But as I follow my baseball news, I have noticed a lot of stories about what baseball players are doing about this terrible natural disaster. [...]

Iron Chef! (What I tweeted: Jan 16)

Really liking this book that I am reading now, Heat by Bill Buford. Makes me hungry by reading it. I’d love to go to his restaurant Babbo by Mario Batali – photo on right, from BusinessWeek(located at 110 Waverly Place, at the northwest corner of Washington Square Park in New York’s Greenwich Village).

Translating Japanese (or any other language, for that matter) is hard.

I did a very quick search on [...]
