Secret Asian Man

Today is the last daily strip of Secret Asian Man, a cool comic by Tak Toyoshima. It will, apparently, live on as a weekly strip at the Secret Asian Man Web site.

Secret Asian Man

In addition to this being a cool comic, the name “Secret Asian Man” also evokes fond memories. When my children were younger and heard the song “Secret Agent Man” sung by Johnny Rivers, they would heartily sing out the words as “Secret Asian Man”. When I hear the song today, I still substitute those words. I suspect they do, too!

Now is the time I could use a Kindle…

Blokus

Friday, November 28th, 2008

This holiday, we were introduced to a game called Blokus. It’s a great game for spatial thinkers, as it involves placing tiles on the board, while trying to maximize the size and number of tiles that you play while minimizing the size and number of tiles that your opponents are able to play.

I’ve only played it a few times (and then against experienced competition). This morning was my first time to play all of my tiles.

I was yellow, Lu was green, Dani was blue, and the red was played by three of us.

If you enjoy spacial cames, give Blokus a try!

Where’s Jeff Tonight?

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Here’s your clues:

  1. I’m on my way to Dillard, Georgia.
  2. I drove approximately 525 miles.
  3. Most of the drive was on Interstate highways.
  4. Lunch was at Subway, and dinner was a KenTex BBQ, though I could have easily stopped at Cracker Barrel.

Extra credit will be awarded if you identify both the city and the hotel.

(Spoiler: the answer is revealed in the comments.)
