Small but important note: Check out SKYPE. If you have a microphone on your computer you can use it to speak with other people on Skype for free. It is quite different from MSN and works more like a personal phone service. It is super. You can also make really cheap call sout to phone lines. Read to the bottom to find out why I’m pushing this!
I finally understand what’s happening! People don’t care about the text… they only care about the pictures…!
What’chu talking about?
OK, here is what I have noticed. If I post once every week or so, and include a neat picture or some sort of graphic I found on the web: it’s all good. However, if I post fairly regularily only using text and no pretty pictures, I get an angry e-mail from our 2 (maybe 3?) regular visitors.
This leads me to believe that it’s all about the pictures.
Aren’t they cute? There name is Mii. Or one of them is Mii… I don’t really know. But suffice it to say it makes my title for this entry very clever. I gave a medium sized one to my sister Tracy for Christmas. They are super cool tiny-bean pillows. They are super, soft, smooth and addicting. I have seen a few of them pop up in Canada, but these, by far, are the cutest. Kiko really wants to get one for herself.
Now that I have your attention:
What the hell is happening with the site?
Kiko and I are both really involved with the site, and both really want to keep it updated regularily, and more importantly, have you guys visit regularily. Unfortunately, Kiko broke my computer. (hahahah… I am only sort of joking.) So when I get my computer fixed, expect the following:
New and Improved entries such as:
– Kiko’s New Bread Machine and First Bread Pictures
– Pictures from Canada – family, friends, Christmas –
– Pictures from our new house!
That’s right! We are moving. It will be to a super-fabulous place that unfortunately has a shitty ass Internet connection. There is a large possibility that our 416 phone will be out of commission but we will keep you in the know.
Also expect to see the long-promised davidandkiko.com 3.0 which will be rolled out before I move.
– New and pretty colours.
– More neat stuff and animation.
– More organized menus and pictures.
– Other cool stuff which I haven’t thought of yet.
– A where is Kiko game… (when I become less lazy.)
– Actually, Elizabeth, please program a whereiskiko game with her picture dancing around. Please & thank you.
OK… that’s it for now. My computer is almost fixed so when I get photoshop back on, expect to see a ton of pictures.
David & Kiko: out. (that’s my new cool sig.)
Oh yeah I completely forgot! OK you got it. next up, convenience stores!
Dave- I like your big posts. Can you take more pictures please? Of convenience stores?
That sounds like a great idea! Tell me where you end up staying… Good luck with apartment hunting. We are moving too, and you have to come stay a few days when you can find the time!
Big wing was always temporary. I need a real place, a bathrooom. The place is in a dead neighborhood, I want a desk. Plus a friend wants me to apartment sit his place at Takadanobaba for 20 days, and I will use that to kick me in the ass for getting a place.
Alrighty, you got me to post a comment.
But what to say? Work is work. But my bank won’t let me withdraw money, and immigration is making me run the most confusing obsticle course I know of, and I guess I am moving in a month. No more Big Wing 21. But come March 1st, I do not know where I will be. Maiko said it rightly as I had cocoa in a Ginza cafe last night; a sigh. Tired. Shoudl rest my head on a nice squishy pillow.
On a good note, it seems that I may beome the resident classical music writer at the Yomiuri. And architecture, a book or two, movies, and I am now known as the “Shinkansen otaku,” but no writing yet. Unless you count the teaser on the left side of the front page three days ago. “Baghdad cafes overflow with spirited debate as concern and optimism brew in the run-up to the country’s parliamentary election in two weeks. Page 7.” Yeah, I made that.
Bri, thats amazing! Give me some heads up on these things so I can go grab a copy… (why the move by the way?)
