  Elvis is dead; long live Elvis

Some people celebrated the King's life/death their own way; depending on where you are, it's either a non-issue, an annoyance, or a mythical, religious experience. In honor, I'm going to dig out a bit of Presley-related trivia out of lawsuit-dodging obscurity and put it back in the sunlight....... [view]

  Liberty in North Korea

Without mincing words, it is clear to say that North Korea is a country at war with its own people. This Orwellian, repressive state has for sixty-plus years been a stain upon the 'civilized' world.

After years of wanting to climb a mountain, I finally did today. Although I’ve climbed up the summit and down the crater lake of Taal Volcano in 1998, I consider this my first real climb.

  The NOLA Way of Life, and what we can learn from it...

Excerpted from the 6.1.07 entry into the New Yorker's New Orleans Journal . It really is a well-written piece, and one that I totally agree with. Take a minute and read this, I strongly encourage you, and think about it. “Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?” an old song...... [view]

  Transit in Kuala Lumpur

I was able to get those "free" AirAsia tickets a few months back so I'm on the backpack trail again. As always, I have to transit in Kuala Lumpur. So from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Low Cost Carrier Terminal (KLIA-LCCT), I took the SkyBus to KL Sentral for RM9. The airport is...... [view]
