Hey, hey, it's...

Spent the morning at an anime con, where I acquired a framed print by Hong Kong digital painter Cuson Lo. It depicts an elderly inventor type playing chess in a basement(?) against a humanoid robot. Google image search his name and you'll soon find it.

In the afternoon, I witnessed the Galloping Greens fix the Marlins' wagon, 41-13. The Bledisloe Cup was on display. Oddly, so was the flag of Texas, draped over a barrier. At one point, the announcer raised a chuckle with, "Conversion *very* unsuccessful."
