Al-Qaeda warns Canada

Published by Rich Pav under General

"An al-Qaeda strategist has warned Canada to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan or face terrorist attacks similar to 9/11, Madrid and the London transit bombings."

I wonder if this will prompt the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo to upgrade their security from the one or two rent-a-cops who bow to you as you breeze through the entrance. It's quite a contrast to the fortress mentality of the US Embassy.

A Random Update

Published by Rich Pav under General

I have a sinus infection. It's like having Ebola in your nose, cavities in all the top molars of one side of your mouth, while someone squeezes your head in a vice. This too shall pass. By next week I will have forgotten all about it.

Thought your website was finally immune to all the quirks of the various browsers? Think again. Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0 were recently released, dammit. I recommend trying out Firefox Portable 2.0 Release Candidate 3 before abandoning version 1.5.7 for good–just in case one of the extensions you can't live without isn't compatible with 2.0 yet.

In my blog's sidebar I updated the podcasts and videocasts I watch and listen to faithfully. I'm also subscribe to other feeds, but these are the ones I'd highly recommend. The "Other Gaijin Podcasters" category, however, is for courtesy. No offense, but aside from Trans-Pacific Radio, I don't listen to gaijin shows, including my own.

If Obama runs for president…

Published by Rich Pav under General

I will definitely do more than just vote for him. Whatever he needs people in Japan to do to get out the vote, I'll help.

Check out his podcast.

Chinese Soldiers Shooting Tibetan Pilgrims (Video)

Published by Rich Pav under General

Shot like stray dogs. The really sad thing is, from the glass house the US has built for itself over the past five years, we're in no position to criticize China or affect their policies regarding Tibet.

BoingBoing.net reports that one of the people shot was a nun. SaveTibet.org goes into more detail. Her name was Kelsang Namtso, and she was only 17 years old.
