Ototo おっとっと

In Geology we studied the use of microfossils to date the layers in deep sea sediments. This is commonly used in petroleum and gas exploration.

Morinaga make a snack called Ototo おっとっと which is pretty much the edible version of microfossils.

They’re quite addictive. I think they would make the perfect beer snack.

Changes afoot

I’m changing jobs, and as part of that I’m moving Indigofan’s site hosting.

As you can see I’m messing with the templates – things are a bit broken. Check back in a few days.

This is the type of experience that Virgin Galactic are hoping to offer to their customers. At $200k for a trip, I’ll be booking my ticket after I win the lottery this year.

If you need to do some physical activity in your jeans… �then you need Action Jeans.

This is the type of denim shop you can find in Malaysia.

… not much denim.

I’ve been posting less recently because of some big events in my life.

My baby daughter was born just over one week ago.

She’s a lot of fun, and a lot of work.

Anyway, I’ll be posting more indigofan stuff soon, and I’ll clean up the blog with the migration to the new system.

Looking at the denim with a rather cruddy USB microscope.

Off Topic: Hanshin Tigers

This doesn’t really relate to the theme of this blog, but it happened while I was in Japan in March.

On 10th March divers finally found the statue of the Colonel Sanders in the Dotombori Canal… it had been lost for 24 years.

When I first saw the statue on the TV I couldn’t understand why people were so excited about a statue of Stalin. Then I realised it was Mr. KFC.

Many of the baseball fans in Osaka were very excited because this should mean that the Curse of the Colonel will be lifted from the popular team, the Hanshin Tigers.

I’m not really a baseball fan, but it seemed like a sign that I should start following the Hanshin Tigers, so I got a jersey.
