Businessweek writes in Blogs Will Change Your Business:

…the blogs are turning [the world of mass media] on its head. Set up a free account at Blogger or other blog services, and you see right away that the cost of publishing has fallen practically to zero. Any dolt with a working computer and an Internet connection can become a blog publisher in the 10 minutes it takes to sign up.

Well then, let the dolts go to Blogger. The rest of us non-dolts with a working computer and an Internet connection will become blog publishers at BlogHarbor. They do say that blogs are the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself, which the royal we would have to agree with.

More majestic and powerful than the picture conveys.

Me and the little angel enjoy a walk at sunset. Nice camerawork, mama.

This is a great one, the sign on the bathroom at the Fuji
Safari Park said Family Toilet. The concept is supposed to
be a nice sized room where mommy or daddy can change baby, etc. But if
you had no idea, doesn’t it appear on the left that the room is
supposed to be for pregnant mothers and their husbands with bad knees?

Here’s a nice image of a modern Japanese house, at least one in the
countryside. Plexiglass covered carport, and I didn’t notice it when we
passed by but I think that you can spot a solar water heater on the
awning. You see a lot more of that in Japan than in the US.

A new house will be built around the corner from Grandma’s house. I
love the shadow of the clouds on Fujisan in this image.

Sunset on a spring evening…

Yours truly leaves another putt short of the hole. This was such a
beautiful day, clear sky and vivid colors everywhere. One of those days
you’re just like Wow, I am so glad to be alive! Even if I three
putt every hole!

Yes, in Japan you can already reserve and pay for tickets on the Shinkansen
“bullet train” via your keitai denwa (mobile phone). In
America, we will have that sometime in the future. You know,
when we drive to work in our flying
cars.
