My new favorite opening line from a novel:

It has been reported that Tanuki fell from the sky using his scrotum as a parachute.

Overall, Tom Robbins' Villa Incognito is a decent story, although I've heard the rather thin book ends a bit abruptly. Like everything else he's written, it's very readable, but I dunno, it just hasn't grabbed me like past books. Villa Incognito does feature, however, the best use of Tanuki since Super Mario 3.

The long awaited update for the Hiptop is finally upon us, and should be magically beaming itself into our phones in the next week or so. Nice timing on Danger's part, as the contracts of the early adopters will be up soon, and without this update I'm sure a good number of em would not be returning. I, for one, am looking forward to finally having a calculator on my phone.

Update: S4xton has it, check out his amazing video!
