Thousands of people visit his company’s showroom in Hong Kong every week to see the solid-gold toilet, which sits in a garish

Studio building updates; plus a sale
September 30th, 2008 · No Comments
Well, it looks like the moving schedule madness is now taking hold, so I make no promises of posting many new paintings over the next several days. I have a lot of work ahead of me and a lot of decisions to make as I move out of my current studio space. The new studio will be less than half the size of my current one. This isn’t a complaint, mind you (after all the space will be my very own.) But I will have to make the most of the space I have. So in between the packing, I’m prepping for a St

Irony travels

It sure does. How far it can really go, I’m not 100% certain, but I know it managed to follow us 3716.09 miles last week from here in Holland to Toronto, Canada. The idea was to escape, get away, forget all about this babyfying business. All was going really well until we hit downtown Toronto and wanted to find our way around. How should we do it? well, why public transport of course! Thinking that it should be simple, as the city is covered in trams, and buses, and subways. What is the ent

Can you recommend a plumber?
September 30th, 2008 · No Comments
We have an old house. I like to refer to it as vintage–43 years old. As a result, our pipes are crapping out here and there. We called a plumber and got someone after two weeks of waiting, only to get billed for a job (nearly $400) that was unacceptable. A kid in plumbing 101 could have done it in two hours, but this person took four hours and a friend to make matters worse. A couple of discussions resulted in the company walking away without my money. That’s why I’m asking to find out if an

Doctors still the number one source of advice?
September 30th, 2008 · No Comments
Doctors still the number one source of advice? Barely. In a recent Survey it was found that “doctors remain the number one source of advice on health for 52 per cent of the 500 adult Internet users surveyed in Malaysia.” That’s just over half of surveyed Internet users. I wonder what the other half rely one? Advice from chat rooms and Internet forums is really a high-tech way of asking your friends, neighbours and relatives for health advice. Given the fact that the average Malaysian is not

Lengthy Reply to an Ignorant Commenter
September 29th, 2008 · No Comments
Most of you read my recent post titled, “The last day I’ll ever be questioned.” It was a pretty aggressive piece of writing. I went complete berserk on a member of my front-end staff for defending who I called a, “Scumbag.” I received a range of comments — some applauded me for standing up and telling the front-end staff to butt out. Others didn’t agree with the ferociousness with which I went after him but agreed with the overall message. Then I had one jackass who took the opportunity to atta
