Visiting the old capital

Visiting the old capital 06/17/2005 05:09 PM
Ever since I blogged about the anti-Japanese protests in China, I have been having a dialog with a number of people about Japanese history. One of my Chinese friends recommended "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan" (Herbert P. Bix) for a more objective and critical view of the Emperor's role in the War. I am reading the book now. I believe this book does a great job of uncovering a fairly systematic coverup by the US occupation and the Japanese media of the role of the Emperor in World War II. However, I do think that Bix tends to makes some conclusions based on the facts he uncovers that I would not necessarily agree with. It is, in any case, a very good book for anyone interested in Japan to read.

With this fresh in my mind, I visited Kyoto, my home town, and was amazed at just how much Japanese tradition is organized around the Emperor. The Emperor went though various levels of influence in the governing of the nation, but has remained in place for 125 generations. Regardless of his level of influence, the Emperor has been the center of most of Japanese culture. Kyoto, for instance, is divided into the "Right Kyoto" and the "Left Kyoto". This has nothing to do with East or West, but is the right or left side of the city when viewed from the Emperor. The bullet train "climbs" from Kyoto to Tokyo (the new capital) toward the Emperor and any road that points away from the Emperor is pointed "down". All kinds of symbols and names allow you to understand exactly what each Temple's relationship to the royal family is. Maybe it was just our guide, or maybe it was that I was sensitized, but I think he talked about the Emperor in almost every explanation he made.

I question whether we should still have an Emperor in Japan and I believe that the facts about the Emperor's involvement in the war should be more publicly known. However, I wonder how the cultural foundation of Japan will change if the Emperor and the royal family were removed.

I　have Flickr'ed the trip.

Dell Sells Samsung Q30 as Latitude X1

Dell Sells Samsung Q30 as Latitude X1 03/30/2005 02:03 PM

Dell surprised me today with the announcement of the Latitude X1 Ultraportable, better known around these parts as the Samsung Q30. Dell licensed the design from the Korean manufacturer and is selling it through their site starting at $1,700. It's a fine bit of laptop, with a 1.1GHz Pentium M, sealed anti-spill keyboard and all the fixins'. It's not quite as nice looking as the Samsung model with that dour Dell grey, but who cares? This is a great little laptop for a very reasonable price. It might even miss the Dell laptop curse, too, and stand more than 12 months of abuse.

Visiting every tube stop in Zone 1

Visiting every tube stop in Zone 1 07/09/2004 05:19 AM
Ewan, a Scotsman living in London, is moving back to Edinburgh, and before he does, he has resolved to visit every tube station in Zone 1, and he's inviting the general public along on his tube-crawl:

Here's the deal, I'll be starting at 12.30 on a weekday in the last week of July (probably Friday the 30th July, but don't quote me just yet). If you'd like to join me as I rattle round Central London and visiting every station of note (and Hyde Park Corner) then make sure you're at Vauxhall Ticket Office for around 12.20 to find me.

Anyone wishing to set up a Rival team to try and beat me on the day is more than welcome, I'd only ask you to also start at Vauxhall with us. Once it's all over, we'll retire to a pub at around 4pm for a late lunch/early dinner, some farewell drinks, and I'll invite you all to the housewarming in Edinburgh.

In roughly 3 weeks, I'll be traveling to Bangalore, India to speak about MySQL at Linux Bangalore/2003 and to spend some time at Yahoo's Software Development Center (SDC) doing some training and hanging out with the crew there. Getting there involves some long-ass flights (stopping in Frankfurt), but it should be very worthwhile. Now, I've never been to India before, so I'd appreciate any travel and cultural tips that might be helpful to a visiting American. Also, if you happen...

Sanchez, the senior U.S. military officer in Iraq, borrowed heavily from a list of high-pressure interrogation tactics used at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and approved letting senior officials at a Baghdad jail use military dogs, temperature extremes, reversed sleep patterns, sensory deprivation, and diets of bread and water on detainees whenever they wished, according to newly obtained documents.
