Curse you, Lag!

Though this post's title would suggest that I'm blaming bandwidth issues and bad latency for my piss-poor performance in Counter-Strike last night, I'm actually talking about the lag associated with jets. Jet-Lag. Ugh.

If you hadn't already guessed, I am back in the US after a glorious time in Tokyo. I'm fighting off sleep-deprived nights and delusions of grandeur with American fast-food and reality television.

Tokyo is a wonderful place that I'd encourage you all to visit someday if you ever have the chance. Over the next few days, I'll do my darndest to bring a little piece of my trip to MOSH (through visual aid, of course). I have a few teaser images up here, if you haven't already noticed.

In the meantime, let's take moment to highlight some of the newest shining stars here at MOSH.

FinHit
A photographer, 3D artist, and world dominator rolled into one, FinHit has some quality pics and videos that would make and handset proud. Be sure to check out his epic movie "Robo vs. wwii germans with a bear". I can only hope for this level of action in Transformers 2.

sblock
Sblock has provided some dandy must-have apps and games, including HandyWi, a freeware app that detects wifi hotspots and allows your smartphone to communicate over them. If you find yourself spending more free time with that special personal device you call a mobile phone, sblock's page will definitely help enhance that relationship.

Barfman
Shrowded in a veil of mystery, Barfman's mysterious profile teases and entices Russell. So far, he's only managed a few uploads, but perhaps MOSH will learn more of Barfman in the near future.
