Little Link List 24
"This will make vegetarians out of the whole table!" - Gordon Ramsay's attempt to open a restaurant in New York (and other interesting stuff);
Password fatigue - I've basically given up, and I'm hoping that OpenID will be a solution;
Driving cars makes you hungry - ever wondered what using corn for biofuel is doing to the price of food?

Mowser - the cool mobile browser tool
Today I stumbled across a nice website that turns any other website into a site formatted for mobile devices. Simply go to Mowser and type in the URL of the site you want to view and it will reformat the site and make it nicer for your mobile device (e.g. phone, PSP etc). Here's a shot of this blog, mowsered:

Pabuk is gone, and a new kind of vision
Yesterday at about 2.30pm, the Hong Kong Observatory raised the Number 8 signal, which meant that Typhoon Pabuk was going to pass very very close to Hong Kong. Number 8 means everyone should go home immediately - which of course caused chaos, and "Taxi drivers were quick to exploit the situation, with some demanding as much as HK$50 above the meter reading."
Didn't bother me too much - the only thing I noticed was that for about an hour it was impossible to phone anyone at all.
And now - moving on to a new kind of entertainment. Pandavision. There are four pandas at the popular Ocean Park here in Hong Kong, and now you can watch them on the web all day, or tune in to the Pandavision Channel on TV (providing you have Now Pay-TV). 24-hours of non-stop hot Panda action.

Missed us by "that much"
Typhoon Pabuk passed about 50km south of the island early yesterday morning - BUT - apparently it has now turned around and is heading back this way again! (The red asterisk is the position of Hong Kong, the black line is the path the typhoon has already taken, the red line is the path they think it will take.)

It's Coming This Way
Finally! After an entire typhoon season of no typhoons, Typhoon Pabuk, fresh from a successful tour of Taiwan is heading straight towards us. The T1 warning is in force, and it should hit us some time tomorrow.
