happy earth day

earth day

while i don’t really give a shit about most of its inhabitants, i do care a great deal about our beloved mother earth. you know it’s amazing how peeps who try to cure the earth always fucking disappear into oblivion, but regardless i think we should all fight to clean up our precious dying earth and make it green again.

so recycle your cans, switch to biofuel, kill an evil ceo, ban styrofoams, or just plant a tree.  either way whatever it is that you do, happy earth day!  :)

free wifi in kuta

while we have this 3g mobile internet for our temporary dis-office-ment we often find it very unreliable. one minute we can download at 30kBps another minute we can barely browse at 20kbps (notice the different b’s). besides living in bali means you probably wouldn’t want to stay in too much, you want to be out there in the sun, on the beach, or at any of the various cafes and restaurants out there. so we set out on a wifi hunt, me driving and vie having her laptop on her lap scanning wifi signals along the aisles of kuta.

we found quite a few, but taking speed, value, atmosphere, view, ambience, etc. into consideration, the big winner is the kuta food court. it’s right off the beach just next to minimart and if you come around 5pm and stay a while you can sip a nice drink watching the sunset between the trees. it would be a lot nicer if the food court was wider than long so there’s more view, but it’s almost always empty anyway (low season maybe?) so you can just pick a table closer to the road (which makes you closer to the beach as well) if you want to catch the sunset. drinks are fairly cheap and food is good, and the open air setting makes it all just perfect, but most importantly wifi is free and it’s decent fast (not saying a lot for bali but oh well).

apocalyptic monstrosity

a man in russia knows something we don’t about the coming apocalypse. he built this massive dragon tank truck covered with pieces and pieces of black metal armor. the truck looks like it’s fully functional and ready for war.
