Since the election I've wanted to see the news headlines, only do it in a way that I don't have to constantly look at pictures of the president (usually with his mouth open) A text only browser works well for this, only don't try and use it with a search engine, I might be a bot!

The thing you have to understand about Japanese culture is that it is considered extremely dishonorable to siphon millions of dollars from your employer and spend it on BetMGM.

I've been watching this story. At first knowing nothing about it I wondered what in the world he did that was so bad. This is EXTREMELY bad in Japanese culture. While they may work salarymen to death there, etc.. there is a huge responsibility with being a higher up in a company. A big example of this is when say Nintendo or Toyota loses a lot of money based on a corporate decision. Instead of them "restructuring the company", firing people to cut costs, etc.. they do perhaps a bit of that but mainly the CEO is forced to give up a large portion of his salary so the people under them keep their jobs.

To just gamble away company profits is extremely dishonorable.

The BBC posted a link to a YouTube randomizer. I quickly bookmarked it and it's soon to be one of my favorite sites. There's no algorithms, just random videos. Granted, most of them are mundane and not in English ( that poses no problem for me) but it shows a normal cross section of what YouTube really is.


Link, almost forgot...

I'm in the computer room, lying under the desk, rearranging some of the wires.

From the kitchen my wife calls to me, "Are you done with this?"

"Yep!" I reply.

I have no idea what she is talking about. I continue to untangle wires.

One of the priceless moments of being married 30 years.

Officials seal doors of Pope Francis’s personal residence
Senior cardinals have locked and sealed the doors of Pope Francis’s personal residence in the Apostolic Palace following his death on Monday.
The entire religion is based upon the belief that doing shit like that is not effective
