Summer festival (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

Tylor and I spent a large portion of the day at the Mitsuwa summer festival. They had lot’s of food and games. These Japanese festivals always have games that involve fishing things out of water with tissue paper. You have to be quick before the paper disolves to win. Tylor got a Bokenja green o men mask and won a goldfish (which already died) and a Kamen rider toy. Pictures are up.

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen way too much TV Japan, but Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t know what to say, it hit’s the absurd delightfulness of the most insane kawaii otakus wet dream and goes past that. Thanks to Wil for spreading the word.

Peace, Janae!

SATA USB reader (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

This is one of the craziest things I’ve seen. Basically it’s a USB card reader, that also accepts naked SATA drives.

Not to mention, it’s freaky as hell looking.

Upgrade (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

Ok, I’ve upgraded wordpress to 2.5, looks like the only thing that broke is that the needed update of WPG2 blew away the wrapper styles for gallery. So for now things are going to be ugly over in that corner.

Down at the shore (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

A few weeks ago we went to Wildwoods, NJ for vacation and on our way back stopped at Adventure Aquarium (note, do NOT stop in Camden )

All the pics are here.

More pictures from our Florida trip (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

I’ve uploaded more pictures from our trip to Orlando. These cover the condo, the Magic Kingdom and Universal.

There are private pictures in this set, so be sure to log in to see everything.

Coaster madness (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

Tylors first roller coaster was The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm.

These pictures were actually from his second trip, I stuck the camera down at my knees and tried to keep it pointed at him while I clicked away. He certainly loves roller coasters.

Complete set here.

Brrrr (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

We made it back home to freezing NJ last night.  Florida was great fun and the tornadoes didn’t really impact us (thankfully).  Tylor says his favorite part was the “Bear Concert“, but I think he liked the roller coasters too.  I’ll be putting up pictures tonight.

What happened? (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

Where did the my pictures go? Where did I go?

In short my ex-host (Leafyhost née Aetheri) was two kids who ran their server with a non-server drive, had no backup plan, and had no funds for data recovery. Read all the sordid details here.

I didn’t really loose anything since I had my data locally, but I would have to load them all into gallery again. It did, however, turn me rather blasé to this whole deal.

Whatever though, I’m slowly getting things uploaded again (this time to flickr) and I’ll keep you updated

LastReadPost (server edition) moving (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

In order to make it a bit easier to track what is going on with LastReadPost (server edition), I’m moving it over to google hosted projects.

Issue tracking, download management, version control… all those things that make keeping track of a project easier.

Tylor at the private baby pool (OsakaNYC (kitzke)) by matt

But sometimes, he just likes to chill with his friends at the inflatable wading pool in our driveway.
