hey I am pretty psyched, posted a new page on .mac and brought my mini podcast into existence. let’s see if it will hold out at the 10gb limit mac gives you, or if i have to go and move it to a new server..? it’s a video podcast. it’s a bit silly and unpolished, but hey, this world needs another podcast, especially about Minis! ha! check out “StarLord’s Mini Podcast” on iTunes, or go to my new .mac webpage and subscribe or download from there.. then let me know what you think? What would you like added to it? want me to interview you or someone about your love for Minis? etc? Looking for ideas.. Not that I don’t have enough of my own, but yeh the more the merrier! Let’s motor..

Today I added counters to the website pages, and updated the photo page to include some of my own pictures. Oh, I know, you are wondering about the strange photo above. This was taken at Ano Nuevo in January 2005, I am not sure if there was a fire here, but it looked surreal so I snapped a photo. No, there wasn’t any photoshopping done to the picture. Odd, innit? It was raining, and there wasn’t a lot of activity with the Elephant Seals, but we did get a good deal of walking in.. Back to today, it’s raining as well.. :/ You can either complain about getting wet, or make it a better rain..
Today I gave notice at iPass, sent out 24 letters of rejection to job offers, pulled my resume off dice.com, and accepted one great new job! Hurray! (new job starts 4/17)
Yesterday I upgraded my .mac account to full membership, and also purchased an iSight firewire cam for my podcast. I did some test runs with it this morning, along the way to work.. it’s not perfect, but should do the job. The one thing it doesn’t have is MANUAL CONTROL! Argh!.. but the guy at the Apple store in Burlingame said a 3rd party app might..? The cell phone photo is me (right) and Alberto (left) climbing a rock wall at Six Flags Marine World theme park, in Vallejo, California.
tried to add the thing, but the tags were all whack so I removed it.. sorry folks!
so, if you’re a Mini / MINI owner, please hook up with my Frappr map, as well MiniPaul.Co.UK and WhiteRoofRadio.com PODCAST Frappr maps.. (and download the shows using iTunes)

One of my favorite songs is this acoustic guitar ballad, I was told once it is also used as a them to a Japanese TV show though have never seen it or heard it here in USA — if anyone has the correct lyrics and can give this to me along with translation, well I would be VERY grateful
In fact, if you like I will give you a nice enlargement of the photo I took of this Passion Flower from my backyard, or some other picture of your choice
Here is a rough (please pardon my romaji!) translation of it from what I can decipher in the mp3,
doko kala keta loka wakala na e watshi wa
dodo kani kuto balamo e wo samiyo u
kimi kala mola ata atala shi hanewo
yuma aku tu alamede at domo sukoshi
eki dai tapu kausan ai e sugete
doli aisu kimino ashite eelu
a nani ka sashi
hanano l lowo ni takala
taishi dawa sukoshidake
tsu yoku naleda kana
wakala ni kuto bakali da suki na watashi wa
dokuno ko adakane kimi wo su washi deta
kimi ne atekala dedebu enoma made
hashi mete kosodito nemoake temi du
ekala keleba nalalai koto shitedu
sole demo made kimino yokohu hu ashite elu
a nani kalashi
tsu keno i lowoni kakala
taishidawa sukoshidake
ya sashi ku naleda kana
hanina ki leida
dakela sai no no ke dakala
kashi dawa sukoshidake
dakaku dobedu kana
dakaku dobedu kana
