A touching and incredible story about how a U.S. soldier found a photo and drawing from the pocket of a deceased Japanese soldier, and, 50 something years later, returned them to the soldier’s family.
We went out after lunch today and saw an incredibly long line out of 89 Degrees Celsius (a cafe chain in Taiwan). What for? Apparently there was a promotion going on: ice coffee for $1 NT (which is about 3 cents in U.S. Dollars). We noticed a lot of people leaving with not only the nearly free coffee, but also with a full-priced pastry or two.
AFS is one of Iridesco’s earliest clients, and one of the best things the came out of working with them is our friendship with Norm. Last week, Norm left to study for an MBA in Amsterdam, and I stopped by the office to say goodbye. I have not been to AFS since we stopped taking on consulting projects and this will probably be my last visit for a long time.
“ A touch of vin triste today as we realize that the final mouse in the control group has passed on. Louis tore the little fellow’s head off in a paranoid rage. Thirty-five bottles of red followed by crystal meth seems to have diminishing returns. Or so says the rabbit.
Mouse au Vin by Noah Baumback (who directed The Squid and The Whale, in which, Miles of Lost plays a school counselor of some sort).
This is not a good video, but the only one I can find.
We rented Tropic Thunder off of iTunes last night, and it was vulgar, politically incorrect, and bleeping hilarious. It would’ve taken me awhile to realize it, had I not heard about it everywhere - Tom Cruise had a small, surprising role in TT and he played it up. I didn’t know Mr. Cruise had it in him, and I couldn’t have imagined him dancing like that.
$3.99 to rent on iTunes, it was worth the money, and time.
