I went to the RAKUGO today.
The RAKUGO is one of the traditional entertainment of Japan. It's too hard to explain the RAKUGO with my English language skill. So more information please refer wikipedia (^^;

It was a solo performance association of Mukashiya Imamatsu shisho. He is a my friend who I occasionally enjoy alcohol in Shinjuku with.
It was exactly great what I was hoping for.

1. RAKUGO is in the Kanji character.
   
2. Mukashiya Imamatsu is in the Kanji character.
   
3. Shisho is in the Kanji character that means great master of RAKUGO performer.

I'm into Web technology recently. Especially, the Ajax technology is very interesting.

So I made the X-fade site logo function as study of Ajax.
I used famous prototype and script.aculo.us as a library. This can be very improved !

I had liked it so I used this function for this Web site.

If I have free time, I will describe how to use this function on my tools page for RapidWeaver user. Please wait if you like this !

The Origami project was announced today from Microsoft.
The Origami means a paper folding in Japanese. I think Microsoft considered that most important customer is Japanese so they decided the name of this project to Origami. (I heard the idea of other name was Haiku. The haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables.) I was awfully disappointed.

The "Origami" is ...

• It's too big for mobile music player.
  
• It's too small for mobile PC with keyboard.
  
• And it's too expensive.
  

Who buys such a halfway gadget ?
We have SONY VAIO (especially Type T). It's small and light enough. Also we have SONY PSP too.
I wonder why Microsoft concentrate on this kind of gadget.
