The aftermath of traveling…
I don’t mind traveling as much as I used to. What I do mind however, is the aftermath of traveling and coming back to tons of snail-mail (mostly bills and junk mail at that), a cold apartment, dirty laundry, multiple voicemails, drooping or nearly dying plants since no one was there to water them and all kinds of things at work and home to play catch up with.
So I guess I’m busy trying to get caught up… but here’s some fun new stuff for you. Highly recommend reading the article about Typhoon — a restaurant I ate at while on my trip out…
New in Thought — caught in the act!* on Monday, October 29, 2001
Searching for the end…. — “As each of us grow up we get exposed to what I can only describe as sturctured competition — competition where the metrics of success or failure are clearly measurable”
Things people do to earn a living… — “…the one good thing about the gullibility and the stupidity of the people is that it makes for a fairly easy profession that almost anyone can take up as long as they can spin a incredulous tale!”

Partying, LA style… — “But in my book the award for the best costume goes to Superwoman and her sidekick the Superdog (or Superbitch?) both of whom were adorned in their appropriate costume. Superdog of course was an 8 month old german-shepherd mix — Maya”
Wolfgang Puck’s Cafe and Typhoon — “…the Spicy Chicken Pizza that I ordered was actually really good. So everything was going really well, except as it always happens, I got a small piece of bone in my chicken 
” and “My friend actually ordered (and ate for that matter!) Frogs Legs! They also had a whole section on the menu titled “Insects” — yup that’s exactly what I was looking for.”
GPS is a good thing! — “in *every* case – all I did was punch in my destination without thinking… the Magellan GPS system did the rest. Finding restaurants, hotels and pretty much any services… all a breeze. GPS truly rocks. A huge thumbs up!”

“No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questiosn investigated…” — Are you listening Mr. bin Laden?? You would think this was something said in the wake of the recent events, but the words above were instead the closing remarks of a lecture by Richard P. Feynman at the University of Washington (Seattle) in April, 1963. I couldn’t agree more!
“I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is value” — Richard P. Feynman in The Meaning of it All on the question of the value of science.
