If a 14-year-old can do it...
Just thought I'd share something that's inspiring, and also let's everyone know that young folks ARE ready to stand up and take over, if given a fair chance and proper guidance. Savannah Britt was a published poet by the age of eight. By nine, she was hired as a paid reviewer of children’s books for The Kitchen Table News – a New Jersey newspaper with a readership of 70,000. But when that newspaper went under, Savannah was left unemployed at the tender age of 11. Like any great entrepreneur, Savannah pulled...

Working in Japan--Joe's last day as a corporate suit
image from tamegoeswild @ flickr This is the last time that I put on a suit and commute across Tokyo on the rush hour trains - and I am very happy! I'll be leaving the company I've worked at since returning to Japan a year ago, and joining a local publishing / media company www.whiterabbitpress.com - they're the folks who produce the world's no.1-selling kanji flash cards, kanji poster, and who recently have started producing audio tours of Tokyo (Kabukicho and Akihabara so far). You might...

J7 Blogcast: Live and Random via TwitCam.
I'm playing with a new toy called Twitcam here. With this service, I can use my twitter account (@starrwulfe) to broadcast live streams to the twitter world and then archive them later. So what's different about this vs. Qik? Live twitter-powered chat. Others can tweet the broadcast live and leave messages, or in my case, ask me questions about things. So if you have a twitter account and webcam, try it out for a spell. It didn't work to bad IMHO.
