Dear Japan parking garage designers
Please learn how to make a garage that puts the support pylons away from where cars have to manoeuvre; my country seems to have gotten this right lately. What's your excuse?

Developing ways to kiss digitally
via feedproxy.google.com Diginfo shows us a “kiss transmission device” that is being developed by the Kajimoto Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications: That's right. Because in Japan, we believe EVERYTHING should have the ability to be sent electronically... And you know if they're working on sending kisses through the internet, they've got 2nd, and 3rd base under R&D as we speak. Ever see a movie called "Cherry 2000"? “This device is for communications within the mouth, in other words...

Another example of fearmongering "journaltainment"
via twitter.com This is the reason why my mother was in tears on the phone PLEADING for me to come back home from Japan. This is also the reason I cringe when I remember what CNN used to be like before Time Warner's involvement. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I think news should just be the facts... What happened and how it happened... not what some broad in New York 10,000 miles away SPECULATES what MAY have happened... Use that squishy goo between your ears people...

Japan's Earthquake Prediction System
via cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com This is also what popped up on my iPhone about 2 seconds after I noticed the shaking... Notice how it started off slow-- but when I saw the warning, I broke for door and ran into the parking lot across the street, right before the REAL shaking started... What a lot of people don't know is that all gas meters have radio transponders in them in addition to mercury switches. In a normal situation, the motion will trigger the gas meter to cut the flow-- but in this situation, the...

Here's something I missed a few weeks ago in the Japan Times... Last year saw many changes for Japanese Internet users as people began to shift from Japanese social networks to international ones, and from regular cellphones to smart phones. The international influence was felt in other web-based areas too. So what can we expect for 2011? Twitter: The 2010 results for Yahoo! Japan's annual search rankings were not that different from those in 2009. But one buzzword that did jump up drastically...
