In the office at all the previous places I worked, when somebody comes to talk to me it's not my face they are looking at (yeah probably find me too ugly) but my computer screen. I don't happen to do the same thing when I talk to other people. Something I did recently was install the blue screen of...
I'm a highly asynchronous individual. What the heck does that mean, you say? One of the ways this shows up is in my approach to mental activities (programming, writing, etc.): as soon as I reach a point where I take a mental "pause", I switch to another activity to fill that pause, pushing the other...
I think a very damaging myth has been spread around the world for a very long time. And it’s still being spread: Whatever people choose to do in their private lives is just their business. This myth preaches more than just tolerance and understanding of all people’s behavior—which I believe we...
Hindsight is 20/20. Everyone knows that. Hence, I've come to a conclusion. I should have been terrible. I should have done stupid shit, and lied, and went on my merry way. I should have given myself a reason to feel bad. It's not like I didn't have the opportunity.. that is, if I really wanted to...
Dear readers of Hi Tricia, hello again! I've been traveling around the world for two months and finally am now back in the states. I have lots of posts to write about my work and play in India, China and Sweden - and some cities in between - but honestly i've been so overwhelmed with all the stories...

Hello my fellow Voxers, today I am going to talk about our personal privacy in the web realm. Michelle Solange started a conversation last week and now I have finally something to add. A couple of days ago a group of Greek bloggers were invited by Greek members of the European Parliament to attend a...
After watching Michael Wesch's Web 2.0 Video on "The Machine is Us/ing Us" I realized that all of these social networks, blogs, youtube, etc are more than communication of the future; it is our (ALL OF US WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT) new way of thinking. A more flexible culture that doesn't have to...
in front of the whole world for an event broadcast on all networks (plus half a dozen other private channels), I would expect someone to call bullshit on me. OK, yeah, I can understand wanting to have your family at the event. But the way those kids are being used to "humanize" doesn't seem...
Monday morning, as I sat down to enjoy a cup of coffee, I clicked on the T.V. and happened upon 'The View'. I love this show, because it's four women, on national television, sharing their views about relevant topics. As I listened to their discussion on the current political race happening, the...
[I "stole" this photo from vashopaholic's blog as I simply could not let it leave my life. It's a very special photo for me]. I absolutely love this photo. It takes me back to my youth. The train tracks were an integral part of my life simply because they were across the road and down over the...
Found this clip on Youtube. Hidden message behind video: Do you think Google is watching you? For some background information with regards to privacy on the Internet, there's a good article here. Personally i feel that internet privacy is a shared responsibility between the user and the various...
The more I "grow up," the more I realize I have to start truncating my Web 2.0 Junkie status. Which sucks. I feel weird about my students emailing me about things that don't involve conjugations but conjugal mishaps or whatever. And I have two new classes of students this upcoming fall. Plus I start...
This weekend I attended this small party to celebrate the engagement of my Japanese female friend (the lucky guy's a Kiwi and they are moving outside of Japan this fall). I was just enjoying my drink and chatting with a few people I know when this woman came up to me and was like, "Kimura-san!...

I am currently keeping up to date with what's being released in tech gadgets lately, because I am thinking to: replace my mobile phone buy a new point and shoot, and perhaps, a new Mac notebook. But then, I thought to wait some months more since I'm not in such a hurry and new gadgets get released...
These are the things I'm likely to post and who will probably be permitted to view them. Most of the time, I'll let people choose what they want to read. If you want to read FAMILY posts, please send me a message and we'll talk about it. :) ANYONE - some snips of my writing - posts about writing in...
Two of the things I value most in my life are freedom and privacy. My personal and political opinions are based, in large part, on these two core principles. In my view, freedom and privacy are closely related, overlapping ideas. Following are some rambling thoughts on these concepts. I believe that...
