May Mr. Arthur Clarke's soul rest in peace.
By the way, talking about death, I found this today '30 Strangest Deaths in History.'
Ha! 'www' what is this? Of of course, it is world wide web right? But on the Internet research, 43.1% of people in their 30s and 61.2% of people in their 20s, in general 47% of Japanese internet users replied 'it is a big laugh'. Of course I thought it was world wide web. Okay, I am not in my 20s actually wwww.。。Anyway, do only Japanese use the www mark as laughing? We use www as a big laugh and (w as a small cynical laugh.
This is a movie of 'Big Dog' that is a walking robot with four legs. Great? Looks weird? As a robot fetishist, I am very impressed at his hard working. (Especially the scene of walking on ice! It almost made my tears come up.) I read the Pentagon supported this project, and maybe it would be made for military purposes. But since it's so cute, I hope they give it something like 'a head' and I wish they remade it as a pet robot.
Yasumasa Morimura is a Japanese artist. His art work is a self portrait that inserts his own face and body into other's portrait on photos or paintings. Here is the official site and this site has some actress series. Interesting! It's not an issue of fake or unique, he seems to get into each character and something new appears on the work.
UNICLO will release the boys' comic 'Shonen Sunday' and 'Shonen Magazine' T-shirt for their 50th anniversary. We can buy old manga character T-shirts. It'll be interesting for the US or UK or other countries that UNICLO has such collaboration. I hope US UNICLO will make Hanna Barbera T-shirts. I want a The Herculoids one (I loved it). In London, how about collaborating with tube posters? Their ads are great. When I visited London, I got always a lot of postcards of those ads.
I use Vista at home. Actually I hate it, I want to delete programs as quickly as I install them. Why is this so troublesome!! By the way, this is a toilet paper with the Vista function guide. You can study about Vista in the bathroom! After learning, wipe your 'ass' and down the toilet. :-p
Yasumasa Morimura is my favorite Japanesse artist. I appreciate his work.

Nice! Didn't know that! Why "www" for laughing?

Windows Vista toilet paper -- I had to laugh at this. I program Microsoft .Net systems, but all of my colleagues and I hate Vista.
Well, I have one very young colleague who likes it, but he admits that he's a Microsoft "fanboy." He even bought a Microsoft Zune.
