First annual spring festval in Boston is coming up.
I’ve been posting links that I liked at my Posterous page at posterous.daigo.org. Here are the week worth of links:
Memo to self, since I should be keeping track of those things.
I was honored and humble to be part of team that won some great awards this year for my job at the Boston Globe.
The Boston Globe honored with APSE awards
…The Globe also had five top-10 writing awards: Peter Abraham, Amalie Benjamin, Nick Cafardo, Sean Smith, Chad Finn, Daigo Fujiwara, and Javier Zarracina for their work on the injuries the Red Sox sustained in 2010…
Society of New Design, Best of digital design 2011
Two AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
2009 Gerald Loeb Award for business journalism by UCLA Anderson School of Management
Can you believe it? I did it. I was on the Fenway field and touched The Wall. No kidding. I posted this to my Facebook status and my friend from Japan, Hiroshi says “Wow! Was the grass like sponge?” referencing Fever Pitch.
MLB.com reports that there were 53,000 people there. Wow.
The team is horrible right now, but I am always in the camp of if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all…

I been tweeting nonsense since May 19, 2007 (over 4 years, can you believe that?). I put weekly digests of my tweets on my blog, so that I can search for it quicker using my blog’s search function. I tweet awfully a lot about baseball (I am a Red Sox fan), but if you are interested, please follow me at @DaigoFuji. Here are my tweets:

Some stolen base and slide techniques demonstrated by Boston Red Sox’s new (and old*) catcher Kelly Shoppach.
Schoppach has played in more than 460 games in his 7+ year career, and has never stolen bases, nor ever caught steeling, which means this was his first attempt stealing base in his MLB career.
*He was drafted by, and a member of Red Sox till 2005 when he got traded to Indians for Coco Crisp.
Kelly Shoppach now has more stolen bases (1) than Jacoby Ellsbury (0), who is injured and may take 6-8 weeks.
He was awesome that day, though. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI. He also had a good day behind the plate for Josh Beckett, who pitched eight innings of one-run ball.

textsfromhillaryclinton.tumblr.com was awesome. Count me as a fan. And smart that they are stopping while they are ahead. Pretty awesome that Clinton herself submitted her own version of meme.
I’ve been posting links that I liked at my Posterous page at posterous.daigo.org. Here are the week worth of links:
I had this happened. Navigation button that has fixed css position but the hit area doesn’t travel with scroll in iOS Mobile Safari. The person created a test page and also reported the bug to Apple.
Looks like it is a known issue: See 4. Modify code that relies on CSS fixed positioning, found through this discussion thread.
this blog had it documented and has a test page here. in it he suggest
It is possible to prevent this bug simply by making sure that the page loads with content that causes vertical scrolling. For example, you can just put this HTML into your page:
<div id="ios5fix" style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 101%;"></div>Wait a few dozen milliseconds after page load, and you can actually delete this div safely.
This guy Ryan claims that he solved it using similar method
html:: At the end of my container div, i added an empty div, with no height/width<div id="device"></div>
js:: Just before the scroll animation, i give the div height of 200px.
$('#device').css('height', '200px');
immediately on complete of the animation, i take the height away$('#device').css('height', '0px');
Couldn’t fix it today, but I need to look into it further…
The baseball season have started. Not a good start though. They lost the first game (and actually I am updating this later and they have been swept by the Tigers…)
The Red Sox need to get to a fast start this season…

I posted a blog post over at blog.japaneseballplayers.com about the few linkes that I mentioned below.

I’ve been posting links that I liked at my Posterous page at posterous.daigo.org. Here are the week worth of links:
Last week, I attended (actually organized, as well, but that is really just an excuse for me to attend this event ;) ) Boston Baseball Hack Day 2012 at the Boston Globe.
there were over 35 baseball-minded hackers participated, and it was really fun. Read the recap of the event from Boston.com by Matt Pepin: “Clever concepts created at Boston Baseball Hack Day” and on Beta.Boston.com: “Baseball Hack Day Recap”.
Photos are here: my flickr stream, meetup
The project that I worked on, and still; working on is called “state of rivalry” and it, once completed, will have entire history of Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees, as well as other New England team vs New York teams. It was inspired by New York Post’s article right before the Superbowl that we all like to forget about, and Post researched all of Boston vs New York matchup.
I got to meet and work with David Thyresson of Stattleship.com, which is an awesome fun website where you can guess what will happen to the outcome of a game. It’s really good and can’t wait till they have more baseball stuff on that site.
Check out the Boston Globe’s MLB Preview section and Fenway 100 magazine.
I am lucky enough to be involved in the section every year, and I absolutely love it. It is definitely the best part of my job. I have created couple of big web interactive, like this one : Six degrees of Bobby V and Anatomy of the Green Monster. They are both viewable from any mobile devices.
Inside looks like this, with both of my large graphic showing:
Also wrote part of this piece: Bobby Valentine has worked magic before. I feel lucky to have been here for the two baseball-meets-Japanese-in-Boston moments… Daisuke Matsuzaka signing, and now Bobby V signing. I also was lucky enough to go to Japan for Opening Day 2008.
Did I mention that I love my job?
