Dokdo is
a small Korean islet which Japan continues
to argue ownership over. This week Shimane Prefecture
assembly passed a
bill claiming Takeshima (Japanese
name for Dokdo) as a part of Shimane Prefecture.
Shimane Prefecture officials and assemblymen made a grave
mistake. If their
intention was to bring more attention to fishing rights problem,
they certainly got
it in the worst way possible.
Japanese government also made the stupid mistake of underestimating
how intensely
Koreans feel about Dokdo. While most Japanese are ambivalent
about Dokdo, 99%
of Koreans feel very strongly about Dokdo.
If you find it difficult to understand why Koreans are so upset
over a pointless bill
passed by Japanese prefacture over a pile of rocks, just ask the
person next to you
to kick you between the legs and then ask yourself why you are
rolling on the ground.

Xinhua, China's state run news agency makes it clear what China's
position in the
dispute is. Here is an excerpt from Chosun newspaper
(couldn't find an english
version of the Xinhua article):
When we look at history, Dokdo
has been recorded as Korean territory since 512 A.D., while
Japan began considering
it Japanese territory from 1905... - Xinhua News Agency
While China has their own territorial dispute with Japan and the
current Chinese government
has been accused of rewriting history just like Japan, my own bias
tells me they are
being truthful here.

An interesting Russian
news article about Dokdo. Also, Korean
fighter jets had to scramble to warn a Japanese military jet away
from Dokdo on the day Japan's Shimane prefecture passed the
Takeshima bill.
Apparently, Japan's ultra-conservatives are keeping themselves busy
fighting not only
Korea but also China and Russia.
I forgot to mention that 2005 is the Japan-Korea Friendship
Year. As the popular
saying goes, who needs enemies when you have friends like this?

Marley's 'Legend' turns twenty:
"Legend'' is unique because it's become more than just
music. It's an idea, a lifestyle, a web of cultural touchstones spun
in a delicate vortex. In the realm of
musical-taste-as-statement-of-personal-identity, "Legend''
says: I generally care about world events. I favor cotton clothing. I
think stress is bad. I want to stop injustice. I'm all for love. I
wouldn't say no to the herb, if you get my drift. Urban legend diffusion

Mizuka just asked me if I had heard about some guy who was busted
for making tons of money trading stocks who claims to be a
time-traveler. The story was that he would show them the time-machine
if they let him go. She said her Japanese friends were talking about
it. I laughed and checked Google News with an assortment of keywords
with no results. I wandered over to #joiito
. Soon enough nichlas came up with a link to
a WWN article from March, 2003 about the story. Just as I was
wondering if this was something to blog about, KevinMarks page-slapped
us with the snopes.com entry
from April 2003 debunking the story.
I would really love to see the path that this silly story took over
the last 1 1/2 years to get from WWN to me via the Japanese girls
gossip network.

Misspelling
07/21/2004 08:14 PMHTTP/1.1: Header Field Definitions: Did you ever wonder why the
HTTP_REFERER header is missspelled? (You did know that "referrer" is actually
spelled with two "r"'s, right?)
It turns out that the misspelling harkens back to the HTTP spec, as
linked above.
That link is to the 1.1 spec, but in a fit of curiosity, I went
looking to see how far back the misspelling went. The earliest I
found it was in RFC
1945 from June 1996. Can anyone document it earlier than
this?

sufficiently alienated the majority of the population so that it could

astronaut, Pedro Duque writes "I am writing these notes in
the Soyuz with a cheap ballpoint pen. Why is that important? As it
happens, I've been working in space programmes for seventeen years,
eleven of these as an astronaut, and I've always believed, because
that is what I've always been told, that normal ballpoint pens don't
work in space... and here I am, it doesn't stop working and it doesn't
'spit' or anything. Sometimes being too cautious keeps you from
trying, and therefore things are built more complex than
necessary." From
Snopes:
Fisher spent over one million dollars in trying to perfect the ball
point pen before he made his first successful
pressurized
pens in 1965, which NASA uses.

The Legend of Dixie Square Mall
The Legend of Dixie Square Mall
04/19/2005 03:47 AM
Dixie
Square Mall , in the mostly-blighted "inner ring" Chicago suburb of Harvey, Illinois, opened
in 1966. It suffered gradual decline, until it closed in 1978. A
year later, film crews gave the mall a brief makeover and Jake and Elwood Blues drove through the place. Then,
nothing. For 20-plus years, the mall sat and decayed. Renovation plans (even a planned baseball stadium for the White Sox) were popular over the years, but never panned out. In 1993, a rape and murder took place in the JC Penney's
space.
From
space, the mall looks beat up. From the ground, it looks
even
worse
. Human fascination with deserted space has borne a number of websites<
/a> and spelunking trips (along with
some excellent then-and-now comparisons
), and a documentary is
apparently in the works. Finally, at long last, there
's renewed
hope for the site. Previously seen here and here.

A new study from the Kennedy School pinpoints what happened between
Big Media and the blogs in the case of Trent Lott. It does not
portray weblogs as lead actor, but as reactor to a story that
almost disappeared. A certain receptivity in the bloggers allowed
judgment in the press to correct itself.

Following up on last week's BoingBoing post about a vintage, X-rated,
Disney-inspired comic for auction on eBay (
Link to post), BoingBoing reader Mercutio writes:
An entry on LJ prompted me to look at Boing Boing entry concerning the
sale of Disney parody/porn on Ebay. Thought you'd appreciate knowing
that Disney animators actually made an orgy scene using characters
from Snow White.
I once worked at Facets Multimedia, an art movie house in Chicago.
During the mid 1980s, I attended a lecture by famous animator Seamus
Culhane. Mr. Culhane had worked for Fleischer, Disney and Warner
Brothers at different times. And he was an animator on Snow
White. (Mr. Culhane was fired by Walt Disney for trying to
organize an independent union - but that's another
story.)
During his talk, Mr. Culhane was asked if there had ever been any porn
created that was like the famous picture from The Realist
[Ed. Note: the "Disney porn" image auctioned last week on
eBay]. He answered that, yes, the work was so long that the
animators got bored and created very explicit orgy scene sketches and
cells. He further said that when Walt Disney heard what was going on,
he personally hunted down and burned all of the objectionable
material.
Thought you'd like to hear this story. I don't know if Mr. Culhane or
any other animators were ever quoted in a new source about this
episode in Disney history.
