In my inbox this morning I found a message with the subject line “New News From DHL”. The message started with the following paragraph, which I am copying & pasting without alteration:

Good News!
DHL announced the restructuring plans for its U.S. network. This restructuring addresses changing market conditions as well as positions DHL well for future [...]

Yes, it’s time for another new product from Audio Damage. This one is called Kombinat; it’s a toolbox of filtering and distortion effects designed for everything from subtle overload effects to complete sonic destruction, although it definitely leans toward the latter. If ever a product lived up to the company name, it’s this one.

Kombinat is [...]

A barren landing site is exactly what they were looking for, since it’s far easier to land on smooth ground than on a bunch of rocks. Phoenix landed successfully yesterday. We watched the live coverage of the landing on NASA TV’s web feed. It’s always fun to watch these big NASA events; we get quite [...]

NASA is landing a probe on Mars today. It’s going to dig samples out of the northern polar ice and soil and analyze them with onboard instruments. The website is here; NASA TV should have live coverage starting later today.

As I mentioned two posts ago, I’ve run out of steam for writing about the Japan trip. Blogging about traveling in a foreign country ultimately seems a futile exercise because so much happens and there are only so many hours in the day in which to write (and so much energy with which to write). [...]

I’ve finished uploading photos from our trip to the Photo Gallery section of this website. The photos are grouped by the cities we visited. We didn’t put captions on them; if you have any questions you can either email me or Tracie or post a comment here.

It’s probably obvious by now that my attention has been drawn away from this blog. Much to my surprise we’ve been home for two weeks now; honestly it feels more like a week. Between the various demands of getting back into the swing with both businesses and with the unusual circumstances of Tracie’s mother residing [...]

As I mentioned previously, I foolishly did not bring my camera to the dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Makino. Sid had his camera, though, and sent me a few pictures that he took (and that other people took with his camera). A taxi driver took this one:

The waitress took the last one, as you might [...]

Sorry for the lapse in posting. As you can imagine, I’ve been busy with getting out of vacation mode and back into normal daily living/working/etc. mode. Of course this transition is complicated by Tracie’s mother’s hospitalization, but we’re making do.
I wasn’t able to post photos until we reached Kyoto. Here are photos from our day [...]

My computer says that it’s 8:19AM on Monday, a fact which I’m trying to accept at face value. In truth, my jetlag seems to be dissipating. I’m still waking up about two hours earlier than usual but I no longer feel nearly as temporally dislocated as I did two days ago.
While staring at the ceiling [...]
