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.

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!

I think there are days when we’d all want a grandpa like this: Neurotica Comic, July 9

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.

My first completed Blokus board

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!

We saw this today; what is it?

For extra credit, where is it?

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.
