Apparently in Japan, you can watch highlights of MLB baseball games on YouTube. The URL for MLB.jp channel is youtube.com/mlbglobal, but when accessed from US, you get “This channel is not available in your country.” Bummer. Of course, there are ways, but you didn’t hear that from me. ;) Speaking of YouTube and Japanese baseball, [...]
Bad week for the Red Sox. Playoff hopes gets slimmer by day, by loss.
Twitter update this week was mostly about Red Sox, but there was a Gyroball talk, which is awesome. I also went to Public Media Camp Boston this week, and was very interesting and inspiring.
I was a computer game geek in Japan when I was growing up (why isn’t that a surprise?). I played lots of Nintendo – was so called Family Computer, or FamiCon to be short – and also played games on PC-88 at my friend’s house. I didn’t own a PC, but I sure spend a [...]

Another [...]
In the process of updating my daily “Itadakimasu” blog, I was looking up correct spelling of Banh Mi (I always think that “h” is before “n,” like “John,” but obviously, I am always wrong) and came across this NYTimes piece “Building on Layers of Tradition “. I came across the graphic above, it was so [...]
This week’s tweets included me finally figuring out what the guy in the stand selling was saying on TV during the Red Sox games (“Hey, get a cold bud light!”) at Fenway, and quote from Roberto Clemente, which I saw on the signature of a person from SABR mailing list (I think). Clemente, a rightfielder [...]
