Swine Flu: What to do?

Filed Under General | 3 Comments

First of all, don’t believe in any swine flu news coming from me, or from other people who really aren’t in any position to know. Twitter and Plurk and Facebook are not the best places to get the latest fact based breaking news about it. Twitter may be a good place to have an idea [...]

The exterior is mostly designed after popular indie comic book “Nardong Tae” so you can expect to see something like that. Well, OK, here’s a photo: The [...]
