On Friday, I successfully defended my PhD thesis at Columbia University. Oh yeah.

Japan Girls Night US Tour

This is the second time I've gone to Benten's Japan Girls Night tour in New York. Lots of fun. Puppy Pet, TsuShiMaMiRe, Titan Go King's, Gaijin a go-go, and Petty Booka.

Treo 600 as a modem in linux (Fedora Core 2)

I haven't had much interesting to talk about lately, but I did today get my Treo 600 phone working as a modem on my linux Fedora Core 2 install. If you are interested, check out the amazingly simple things I had to do to get my Treo 600 working as a modem on my Fedora Core 2 linux install.

Asobi Seksu

Asobi Seksu played at Lounge 13 on Thursday, and I went to check them out. I really, really recommend them. Their CD should be out soonish in NY area stores, but at least hit their website, check out their MP3s, and then go see them play.

We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory

We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory. How cool is that?

Say Hi To Your Mom

Caught Say Hi To Your Mom at the Mercury Lounge. It was a great show. They are a great band. Had dinner at Waikiki Wally's (a really kitschy Tiki place, sister restaurant to Lucky Cheng's) before that. Really cute ambiance, and surprisingly good food.

Macy's Flower Show

Six years in the city, and this is the first time I've ever been to the annual Macy's Flower Show. Pretty amazing actually.

Rock 'n Rollerskate

2004/04/04 Rockin' Roller Skate at OfficeOps in Brooklyn was just a blast. Take 4 bands, put them in a cage, give the audience roller skates, add beer and stir. Of course, since Bishop Allen was one of the bands, I thought I should lace up some skates and head out there.

FuguTabetai.com cookbook

I cook sometimes, so I threw up a cookbook that I wrote for my friends and family. Mostly family, since I bought most of them rice cookers.

2004 Japan Girls SAMURAI US tour

I went to check out the Japanese Girls SAMURAI US tour when it came to New York, and had a great time. 4 Japanese girl bands ranging from "the new breed of Japanese noise" to a "Ukulele playing duo". I really, really liked Petty Booka, a country hawaiian ukelele pop duo. They sounded just beautiful, and were funny to boot. Check them out. I also like Noodles a lot. No pictures though (didn't have a camera with me.)

Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists

Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists show at Lit. Totally rocked.

Wussy and Imposter Syndrome

I went down to Arlene's Grocery to check out Wussy (read about them in Japion) and also enjoyed Impostor Syndrome. Took a few pictures.

LogTracker update

Updated LogTracker with a view of URIs that have been recently accessed.

Bishop Allen in Philly

I went down to Philly to see Bishop Allen on the start of their Support the Thunder tour. Bishop Allen are totally awesome - you must go and see them when they play near you. It is a moral imperative.
