Well, it looks like eating until you’re full makes you die faster. No more all-you-can-eat Sushi for me.

Apparently there are some good ramen places in the East Village. I’ll have to check them out some time.

Ramen Setagaya [East Village]
141 First Avenue (between E. Ninth Street and St. Marks Place), Manhattan

update: There were so many good food places around here that I had to start a wiki: http://eastvillagefood.pbwiki.com

A little while ago, I went on a seaweed shopping spree at Uwajimaya. Among all of the different types of seaweed I purchased that day, this one really stood out. I have no idea what it says.

A quick review: It’s oilier, saltier, and way tastier than the normal Japanese nori.

(If anyone could translate the bag, that would be awesome.)

Today Pro held a surprise awards ceremony to celebrate surviving the Siggraph crunch.

I won a little something for being generally helpful around the lab — editing movies, debugging code, editing papers, and writing scripts in crazy languages that I haven’t touched for years.

Thank you Colin Zheng!
