pachi's tech is Leontief!

i couldn't help but blogging this. once i thought, this is a material for the other blog. but this is so fun, and not necessarily econic -- so you read it here. pachi, my cute niece is, as i just found out, leontief-ian. her mother told me this story over the dinner. she bought pachi a set of cute stationary set. it has six colorful pages to write letter on and three envelopes. it's time for pachi to write letter to her friends. when she's done she showed it to her mom. mom saw three letters, each with single page and three envelopes -- one for each letter. mom asked her, so you still have three pages leftover, honey? pachi stared at her mom. "mom," she said, "why should i still have them? you gave me only three envelopes. but you gave me too many papers. i threw three pages to the trash bin". isn't she cute?

walt hates blogosphere (roy suryo sort of thing)

all this thing about eason jordan's resignation from the cnn. he talked to the public, things went awry, he resigned, big deal! that happens everywhere! so why in the world is this walt rodgers guy so blaming it on the blogging world? i say, mind your own kitchen, walt!

don't read this


men of violence Posted by Hello

on the way back from dubai i read this book. beware, don't do the same mistake. this is an extremely ill-written book. unless you are willing to read 200-ish pages of cheap big-mouthing, do not waste your money.

pity this man

"...about your hatred toward friendster and blog (sic!), i pity you..."
so i wrote to this person. frankly, i never took him seriously. but this morning i couldn't keep laughing when reading his letter to tempo magazine. and i'm not surprised to see so many "fans" of him in the internet. try google him and you know what i mean.
