L.A.'s Little Tokyo Gets Wi-Fi

L.A.'s Little Tokyo Gets Wi-Fi 05/13/2004 12:23 PM
A non-profit group is funding a Wi-Fi network in L.A.'s Little Tokyo District: The network will be built by eWAN and the city of L.A. is offering access to light poles and rooftops for the network. Users will pay comparable rates to DSL or cable service. This is an interesting partnership between a community group, the city, and a vendor to offer Internet access in an area that may be underserved....

Harajuku, Tokyo

Harajuku, Tokyo 07/19/2004 06:09 AM
Every Sunday, it's Halloween in Harajuku. Hanging out by the train station at Tokyo's most fashionable district are young women dressed as nurses, but with white faces and a trickle of painted blood dripping from a lip. Men in their late teens or early twenties fidget under huge manes of spiky green hair and layers of black leather.
Some really amazing costumes can be seen here. And by amazing I mean interesting, and by interesting I mean freaky.

Tokyo Damage Report

Tokyo Damage Report 09/01/2004 06:57 PM
Xeni Jardin: The self-described "American Jerk" behind Tokyo Damage Report says "This page is about interesting (meaning, fucked up) things that one can do in Tokyo. punk, visual, cosplay, s/m, gothic, street trends, capsule hotels, bizarre magazines, random subcultures, and bad Engrish. . . . .also it is about tokyo's urban legends: square watermelons, Sanrio condoms, politically incorrect vending machines, etc."

Here, you'll find photos and first-person accounts of odd things in Japan -- like this beauty product expo filled with bizarre gadgets and obliquely degrading experiences. Image at left: "fake treatments helping beautify fake people." Elsewhere, the blogger discusses "PORNO GAME CHEAT CODES" (Link):

"Welcome to REBEL 100. apparently for some guys, not only is it too difficult to have sex with living human females, it's ALSO TOO DIFFICULT TO SCORE WITH THEM IN X-RATED VIDEOGAMES TOO. here is the concept behind rebel 100: guys are getting turned down by PORN."

Here's another winning entry (Link):

"I noticed that JAPANESE PUNKS HAVE THE MOST FESTOONED BUTTS OF ANYONE EVER. Like a middle-aged man. . . as the hair has gotten smaller, the butts have gotten bigger. Consider how many little doodads dangle from the cellphone of a stereotypical schoolgirl. Then multiply that by ten, and turn the cellphone into a denim-and-leather butt, and you have a punk. Today's punks have not just wallet chains and cigarettes in their behinds, but so much booty fashion I had to make a whole glossary (how did I conduct this research? I'll leave the actual process of asking people about their butts to your imagination.)"

Technorati Meetup in Tokyo, 5/27/04,
18:00-21:00 05/25/2004 11:54 AM

After the great fun we had at the Developer's Salon last week, it turns out I'm in Tokyo this week, and Joi Ito and some great folks in Japan have set up a Technorati Meetup for this Thursday. Joi has all the details, but here's the basic scoop:

When: May 27, 2004 18:00-21:00
Where: Tokyo 21c Club, 7th Fl of Marunouchi Building
RSVP: To Kenta Ushijima. We have a 50 person limit, so send your RSVPs in early!

Since we're a young startup, we're picking up the room and incidentals but we're asking for 2000 yen per person to cover refreshments. Looking forward to seeing all of you Kanto bloggers there, and I hope that we can have at least as invigorating and interesting a discussion as we had in San Francisco. I'll be presenting some of the information and results we learned as well. BTW, Here's some links to people who posted about the SF meeting. Great seeing you all, looking forward to the next one, I'll post as soon as we have firm dates/times.

Notes from Tokyo Technorati Meetup

Notes from Tokyo Technorati Meetup 05/31/2004 07:06 PM
When I was in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago, I exchanged email with Sid, a nice guy who recently moved from the US to Tokyo. Here's his report of a Technorati meetup in Tokyo, which has some interesting statistics:

I just moved to Tokyo and saw on Joi Ito's site that he and Dave Sifry, Technorati CEO, were putting on a "Technorati Meetup" on Thursday night at the Marinouchi Building, so I decided to go. It was a fun time, I learned a lot, and they had free Wi-Fi (a rarity in Tokyo), so I was able to update several programs real fast.

Here are some notes from Dave's talk (which Joi translated, although Dave speaks Japanese).

Technorati tracks 2.4 million blogs.

45% haven't posted in three months.

Around 200,000 new blogs are created daily.

About 7 minutes after someone posts a new entry it's indexed by Technorati and searchable

Sifry says blogs are striving for authority, as defined by how many people link to you when you write about things. You may not write the truth or even be correct, but if you're interesting people link to you.

He sees bloggers as commentators on the news and filters on the news, rather than replacing the news ... though blogs are giving big media sites a run for their money on hits and attention (as seen on a chart of hits).

Technorati has an active developers' site with several bindings and sample code of the program for people to use and mutate on their own. "Because if there's one thing I know, it's that you guys are all smarter than me," Sifry says.

An example is a program Joi wrote to send SMS to his phone when someone links to his site. It vibrates every time somebody links to him (and he encourages frequent linking).

Future directions for Technorati: Open reviews, subscribe to keywords and Cosmos filters, discovery & filtering of subscription lists, vote links and geographic search & filtering, which is hard because people have to put in GPS coordinates (applies more to phone blogging). There currently are 11,000 blogs in the geographic database.
