Not-So-Famous Creatures of Japan

Tokyo Tower Mascot

Tokyo Tower Mascot

Didn't know they had a mascot. Pretty amusing looking one. =P

My overall opinion of the TT: Not really a must go. Its more romantic OUTSIDE the tower. I'll write more next time, department head just came over to check me out.

Snow Man From Kanazawa.

Snow Man from Kanazawa

A little one we made ourselves with a glove on top. Plays snowballs for a living.
Found melted by a passerby during summer. Leaving a written message "Looking for an apartment with a fridge."

How corny can i get.

Happy Easter


Wikipedia.org:
"Good Friday is a holy day celebrated by Christians on the Friday before Easter or Pascha. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. Special prayer services are often held on this day with readings from the Gospel accounts of the events leading up to the crucifixion. Mainstream Christian churches view Christ's crucifixion as a voluntary and vicarious act, and one by which, along with his resurrection on the third day, death itself was conquered."
"Easter (also called Pascha) is generally accounted as one of the most important holidays of the Christian year - perhaps the most important - observed in March or April each year to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead after his death by crucifixion (see Good Friday), which Christians believe happened at about this time of year around AD 30-33. (Easter can also refer to the season of the church year, lasting for nearly two months, which follows this holiday and ends around Pentecost."

iPod Therefore iAm



Tech Central Station: iPod Therefore iAm

Ordinary people narrowcast; always have, always will. It's human nature to want to surround ourselves with like-minded people, familiar music, comfortable art, and unchallenging surroundings. Who can be surprised that our technology reflects this basic impulse?

Ok, so not good news to everyone, just good news for me? Well, just hope that I'll be gainfully employed when I graduate!

Industry Insider: Sony Sinking


Sony is in deep trouble. If it hadn’t been obvious to you over the last year it sure is obvious now with their elevating a foreigner to CEO, Howard Stringer. Now having worked for and with Japanese companies, hiring a non-Japanese to do anything with a lot of responsibility is rare, but to run the whole company? Almost unheard of.
