Unreal...I was trolling the Net and found this little vid...yes, that's me! Thanks Yusheng (who visited me in Seoul)--you da man!

This morning I read about a Title Scorer. I put in Hometown: Yeouido and got a paultry 35.9% chance of a book of this name being a bestseller. Island of Fantasy, however, got a 69% score...damn!
Very cool. Just read this in the Wall Street Journal. Now you can check how tardy, canceled or diverted your chosen flight might be. FlightStats noted that my little jaunt from Vancouver to Seoul (which I took like 20 times without incident) was, as I found, never cancelled and hardly delayed, ever. Good place for stats.
Yesterday my wife was wondering why I cranked the heat up the night before. I hadn't the foggiest idea what she was talking about. Then we saw Winston doing this:A-ha! So that's why we were like a Thanksgiving turkey in the oven! Time to baby-proof this place.
I guess I have myself to blame. I mentioned to my wife that my back was a little stiff (probably from sleeping so much on account of my cold) and she told her mom and dad...who then made an appointment at a Korean doctor to treat me. I was told it would be a massage (which is fine, in my books) but it was something a lot more.
Here are a few pics sent to me from a bud in Seoul. I remember this thing (the canal) when it was under construction. (UPDATE: Here is a cool posting of the whole process.) Would love to go there and see it finished. As the sign says, there was a stream here before the city paved over it...but now Seoul is going a little retro/nature (read: they want to get land values up) so they exposed it again. Might make living in the downtown core fashionable...and we know what that means: incredible fad leading to irrational exuberance. Stay tuned!
