Taiphoon is peripherally passing through Shanghai, nothing too serious, at least not for the moment. Our school is closed for today though, so my wife does not have to work today. She can stay home and read a book. I am so envious!! I still have to work!!

Let's talk Smallville 

TGIF!!! (Thank God it's Friday). Have been watching Smallville for the last week with my wife Becky. So far (til 1st half of season 2) we both like it a lot, although I think it's a bit too similar to Buffy/Angel. Let's analyze the character similarities:

Chloe = Willow: both do research, although one is more in the mystical realm.

Pete = Xander: the funny guys.

Clark = Buffy: hero with powers, full of responsibilities, cannot share the secret... Now this is common for many superheroes, and Superman was the first superhero.

The Lana-Clark relationship is the usual tension before they finally get together, or do they?

I don't like Lionel Luthor, he should die soon.

Things that I like about Smallville:

Dynamic between Clark and Luthor. Very well played, although Luthor is a little bit too likable, he should be darker. We are told he had a dark past, but the only episode I've seen so far about club incident was another noble act by Luthor. Hopefully it'll get darker in the future.

The Kent family. I like both parents, and the way they protect Clark. Reminids me of John Byrne's Superman.

No more software updates recently. haven't been playing with this for a while. I should keep this going while Dave is kind enough to host us.  

How come today's outline is not showing? 

It's finally showing now. Strange that it took some time for it to update the home page. 

Taking a nap now. Did you know that in Asia, it is custom to take a nap during lunch time. They eat lunch very quickly and then take a nap before starting work again. I wasn't used to it at the beginning, but now I do it everyday.  

Just discovered that Walter found my link to his own blog. I linked him because he has quite a few tutorials about the OPML Editor, plus Dave himself linked to him. Again, go check out his blog for very fine instructions on the use of OPML editor.
