“Japan’s exports plunged more than 45% in January compared to a year ago to hit the lowest figure ever recorded, official figures showed.”
Is this a good indication that Japan’s economy isn’t doing that great anymore? Answer should most definately be yes.

New Look for this website
I love the new look to this website now. Looks clean, fresh, and much nicer. Thanks to Josh for integrating so many scripts into one theme; it really makes integrating Twitter, Flickr, and other things much easier.

Nigirian Spammer Swindles the Bank. Wait, What? →
“But one man found success by tweaking the formula, prosecutors say: Rather than trying to dupe an account holder into giving up information, he duped the bank. And instead of swindling a person, he tried to rob a country — of $27 million.”

I got a 70%, which should be higher since I accidentally missed a question. Oh well. See...

Piracy winning? →
“The campaign failed miserably. By the end of the year, illegal copies of the Batman movie had been downloaded more than seven million times around the world, according to the media measurement firm BigChampagne, turning it into a visible symbol of Hollywood’s helplessness against the growing problem of online video piracy.”
So a popular movie like “The Dark Knight” is...

27 Questionable facts about myself
1. My full legal name is Jeremy Nicholas Wong. No, I won’t give you my social security number. 2. I’ve had my pants pulled down in public. Some prankster in middle school thought it was a good prank. 3. I remember having a thought in the womb, though most people I tell disbelieve this. I don’t give a sh*t, I know it happened. 4. I didn’t utter the f-bomb until the 7th...
