New video of raccoons

I cleaned up my new video from the feeding this afternoon. I uploaded it to picasa but it does not seem to work. Might be a delay between the upload ad when picasa web will allow it to be watched. it is not small.

From Racoon Rescue

Raccoon Rescue

When I got home from work today my roommate surprised me by standing over the sink bottle feeding some strange animal. I thought she had gotten a new pet for her menagerie, but instead found out that she had rescued some orphaned baby raccoons found in the parking lot of her work. They don't know what happened to the mother so Lisa, being the animal humanitarian she is, brought them home to feed and care for until we can contact a wildlife rescue shelter.

I tried taking some pictures on my phone and a movie, pictures didn't turn out to bad, since the phone has a light, but it would not use it for the movie so it is very dark. I did the movie mostly to get the sounds that they were making. 

Moved it!

I have moved my blog to blogger since then I dont have to maintain the software. Also I can point DNS to it so it looks like part of my site. Pretty cool.

Things change, life goes on.

Well, haven't posted much, but I am not much of a talker. A lot of things have changed since I launched this site, I moved to a new house and got some new roommates, bought a Mac Book Pro, and now I am changing jobs from the job I had for nine years to a new one in a new city. If hell hasn't frozen over yet, the denizens must really appreciate the cold snap.

Hopefully my new job will have me burnt out less on web stuff so I can start building this site up more, and start dumping my ideas from my brain.

A new home

Well, I finally got something up on my new domain and got my hosting in place. This will eventually be an area for my thoughts and programming experiments. Occasionally I may have useful information up here as well.

Storming Himeji Castle

Today we went to Himeji, which is about 90km east of Osaka. We traveled there by the Special Rapid Service train which took us about 70 minutes one way. Once in Himeji we met up with Charlie, a work friend of Ari's, and he helped/guided us around Himeji Castle and the nearby Nishi-Oyashiki-Ato Garden ‘Kokoen’. I can tell the trip is starting to wear me down becase I could not make it up to the top of the castle's main keep. I made it up as far as the 3rd floor but could travel no furthur, and I did not get much footage becase I was too tired. The walk through the garden was much easier and I got some footage I think my family will like.

Namba take 2

Once again we wandered around Den-Den Town looking for gifts to bring back. There is too much here. most of which would be difficult to use in the states. Though for 1,357,823 yen they had a really nice big screen T.V. I am sure my dad would like. Today we were going to go to Nara in the afternoon but we spent too much time in Den-Den Town so we went to Shitennoji Temple instead. We went there to see a Buddhist all souls day ceremony, but again we arrived just too late to see the festival, we did walk around the temple grounds a bit. All this walking is tiring us out and makeing it difficult to get to things before they close.
