The fate of hello! blogger and food

By: Yoshi

For all you long time readers, you may have noticed a slight (or not so slight) change. I’ve merged hello! blogger and hello! food into hello! yoshi. Those two sites haven’t really been getting much traffic as of late, and honestly, I don’t need to have so many websites. So there you have it. I’ll [...]

I know I haven’t done this in a really long time. But I’m trying to get back into blogging so I can get distracted. Fact 33: I used to work at Earthlink Network. I was a Technical Support Representative, Tier 2. I took care of escalations yes. It was a crazy job. You’re pretty much [...]

WordPress 3.0 and Expression Engine 2.0

I’m very happy to say that my WordPress sites are all upgraded to 3.0. But I have to admit that as a major point release, it doesn’t show much. I’m not saying there weren’t major upgrades, because there were. The merge of WordPress and WordPress MU is a major accomplishment. Kudos to the Automattic team [...]

My soundtrack: Honky Tonk Women…

By: Yoshi

Way back in 1989 or so, The Rolling Stones released Steel Wheels and went on a worldwide tour. I was one of the ones lucky enough to go to one of their concerts. I remember this one pretty clearly except some of the people who happened to go with me. I do remember a couple [...]

My Soundtrack: Linger

You know, I still don’t know when I first heard this song. The song was first recorded in 1993, so I suspect I probably heard this song first while I was stationed in MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. When I hear this song, no matter what mood I’m in, I guarantee most of the time I will [...]

Doritos late night – Cheeseburger

By: Yoshi

Okay everyone. There’s been some controversy at facebook about these chips. It seems that most people (and I mean most in the most extreme way) seem to hate these doritos. I wonder why. They just say it’s gross and horrible. At least some people have tried it out. I know the name is not exactly [...]

My soundtrack: Pop Song 89…

By: Yoshi

I totally remember the GREEN tour. We all went to this concert, “the gang” and we had a blast. I remember a bunch of us going to this concert, and I think it was when I first met Kate (at least I think so). I don’t know why I remember it like this. I remember [...]

My soundtrack: Caught up in you…

By: Yoshi

I have to say that the first time I actually heard this song was probably back in 1984 or so. I hadn’t heard 38 Special’s Caught up in you back in 1982 when it first came out. I heard it when one of my friends gave me a copy of a mix tape he had [...]

If I had a soundtrack, it’d go something like this: Pretty Woman

By: Yoshi

I remember way back when, living in Japan, we’d heard of this thing called MTV. We were astonished they finally made a channel dedicated just to music videos. So we had some friends send a VHS tape of some of the music videos to us in Japan. It was awesome. The first video I saw, [...]

If I had a soundtrack, it’d go something like this: Maneater…

By: Yoshi

The next song is Maneater by Hall and Oates. No, not the one by Nelly Furtado. Although I have to admit I like that song too. I think the reason I chose this song was because of the previous song. I have to admit if I hear Heat of the Moment, then immediately this song [...]
