http://www.alivenotdead.com/action_contest.html I'm excited to see who wins.  It should be fun no matter what.  I've gotten some help from my friend Junko to make the japanese version...

Secondly:

Today was a pretty hectic day.  I ran down to Hong Hom to look at an apartment near the station.  It turns out they've got one of the $9k 1 bedroom units available...  its a bit small and no view,  but the building is less than a year old and the location isn't bad.  I was talking my dad on skype and trying to explain the location so I made use of Google Maps awesome customizable map features:

My customized Map

this shows my current home and the new apartment i'm considering, as well as my current and future work locations.  so as you can see,  my job is moving to the island, so living up in the boonies is not a practical option anymore. :-P

ps - Jesskah: I wish there was a way to embed the map directly into a blog... is there?  there should be! (update: i found this site that says it can do it, but it doesn't seem to work here on AnD)
