Now you can't send mail to the states either. Thai Post, DHL join others in stopping service.

Follow-up to premiere of 'Alien: Earth' is the No. 2 most popular torrent on Pirate Bay behind Supermans 2025, cresting almost 6,000 seeders.

Thailand apparently has emergency alerts now, a month after Myanmar earthquake.

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

How sweet, fresh meat. Nearing the end of a 5-month renovation of my newest project, and it's time for the fun to begin.

At Thai immigration, Pac-Man vomits useful information

On Quakebelly. Unlike LA quakes, which end just as you realize what they are, today's #Bangkok quake went on for an interminable time. I shrugged it off until a sick feeling came on, and I realized the ground was still moving. For at least 5 to 6 very disturbing minutes.

A bit about Pasadena. At the Pasadena Star-News around 2004, I named my blog for the paper "Pasadena, Center of the Universe," which was a running inside joke at City Hall for the Rose City's perceived importance.

Just left Pasadena after a quick unscheduled visit home. Major fires across LA area fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds.

I understand well the inhumanity of US health care but still thought hospitals applied ded. reasoning & investigation to remedy illness. Past 3 days at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena have dispelled that assumption.

A little too aroused by my intimate view of the B-2's belly to roll tape sooner. #RoseBowl

You're never too old to learn new keyboard shortcuts.

Stairwells smell amazing. Like baked bread. Is that the asbestos?

How it started vs. how it's going. Or, #Bangkok city planning process, illustrated. Totally shut down my already long-traffic-suffering soi.

I believe it's necessary to remain engaged, but would like to do so with fewer racists and billionaire bootlicker, so here I am.
