These guys vastly outnumber me. Help.

This is a can of Dr. Pepper. Yes, she has a bottle of Dr. Pepper between her breasts.

This is the mild one.

I’m not entirely sure of the details, but a man went on a stabbing spree in the Akihabara district in Tokyo today. Today was a sunny Sunday so there were many, many people on the street. He apparently drove a car down the street where people were walking and ran a few people over before jumping out. Once out of his car, he started slashing indiscriminately with a knife. So far 7 are dead with 18 people total stabbed.

Here’s a link to the BBC article.

There’s a link on Boing Boing to some awesome fashion from the Harajuku district in Tokyo. These people officially gather every weekend, but it’s not uncommon to see toned down versions on the streets pretty much every day. From the few times I’ve seen these people, I’ve gathered that they really enjoy cameras. I guess if I spent as much time and money on a costume as they do I’d probably want to show off too.

Here’s a link to the gallery.

I got vertigo looking at the wallpaper.

Here I am. This place is very nice.

Today I had an interview with a headhunter in Tokyo.  They have a position they’re submitting me for.  It looks like a great fit.  The only issue is that it’s a lead position and I’m not sure I’m up for that task.  Maybe they will accept my Microsoft experience as adequate for managing people.

The company is quite small which is something I’ve been really looking for.  Also, their product is an embedded device.  Since working on the Windows Mobile team, I have developed serious gadget lust so I’m pretty stoked.  We’ll see how this all turns out.  I don’t have any expectations, but it would be cool to live in Japan for a while.

This is my cousin’s lizard.

They’re livin’, man!
