Hand-held Productivity with the iPod Touch
I originally bought an iPod touch to use as an electronic dictionary for Japanese. I’ve been quite satisfied with Kotoba, a free Japanese-English dictionary application. Ever since I moved to Japan, I’ve been keeping my iPod touch in my pocket at all times to help with all the Japanese around me. Due to the fact […]

Life in Japan – Part 4
Well, my 3 month stay in Japan is almost over. It’s a bit sad to be leaving so soon. I’ve become really accustomed to living here and I want to spend more time with the great friends I’ve met. And I still have a long ways to go with learning Japanese. After my last post, […]

A Critique of Anarchism
Many people dismiss anarchism as a terrible idea without giving it a fair chance. I think this is because there is some misunderstanding about the meaning of “anarchy”.
