Apparently, this company is looking for rich American investors.

They pride themselves on becoming “the biggest women sanitary nakpins mill in Jiangsu province.”

Sorry that there hasn’t been a lot of bloggage happening at this site in the past few days… real life calls. Being back at school, handling some freelance jobs, as well as maintaining a household kinda distracts me from the real fun stuff.

There have been some updates to the link weblog… new entries, as well as a link submission window. Send me your fun, weird and interesting links!

If you were wondering who the cute little girl is that has been on the webcam still for a few days, it’s my niece Maddie (Madeline). Isn’t she a cutie? She came for a visit this past Saturday. Just so you know, I didn’t shrink into a 2 year old.

Halloween is upon us… we’re gonna go to a REAL pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay this weekend, I think, and hand pick our punkins from the field. I’m pondering a cool pattern to put on my pumpkin for this year. This one is just downright frightening… and you can’t scare the kiddies more than this one, for sure!

The sorta-highly anticipated Tony Hawk Apple “Switch” ad is now up.

You can also read his written testimonial. A quote about his iPod:
“I’ve got the 10 gig, and I’ve got it engraved. It says, “Boom, boom, bling, bling.” Boom, Boom is a tour that we’re doing, and Bling, Bling is just bling, bling. It’s a hip hop thing.”
Haha.

Although Hawk is not technically a switcher (he’s been a mac user for a long time), this ad does appeal to a really large audience. The music they use in these ads aren’t really complimentary to the skating footage, heh.

Check out the other new ads too. Kelly Slater (pro surfer) and DJ Q-Bert… as well as the “everday people” Gianni Jacklone (this ad in particular is pretty funny) and Richard Ziskin. As annoying as this ad campaign has become to some, it’s proven pretty successful for Apple, with “thousands” of switchers since the campaign began.

I had no idea that it was a common thing in Japan to use minty eye drops (see this page on j-list for a couple of common brands, about 4 or 5 products down the page). I picked up a bottle of Sato Flash eye drops at Mitsuwa Marketplace this afternoon to try ‘em out. I needed a pick-me up cos I was out and about for school from 8:30am till 9:10pm!

These drops that I got have menthol & camphor in them, I think. WOW, these things refreshed my eyes and made them all clear and white. I’m amazed. Yeah, so it stung a little at first, but it worked!

Whodathunk… mints for your eyes!
