I recently went to Osaka to get some official papers from the consulate there.  I made a little trip out of it.  Here are my redacted logs (names and personal information removed):

Free culture, yes or no?

I love free culture.  Free is an ambiguous word in English in a way that it isn’t ambiguous in many other languages.  Our word “free” encompasses the meanings of freedom, rights, and a price tag of $0.00.  Some people in the free culture movement like to distinguish these two meanings, but I see no problem in conflating them.

2011 Lunar Eclipse from Kochi, Japan

Last night my girlfriend and I went to the river to watch the lunar eclipse. The conditions were rather fantastic.  It was happening between 9-11 pm on a Saturday night.  The sky was cloudless, and it was only about 7-9 degrees Celsius out.

Photography Project

Anyone who wants to can participate in this.  It’s quite simple.  Take the following template, fill it in with photographs/images of your taking/making and comment with a link to the finished product.  These are all just size templates and are just ideas.  Optionally you can try to make them all thematically related.

Well here’s draft 2 of the logo.  I like this one better.
