Travellin’.
Looks like I’m heading back to Toronto on October 16th, ticket is all booked and everything. I’m looking forward to seeing… everyone. By that time I’ll be a married man, so no more games of grab-ass for me.

Tokyo Game Show 2004.
Chie and I went to the Tokyo Game Show today, it was awesome. Click the full entry link for all the pictures and my witty commentary.
Hmmm.
Everyone’s probably heard about Google working with The Mozilla Foundation to create a Google browser. This is more Moz-related Google activity:
http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.xul
It’s an XUL-based Google search, though the results are still HTML. It’s essentially an officially hosted component for the Mozilla (and probably Firefox) Google sidebars. Found on redemption in a blog. There’s also a now-hidden Bugzilla entry (that I can’t find the link to at the moment) where teams from both sides are coordinating on… well, whatever it is they’re building. Definitely interesting stuff.
Awesome GTA4 screenshots.
The latest Grand Theft Auto comes out soon, and Robin was nice enough to preorder it for me. So in my usual gaming anticipation fever, I found some awesome new screenshots:

Shopping day.
Among other things Chie and I had to do today, we both went shopping. There was a flea market not far from here at Shinjuku station, and I found these:
Yeah, that’s right; Final Fantasy II and III for the Super Famicom, only 1000 yen each. Bam! Chie won though:
She’s not had a computer of her own since a Mac way back in the day, so she “splurged” and bought a kick-ass NEC LaVie that resembles my system a lot. Damn it’s nice. I’m betting that she won’t be sleeping tonight. We’ve cleaned out all the bullshit that manufacturers throw in the default installation, and it’s a speedy little thing (especially with Firefox). A good choice I think.
Hahaha.
Chie just explained to me that the Japanese have two words for spinach: horen-sou or popai. Where do you think the second one came from?
Hakkone valley photos, first batch.
Lots of pictures now, lots more to come. Click the Full Entry link for more.
