so strict about their rules towards musicians, and a few days later a photographer asking Taylor Swift not to be so strict about her rules towards photographers (like surrendering all your photos etc).

Apparently, Taylor Swift is not the only one with such drakonian rules, and a newspaper found an interesting workaround: Instead of sending a photographer to a concert, they sent a cartoonist...

Pizza trees!

Pizza trees!

I knew I did something wrong all those years! So all I need to do to get such a tree is plant a pizza in the ground? Hmm...

This is actually a bit more serious than it appears in the beginning, just watch to the end.

Aaaaaaarrrrggghhhhh!

Aaaaaaarrrrggghhhhh!

Look, I declined the invitations because I am not interested in your Auto Show community. I am not interested in your Car Show Girls community and not in any of the other communities for which you are flooding me with invitations.

You braindead spammers can create another two dozen fake accounts to flood me and others with further invitations, but I will still not be interested!

It's just bad that some of these spam communities have now accumulated something like 30k members (zombies?), so Google will probably not judge them to be simple spam.

Google+, could you guys perhaps limit the number of invitations that can be sent for a community within a certain time frame? I know this is difficult, because each invitation may have different targets, so this is hard to evaluate, but those people are really spoiling G+.

I know those accounts look relatively authentic now, but a girl with Vietnamese features and a very US-sounding name should be as suspicious as the opposite case. I don't mind rejecting two or three spam invitations per week, but recently someone opened the flood gates and now it is more like up to ten a day.

This is not funny.

Mission accomplished?


Mission accomplished?

This photo may not look much, but a month ago it would have been impossible. Here are Nimrod and Garfield, resting on the floor, only a few centimeters apart.

A little over a month ago on a Saturday morning, Nimrod was very agitated and shot out the door as soon as I opened the mosquito screen. I had barely time to guess what he was up to and press him to the ground just in time before he got to the cardboard box under which a cat mother had dropped three kittens.

Nimrod had always been a single pet, is pretty easily scared and tries to cover that fear up by pretending to be tough. He always disliked cats and would have attacked one at once if he didn't expect any harm for himself.

And there he is now, not necessarily the cats' best friend, but accepting them as housemates. OK, he is intimidating them a bit, sniffing their butts every once in a while, but just being curious, not hostile.

Some time ago, when I told people I was thinking about getting a cat, they all said that would be impossible with a dog like Nimrod. Well, I think they may have been a little bit wrong...

Remember when in "Labyrinth" the girl almost took the shortcut to the castle? (At least the caterpillar said so.) Well, a lot of Disney films could have been over rather quickly, if only something had been slightly different. If Ariel had been able to write for example...
