  • Cherry Blossoms in Shinjuku Gyoen

    Shinjuku Gyoen Sakura Photoset On Sunday, April 1st, the weather suddenly became beautiful, despite earlier predictions of rain. My friend Risa and I decided on the spur-of-the-moment to head over to the Shinjuku Gyoen National Park (新宿御苑) for some Cherry Blossom Viewing. It is hard to think of anything more traditionally Japanese than a good […]

  • Sakura on the walk home

    The other day, while walking home from Jiyugaoka, I was struck by how pretty the Sakura were on the main shopping street. I snapped a few pictures, and of course since the weather was nice there were lots of people lined up for Crepes at the cute little crepe stand. There were also some nice […]

    Dragon’s Hole Pond Entire Ishiyama-dera photo set on Flickr.com After the Japanese Natural Language Processing Conference, I had a few hours before returning to Tokyo, so I went to the nearby Ishiyama temple, which is said to be where the Japanese author Murasaki began writing the Tale of Genji. It is a really beautiful temple, […]

  • Installing Retexturizer plugin for Gimp on OSX

    Resynthesizer is an amazing plugin for the Gimp, an amazing open-source photo editing program. Since I usually run OSX, I like to use Gimp.app, but it does not include the Resynthesizer plugin. Gimpshop, a version of Gimp modified to be more like photoshop, is supposed to include Resynthesizer, but the version that I downloaded did […]

  • Kaiser Chiefs

    Thursday night Risa and I had tickets to see Kaiser Chiefs. The crowd was again very lively, and pretty packed. As with most of the concerts I’ve gone to in Japan, the crowd for English and American bands was 60% female, maybe a bit more. The keyboardist for the group, “Peanut”, really reminded me of […]

  • Review of Wataya Risa’s “Keritai Senaka” / 綿矢リサの「蹴りたい背中」

    Winner of 2003 Akutagawa Prize Wikipedia page on Wataya Risa Excerpt of translation by Morgan G. A few weeks ago, I finished reading Wataya Risa’s second novel, 『蹴りたい背中』 (“The back I wanna kick”). For me, it was a minor milestone: it was the first Japanese novel that I have read in Japanese. I’ve studied the […]

  • A Scanner Darkly

    I watched A Scanner Darkly this weekend. I really liked the rotoscoped-style look of the movie. I’m a big fan of Philip K. Dick, but I haven’t read all of his stuff. I’ve never read A Scanner Darkly, so I was quite confused up until near the end of the movie, and then predictably, as […]

  • IO Data LCD-TV241XBR LCD monitor with linux

    Ever since I came to Japan a year ago, I’ve wanted to get some sort of display device that was HD-capable and larger-format than the 15″ display on my ThinkPad A31p. Generally, I only watch a little bit of TV, some NHK news in the morning and evening, but I watch a lot of TV […]
