[memetic drift]: "Jenga"
http://kdobson.blogspot.com/2006/11/jenga.html
星期二, 11月 07, 2006. My housemates and I (well maybe not Bahareh) have turned procrastinating doing the recycling into a fun game. You're allowed to take any recyclable container and stack it on the windowsill above the kitchen sink. If you should cause part of the structure to fall down, you're responsible for taking that part out. The same holds true if you stack poorly and pieces tumble by themselves. So far, it works pretty good. At least, a lot better than 維斯基 on a Monday night. Tofino - one year later.

[memetic drift]: You won't read this on Xinhuanet
http://kdobson.blogspot.com/2007/07/you-wont-read-this-on-xinhuanet.html
星期五, 7月 20, 2007. You won't read this on Xinhuanet. I am really happy to be out from under the 'Great Firewall' of China. I put that in quotes because it's possible to circumvent the wall, and it doesn't block everything sensitive or everything that it's designed to prevent, regardless of using proxies or not. Anyway, I was reading wikinews and started across this story. Posted by K at 9:56:00 上午. LQTM - the new LOL. Another Xinhua news gem. Tofino - one year later. The Nigerians are at it again.

星期三, 4月 27, 2005. Speaking of media I put a bunch of Chinese songs on my iPod. Also, I got an audiobook called "Free Culture." It's pretty interesting and I like the listening to someone else read while I rest my eyes. Too much ambient noise can irk me though. Posted by K at 7:13:00 上午. 星期六, 4月 23, 2005. Why this post has lots of pictures. On a darker note, if you like pictures you can also click here. Also, you might check out the (only remotely related) Best Page in the Universe. There was apparently a...

[memetic drift]: Just Randomly
http://kdobson.blogspot.com/2007/06/just-randomly.html
星期日, 6月 10, 2007. XI'AN, June 10 (Xinhua) - Archaeologists have unearthed four colored tomb figures in a tomb in northwest China's Shaanxi Province dating back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-221 BC). The four colored wooden tomb figures, about 80 centimeters tall, are believed to be at least 500 years older than that of the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC), said Yin Shenping, a researcher with the provincial archeological institute. For that one; when it's not the mouthpiece ...

星期一, 3月 28, 2005. No one's gonna stop my flow, yeah". Once again, links adjusted. To reflect my current reading habits. if only Foo would post more. Fun link of the day.

[memetic drift]: Tofino - one year later
http://kdobson.blogspot.com/2006/08/tofino-one-year-later.html
星期三, 8月 30, 2006. Tofino - one year later. Went to Tofino the other day to visit Meagan, and it was. Brad, Cam and Dave came along for the ride. Parts of the highway between Port Alberni and Tofino were remarkably shitty. I had a really sweet jam session too. Anyway, this summer I got a job at Zellers, then quit and worked at Sears. Brad did pretty much the same thing. I am moving to Victoria. This means those of you who owe me money don't have long to pay up. You know who you are!

[memetic drift]: Another Xinhua news gem

星期日, 5月 20, 2007. Another Xinhua news gem. China to become 3rd biggest travel destination. BEIJING, May 20 - China is likely to replace the United States as the world's third most popular tourism destination next year, a United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) official said. At present, China ranks fourth, after France, Spain and the United States.

[memetic drift]: LQTM - the new LOL
http://kdobson.blogspot.com/2007/06/lqtm-new-lol.html
星期日, 6月 24, 2007. LQTM - the new LOL. When you type 'lol', are you really laughing out loud? Or are you smiling, and perhaps chuckling to yourself? I definitely take the lateral approach usually, so, here's to LQTM - laughing quietly to myself. :p. On a completely related topic, I was reading Xinhua news again today, and had such a moment: check this. I may be a big silly, but there are at least a billion other sillies out there of a similar magnitude. Posted by K at 8:09:00 上午. Another Xinhua news gem.
