How original

From the New Straits Times (June 17, fact fans):

But for many, it is the bloggers’ originality and linguistic flair that make them go back for more.

One blogger, for example, pens his sarcastic take on the idiosyncrasies of Malaysians with the opening remarks: “There are two things infinite, the universe and human stupidity, although I am not too sure about the former.”

The problem here is the quote intended to show bloggers’ originality (and linguistic flair) was originally an Albert Einstein quote.

Quinton Fortune returns to South Africa.
Fortune isn’t the most exciting of players to watch but he’s honest and hardworking, and his work with UNICEF shows he’s got a heart of gold as well.

Cat call

My new neighbour, a Bangladeshi trader, has a cat. It’s a white one with pale blue eyes and it bears a slight resemblance to my missing (and badly missed) cat. I think they may have had the same sire.

Anyway, I heard “meow, meow, meow” from our balcony today. Upon investigating, I was alarmed to see the neighbour’s cat had somehow managed to scale the mango tree in our garden and had made it to our balcony. This was alarming because the balcony is where the bunny likes to spend the day.

The cat was sitting there less than two feet away from the bunny, staring at it. I’ve mentioned before the bunny is a bit of a badass but I was still taken aback to see her staring right back at the cat. Not taking any chances, I quickly grabbed the cat.

I was still hearing “meow, meow, meow” but it wasn’t coming from the cat; it was coming from my neighbour’s handphone next door. He had apparently recorded the cat meowing and was using the recording to call for it.

Anyway, I returned the cat to its owner and let him know as politely as I could it would be best for all concerned if the cat stayed away from our balcony.

I don’t want to end up having to explain to someone their cat had been killed by a widdle bunny wabbit.

Kihennifuyu’s Hibiki episode reviews.
Complete with SD-style cartoons.

Namco Museum user review.
“This game really pushes the power of the psp to new heights. Just as the Atari classics on the ds, this is perfect for anyone looking to see exactly what their PSP can do. I’ve heard that some PSPs have overheated when trying to display this game.” Heh.

Pac-man patriotism. [via]
“Mitchell purposefully arrived on July 1st — Canada’s Day — and won the title in time for the Fourth of July. He even wore a red, white and blue, Star Spangled Banner tie to emphasize the patriotic sentiments behind his efforts.” I cracked up when he likened himself to Neil Armstrong. Clearly, playing too much Pac-Man distorts your sense of perspective.

PSP case roundup. [via]
I’m happy with my Logitech Playgear Pocket. I don’t have to remove the PSP from the case to play or charge it and it’s tough enough to provide peace of mind. It could be criticised for being chunky and bland-looking but it’s a protective case, not a fashion accessory.

BT used to distribute malware. [via]
As others have pointed out, it’s no big deal. Just use common sense, check the file details of the torrent before downloading and keep in mind executables aren’t likely to be movies or TV shows.
