Symphony Of Light Hong Kong
Symphony Of Light Hong Kong: "Tourism forms a vital part of Hong Kong's economy. The Hong Kong Tourism Commission engaged Laservision as their consultants with a brief to develop the idea of creating a permanent 'light show' based on the illumination of significant buildings in Hong Kong."
Let Me Tell You About Your Tomorrow!
I am now finishing up Friday and you all are just starting it. For those inclined, just add 4 hours to the time and reverse the AM to PM or the PM to AM and you'll be over here with me. Even after being given four days to adjust my body is still in denile! Wake up in the middle of the new night and be wide awake and hungry. I don't seem to be hungry for dinner but I am starving for breakfast.
Today we saw Christmas, Toys, and Plastic Ware. I had the most fun at the Christmas place and hope I picked out some good products. I am off to get some sleep and lay low for awhile.

Anyone For A...
Teppanyaki Christmas?
Imagine a 40,000 square foot warehouse with nothing in it but Christmas! Miles and miles of it, a friggen MAZE of Santa's knick knacks! Now think about how hungry you would be after that long walk. Please place yourself in the chair to my left and dig in! The item directly in front of me is cuttlefish: a squid like item cooked in some really excellent seasoning. It looks pretty bad but tastes pretty good!

Greetings From Hong Kong!
Sitting here in the Hotel Niko after a fun day of seeing toys and plush. Quite tired today as I think my body is starting to realize that I wont be going back to the 'right way' for awhile. I hope to get a good nights sleep tonight and should be my normal self for the rest of the trip. Pretty chilly for Hong Kong and I have even thought of going out and buying a light jacket or something to keep warm. No, I did not bring something warm on this trip because it has never been cooler than 70 degrees anywhere I have been in Asia! The locals here are wearing monster winter coats that we would leave in the closet unless it was in the teens or lower! The usual smog covers the city here and the cough I was almost over with is making a come back.
Now for the bitch: With the exception of one individual who knows who he is, I am lacking ANY comments on my blog entries in quite awhile. Imagine that if this blog were say a church, comments whould be the offering. Now at this point in time the blog God, (Me) is not a very happy camper and seeing that I am in a distant land away from my wife and new home I could use a few stinking comments!
Well, with that off of my chest I will let you all go for now and I will update you all later.

Site Of The Month!
This is a 'Must Get!" Very cool program that makes your desktop fun to look at and quite useful! Even in Asia, I'm taking care of you!
What is Konfabulator?: "Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.
What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it takes full advantage of today's advanced graphics. This allows Widgets to blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of traditional window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these little guys are right at home in Windows XP and Mac OS X.
The format for these Widgets is completely open and easy to learn so creating your own Widgets is an extremely easy task.
For the 'skinning' crowd, Konfabulator is a dream come true. You can easily change the look, feel, layout, even functionality of a Widget so that it matches your lifestyle, your desktop, or the pants or skirt you have on that day.
Konfabulator is the first product from Pixoria Inc."

Greetings From Taiwan!
My first full day in Asia comes to a close as I prepare myself for bed. Saw 3 clients today and looked at plastics, cookware, and acrylic products. All of my systems seem to be working fine and I figure I will feel really good after tonights sleep. Foggy and rainy here with temps in the low 60's. The ride from the airport last night was a wild one with the guy doing 100 mph + for the 30 miles to the hotel, all of this in a driving rain storm! I was so sleepy that all I could do was stare at the gauges on the dash and wonder what the speed was in kilometers. What do you tip a guy that scares the crap out of you? Well, I made it, so that is all that matters.
I have taken some good photos despite the rain and mist. I will upload one or two. Next update will come from Hong Kong.

Greetings From Japan!
Just landed in Tokyo - Narita Japan! Flew over on an Airbus A330, an very nice plane. My body knows it is almost 11pm at night and I still have 10 hours to go yet until I can hit the sack. I had dinner when I got on the plane, and breakfast right before I got off? I tried to sleep as I always do and onced again I just can't seem to do it! Coming into Japan is quite a site... dense packed houses and small fields for farms and everything goes right to the edge of the ocean. There are very large wind mills lining the beach to collect wind power and it is very dry here. I have 3 more hours here at the airport until I catch the next plane to Taipei, Taiwan. I have to look up how to spell that every time as it just is not easy to remember.
Seems very hot here in the United lounge, with lots of people eating and talking. Well I most go and see what strange food I can find and go and browse a shop or two. I will upload some photos as soon as I shoot some.
