I was doing some investing the other day, because that's apparently what business majors do, and I ran across this interesting stock tracking website called Stockalicious .

So if you were looking for a way to track your stock investments and also wanted to put a widget showing your mad stock profits then check them out.

My laptop battery is not part of the Dell recall. I imagine if it had been my apartment would have burned down long ago since I've been too lazy to check it until now. (Even though I knew I had a laptop that fit the criteria this whole time.)

So the Disney post below this one never got properly posted. Oops.

I'm trying to get better about pictures. I'll probably move everything to Flickr soon so that I can make some picutres private without making it a royal pain in the butt. If anyone has any ingenous ideas about how to solve this let me know. I need a way to post pictures of my friends without the entire world being able to cyber-stalk us.

The weather is already turning amazing. As a Texan I can safely say that Tokyo summers are way over-rated. On the other hand Osaka was killing me. It's probably only because I lived in LA for so long.

Like many people there are certain things I fancy doing before my time here is up. Some of them are big huge things and others are just small little quirky things.

Last week I accomplished one of those things.

I had a buisness trip in New York last week and ended up flying Jet Blue. For those of you that aren't bi-coastal Jet Blue is a coach only air carrier, but they have DirecTV for each and every seat.

As me and a few coworkers were waiting for our flight we had a discussion about in flight movies and my part went something like this:

"Why don't they ever show a good in flight movie during a flight? Something like Final Destination."

Now of course I said that because there's a huge dramatic scene at the beginning of the film involving a 747 exploading upon take-off. Even better due to the plot of the flim you sort of get to enjoy this experience twice.

It might sound strange to want to watch a horror movie with an air disaster while flying, but that's just how I am. Thankfully the Sci-fi channel granted me my wish that very day. I got to watch Final Destination while in the air.

I also enjoyed a few documentaries including the Concord crash, the Aloha Airlines Flight 243 disaster, and a documentary that covered the missing Navy Flight 19.

Just remember: Flying is a lot safer than dropping the hammer.
