I have the DAH-1500i and hopefully in this new version, they fixed the many quirks on the firmware. I noticed that they have recessed the sliphole for the strap.

Comcast's frequent short outages (short like 2-3 hours a day, and at least one day a week) got me into looking for other ISP's. Switching over to Vonage to save money, This really hurts my phoneline. Unfortunately I can only get Comcast HSI where my house is (other than Direcway, which isn't an option for me). If they are gonna go through with "sabotage", then I might really consider moving somewhere else that has ISP services other than Comcast.

I hope I win!

Hopefully they have fixed the firmware quirks with this new release.

funny how the camera looks like the smiley from the cingular emoticon article :(

oh and as far as taking too much time to make it? it has to be perfect or people won't eat it, much like the one described on Stefoodie. Balut is sold almost everywhere in the Philippines, mostly at night. Just look for a guy walking by the streets, holding a basket with a white cloth covering the top.

Being in the US for quite some time, I haven't had balut eventhough I know some Filipinos here make them (though they use chicken eggs here in the East Coast, not as much as they use Duck eggs on the West Coast, where there's a considerably large Filipino community). Anyway, I myself don't eat balut, due to a bad experience involving me seeing the chick when I was a child. We were taught to eat balut with our eyes closed. I just drink the soup, and the hard-boiled egg part, which is probably like 20% of the whole thing. I've showed pictures of it to me american friends and enjoyed the horror of their reactions a bit. Balut is an acquired taste type, and maybe a little guts to take it. Just ask those who had it in Fear Factor, or Survivor.

It could be a variation of what #2 said, but in the Philipppines (I'm in the US but was from the Philippines), we have "Leche Flan". I found a recipe online: http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/filipino/00/rec0002.html funny, I just had some last week. I haven't had those in a long while.

The Beat-all episode was a good one. That's one of the reasons why I've thought PPG's audience weren't kids, as they wouldn't have understood most of the references. My choice for a good short is the Ren and Stimpy Happy Happy Joy Joy song. Or maybe the Hermit Ren episode.
