And when I say I like a rap song, you’ll have to listen to it. It’s “Handlebars” by Flobots:

Everyone must have been impressed when Apple launched Mac OS X Leopard, which features Time Machine, an automated backup system. The catch is, you’ll have to have an external drive to use Time Machine, and there are also people (like me) who can’t afford to get Leopard (yet).

After the recent drama about the elderly trishaw rider being bullied by angmohs, here’s yet another episode involving an angmoh in Singapore:
“Angmoh hits 2 Singaporean girls”: Part 1 and Part 2
Man, the uncles in the video are really rad.
Read the (victim) girl’s account on her blog.
Interesting video. Contention: Are parents making it unnecessarily hard for young people to get married? I have been pondering on this issue for quite a while.

When I first read about the soldier who managed to bring a SAR21 to Orchard Road, I thought, “Cool.” I mean, how often do we get news as interesting as that? So much for all the expensive advertisements boasting of a skilled and disciplined fighting force; even a whole rifle can be brought out of [...]
From “Responsibility and War Guilt: A Culture-Setting Intelligentsia”, Noam Chomsky interviewed by Gabriel Matthew Schivone:
