Be Still My Bleeding Eyes


and then he ate the little statue


I was driving somewhat aimlessly when this behemoth assaulted my eyes. My first reaction was sheer terror. I thought it was a fucking dinosaur or something. Then I realized it was a giant cutout of Mahinda Rajapakse and was even more freaked out. He’s standing there pointing at the Chinese Performing Arts Centre like, ‘look what I got’. I am somewhat inured to Mahinda’s marketing by now, but this three story cutout is HURTING MY BRAIN. I blubbered for a while but it looks like it’ll be there for a while. I hope it rains all week.

[...] Giant man can presumably spot giant tsunami, and SMS everyone with his giant phone. Everybody knew about the recent Sumatran earthquake because we felt it. Everybody knew about the (mercifully unrealized) tsunami warning because word got around. On the warning, issue, however, the government wasn’t very helpful or authoritative. I got what I considered official info from the US Geological Survey and international bodies and got the most up to date info over Facebook and Twitter. Which is fine, I guess, but the government should sorta have its shit together on this one. If only because the solution is really so simple. [...]

New New Kottu (4)

Saj: This looks cool. Without knowing about the upgrade i was accessing kottu from my phone.. Yea it looks like an app. Why dont u think about creating an app? :)

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.
