Month: March 2003

The new site is pretty much ready. A few problems I was having were fixed when my friend Patrick came over for a visit yesterday (to watch a video of Japanese group The Modern Choki Chokies, and then a DVD of OH! MIKEY episodes, probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen). He just…

I read through the latest issue of WIRED today, which is its 10th anniversary issue. It made me realize how fast time goes, as I remember reading the first issues, back when I was a university student. Getting old… I turn 30 this year, at the end of May… In a strange twist, I now…

Great Quicktime stream of Joi Ito describing Japanese democracy (or lack thereof). You can also follow him in his blog.

I wanted to mention that the picture that is up now (030314) was taken at Yoyogi park, which is right by Harajuku station.

New rules for a wireless society (in Japan).

I just learned that my site had been nominated at The 2003 Photobloggies in the “Best Kept Secret Photoblog” category. Nice to know that some people enjoy the site enough to have it nominated. Makes doing this all worth it.

Today’s pic (030310) was taken at the Ochanomizu subway station, and what’s particular with it is that I tried giving it a Lomo look through Photoshop from a guide found at this site (I found that using the actions didn’t work well, but the tutorial, if a bit modified, does nicely). I love pics taken…
