Japanese children's books from 1920s

Japanese children's books from 1920s 08/21/2004 12:55 PM
Xeni Jardin: Click image for full-size. Browsing through this beautiful gallery of children's book illos from the '20s, I keep thinking about the fact that these were all created during a period just before Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's kind of fascinating to look at the art from this period of Japanese history, and consider the fact that the people who remember these books as part of their own child years were around my own age group -- twenty or thirtysomething -- when the bomb dropped and changed everything. Maybe a hundred years from now, some young person will stumble on an "Electric Company" episode and think, "Wow, that's what the 9/11 generation was watching in their diapers." There's some interesting analysis on a subsection of this website. Snip:

"The children in Kodomo no kuni seem to be enjoying the pleasures of modern city life. There are Western-style houses, trains and cars running along busy streets, airplanes flying in the sky, and subways passing beneath a townscape bristling with skyscrapers.

What is different from now is the energy and cheerfulness with which people seemed to be looking forward to the happy future that materialistic prosperity would surely bring."

Maybe those people 100 years ahead will look back on our enthusiasm for technology the same way. Someone in 2104 will take a break from watching Olympic nanorobotic doping scandal coverage on their ocular implants. They'll blink "pause," and browse the BoingBoing archives, and think, "How quaint, how naive. If only those poor fin-de-siecle suckers had stopped at Perl." Li nk to Kodomo no kuni (via MeFi)

Korean Children's View of Japan

Korean Children's View of Japan 06/22/2005 02:59 AM

In this Korean news article, you can see pictures drawn by Korean kids to express how they feel about Japan's recent claims over the Dokdo islet. Disturbing?

If it's any comfort, I was one of those kids myself. I don't remember a specific moment it happened, but the seed of hate was planted deeply. Even now, I can feel it, lodged deep within my heart between pride and shame. Thankfully, the hate is mostly directed against certain people whose behaviors fit the evil profile we were brainwashed to hate. I can only hope today's Korean children feel the same.

Puppy/Polar Bear Children's Fridge

Puppy/Polar Bear Children's Fridge 04/01/2005 09:28 AM

A fridge so adorable that you could just eat it up is really the last thing you want when struggling with your diet [You actually wrote that? —ed.], but for the skinny crowd, Fujitronic makes a series of animal-styled mini-fridges. Available shaped as a polar bear or puppy dog, they feature an on-door LCD which can house a virtual pet to keep you entertained while you wait for your bacon craving to pass. It's unfortunately $400 (plus $120 shipping!) for just 3.2 cubic feet, but it at least features a "conventient [sic] and practical rotary fruit tray" to make up for it.

So the big< /a> news is about Google and libraries. I don't feel the need to comment on this right now, as you can find plenty of other places for that. However, here are a few angles I haven't seen discussed elsewhere in the library blogosphere.

• Librari es and the Internet
  
  "More broadly, the Internet can profoundly improve the relationship between libraries and society. For example, there are two major libraries in my town -- a college library, and a public library. My library card works in both places. I used to favor the college library, because there was open WiFi access there -- which meant, among other things, that I could use LibraryLookup from my laptop to find books in the stacks. Recently, though, the college shut down its open access point. And from an IT administrator's point of view, I can understand why. Not long after, the public library installed an open access point. So now it's my favorite spot, and lately I notice other mobile professionals congregating there too." [Jon Udell's Weblog
  (Click over to read Jon's story about getting locked in the library, too!)


• "A quick calculation using the figures above suggests an average scan rate of 3200 volumes per day (assuming 365 days/year for 6 years) at the University of Michigan site alone." [Tito Sierra on the WEB4 LIB mailing list]


• "An even quicker calculation shows that they will need to digitize 2.25 books _a_minute_, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year to digitize 7 million volumes in six years." [Roy Tennant on the WEB4 LIB mailing list]

It's times like this when I wish Karen Coyle had< /a> a blog.

Gathering at Children's Hospital blood
donation center this evening

Gathering at Children's Hospital blood
donation center this evening 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

Some friends and I are gathering at Children's Hospital at 5:30 pm to donate blood.  I thought I'd invite local readers of this blog to show up as well.  The center tends to be less busy after 4 pm and you can walk in any time up until around 6:30 pm (they close at 7 and the process takes about 30 minutes).  You get free parking in the Children's garage (across the street), a T-shirt, and name-brand snacks.  The technicians at Children's are much more skilled than the Red Cross staff (i.e., you won't have holes in your arms) and the environment is much more pleasant than a university blood drive.  Finally this saves Children's Hospital from having to pay the Red Cross $200 for a pint of blood and cuts out a lot of middlemen.

[Remember that having lived for extended periods of time in England or other mad-cow areas is disqualifying as is having been to a malarial region in the last year (even places you might not think of as malarial, such as rural China).  Statistical risk factors for HIV infection are also disqualifying.  Call the number listed on http://www.ch ildrenshospital.org/help/donate.html if you're in doubt.]
