I’m way too Technorati-able to require much of a worship site.

The best thing about being named “Rirkrit” is that there aren’t a whole
lot of guys on the net named “Rirkrit.” So, even though Rirkrit’s not blogging
his head off the way Xeni and I do, you can Google Image-search
“Rirkrit” and you can witness the guy’s haircut literally zooming around
on his head with the passage of the years. It’s a kind of instant,
machine-generated Rirkrit retrospective.

This puppet Rirkrit’s not half-shabby, either.

Hanging around with people tagged with handles like “Rirkrit,”
“Xeni,” “Jasmina” “Cory” and “Frauenfelder” makes me want
to change my name to “Broos Strrling.” Think of the search-hits
I’d pick up!

  4. Maybe Xeni and Rirkrit (and Bruce Strlng?) could do what Siva Vaidhyanathan does on his blog: an audio pronunciation guide, with voice talent by Siva himself.
