Anime fans...

A bunch of photos on anime fans' desks and rooms. (Oops, sorry, that was from 2007 Jan 28, a little old. The "popular character" has since changed.) My desk at work used to look like that but absolutely not at home.

One year later (2008 Jan 29), a 2008 Chinese Olympic pamphlet cover features a fake Haruhi Suzumiya and Ichi Kinda. Here is the original Chinese Amazon page selling the pamphlet, completed with a user comment that points out the fact. Here's the original this picture was copied from. Can't believe they didn't only copy a Japanese character to sell such an important international event, this design totally sucks. How could this be approved in the first place? Don't they have any pride for their country?

Yikes! Tomorrow is February! (Panic!) I must be getting old, as time feels like it's going too fast.

Exercise chair?

More like... weight lost by motion sickness... ("Hawaii Chair"??? Wouldn't "Hula Chair" make more sense?)

Computer art (non CG)

Interesting way to recycle old computers with art (literally).

And here's something to celebrate Lego's belated birthday (yesterday).

Lego Google?

What's with today's Lego Google logo? Usually clicking on it goes to Wiki or some explanations, but it's unclickable. Is it Lego's birthday or something?

Green Tea Kitkat

I think the "normal size" one I had a few years ago was green. This one's normal chocolate on the outside (and elongated.) The green tea is supposed to be inside but I can't really taste it. It's like the apple Kitkat, a bit artificial. And they're both under the same "deluxe" category. Adding a layer of flavoured filling inside the wafers is "deluxe"? I'll have to disagree. This might as well be the worst green tea flavour I've ever had.

Apple Kitkat

What the heck? It's disgusting! Doesn't smell or taste anywhere near apple! It's got that volatile cherry cough syrup feel. (Yes, cherry, not apple.) Too sweet, and has the "signature" dark chocolate bitterness. It's supposed to have a touch of cinnamon but I can't detect any. At least this one contains apple juice power unlike the 100% artificial chestnut. Aaaaw, and this is supposed to be "deluxe". Quite disappointed.

Typewriter... I mean, Dancewriter

← Type letters with the on-screen keyboard, and the man "performs" the letters. Too bad it's one letter at a time.
