    The W21S Nation keeps growing, as Jeremy (of Antipixel) also gets one. I need to meet Paul sometime soon to see what he’s doing with his. And I’ve been finding lots of mobile-friendly sites that are keeping me busy on my daily train rides. No need to bring books or magazines with me anymore.

Produced as a part of Shochiku’s “Ozu Yasujiro 100th Anniversary Memorial Project 2003”, this is an homage Hou Hsiao-Hsien dedicated to the filmmaker he admires. The concept, along with the fact that Hitoto Yo is…

    Now that I have my new WIN phone, I’m trying to find some good sites that are mobile phone or PDA-friendly. Good RSS feeds are also welcome (full feeds, as excerpt do me no good as I’m looking for some stuff to read). Since getting the phone, I’ve been reading the great mobile version of…
