		<description><![CDATA[Found this article: Pandas and Lobsters: Why Google Cannot Build Social Applications&#8230;. It was linked from wired article, which I found through Pinyadda. The article accurately describes why I like those applications. I didn&#8217;t know terms like bacn (which is an email that you subscribed but don&#8217;t read, better than spam &#8211; I have lots [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whoa. I thought, by translating Daisuke Matsuzaka interview on the Magazine Friday, I was passing on a good news (Matsuzaka admits his wrong doing last year and will come back in 2010 with something to prove). But it turns out that it was first time the club lerned about the injury (yikes), and he may [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am now reading my favorite author, Haruki Murakami&#8217;s &#8220;Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman&#8221; in English language. The translation is very good, and it is always fascinating to think about how publisher&#8217;s decide which Japanese book to be published in US, and which US books to go to Japan. I did a very quick search on [...]]]></description>

(Update) If you can&#8217;t see the video below, they are also on the YouTube in three parts. Part 1/3, Part 2/3, and Part 3/3.

		<description><![CDATA[I know its minor thing, but this is bothering me&#8230; I&#8217;ve seen this Getty photo on many websites, even in mlb.com, sportsline.com and St. Petersburg Times, labeled as D-ray&#8217;s new third baseman Akinori Iwamura, taken at last spring&#8217;s World Baseball Classic tournament. The problem is, It is not Iwamura. It is actually Chiba Lotte Marines&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who knew. In today&#8217;s Boston Globe&#8217;s Living Arts section, there is a really nice article about 26-years-old Japanese street art/graffiti artist, Kenji Nakayama. You can also hear him and see his work on the boston.com slideshow. Seems like a interesting guy and really cool art. There are lots of talented Japanese/Japanese American in this area.
