in an iPod world

there are more blogs in Japanese than in English

Washington Post has an interesting story about Japanese blogging. It is worth watching this video. One thing stuck in my mind. "While Americans often blog to stand out, Japanese blog to fit in."

My office in Second Life

My students and I started constructing some buildings on our island. We built open-air classroom and an office. They got rug, a bookcase, desk and chairs for the office. They even hung a sign that says, "Future office of Youngjin Yoo". The classroom is still under construction. But we have enough chairs to have students to come and sit.
