Ask a Ninja : What is a Podcast

So FUNNY! If you're over the age of 12, you may have asked this question.

I couldn't get through the whole thing without laughing out loud! I LOVE this guys logical rambling.

Wacky Weather Hi-Jinks!

 
What strange weather. On the top, it says "COLD SNOW" in the windshield of my car.
On the bottom you see a picture taken 8 hours later!!!! And it was all GONE! No trace of snow left! What wacky weather

When I see people play like this, I start to wish I could...

Seriously, this is an amazing piece of music. I found this through a friend of mine's blog: http://esspress.blogspot.com Thanks Mon!

Turn up the volume people. It's moving. Listen to it to the end. It's worth it.

Accepting new things...

One thing about Japan that I think is really cool is that they're open to change. In a big way. About 10 years ago, Coca-cola changed the formula of Coke to taste better (sweeter and with less acidic bite, like Pepsi). Well, when they did, despite blind taste tests proving that people overwhelmingly liked the new flavor better, they had a nationwide boycott and a huge revolt. The people were incensed that Coca-cola actually had the audacity to change their "American icon." In Japan, people would probably think, well, the new product is probably better and hey, it's been improved.

It's ironic, that a nation with 1000s of years of history is ready to accept the next new thing, while a 200 year old nation tenaciously clings to whatever young history it has. Something that's over 50 years old in "the new world" is considered old, over 100 years is ancient, over 150 years... well, that's a relic.

And if you don't believe me, this video will have Ronald turning in his grave.

Isn't Japan cool?

Japanese Rodeo Exercise Machine

First, there was the Ab-Roller, then the Abdominizer, then the Ab-matical... now they've moved onto the Glutes (The butt)... The Glute-anizer!?

Well, if you're in Japan and you want to get a stronger butt, wait no longer...

Have Kids' shows gotten cuter?

One of the things that I love about Britain is intelligent pre-school kids shows. Yes, you heard that right. Anyway, one of the cuter ones is Pocoyo, which in Spanish apparently means "little me" or something. Cute.
