The one and only Prof. Breen chimed in yesterday (thank you!) about the strange RSS feed at TJP. Right now the front RSS button only feeds blogs and group posts. This isn’t very useful and Phreadom (our super admin) quickly installed a RSS feed for the forums.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work with many feed [...]
There is a new online Japanese music store on the horizon. It’s called HearJapan and has a nifty torii/music note logo (see left). But that’s not all; it also has music I hear.
It’s a bit exclusive and very beta right now, but I’ve been given a coupon code for people to take a [...]
Way back in college a friend introduced me to P.D.Q. Bach. For those who haven’t heard of this particular son of Johann Sebastian Bach, allow me to explain.*
Professor Peter Schickele has made it his life’s work (four decades) to educate the public about Bach’s most forgotten son. A tribute to musical history, Professor [...]
First, sorry for not posting so far this week. I could tell you all about how I was kidnapped by aliens and forced to eat natto whilest, and at the same time, listening to rap music, but the truth is I was hoping to finish a video I was working on yesterday before posting. [...]
Your regularly scheduled Japanese related posts will resume after this short break…
I want to make the most out of the advertising I allow on my sites. While I don’t like to clutter the pages with advert after advert, I also don’t want to lose money on hosting fees. And with an ever busy [...]

If you are a technology news junkie, you may want to check it [...]
Dave Barry the humor columnist, who by the way is running for President, has a week-to-week blog on the latest 24 news:

Glad to know he has good taste on television.
In case you haven’t read his material, you may want to read Dave Barry Does Japan. I especially like his description of kanji…
Just so you [...]
I’ve been reading a blog called emonetized.com:
The author is Tim Schroeder who in his About page has this to say:
I’ve been making a six-figure living online for the last 4 years and dabbling with various internet business projects for the last 10 years. It was always a dream of mine to work for [...]
In an earlier post, I mentioned I’d let you know if the videos on Revver actually earned any money. This morning, it says I have earned .67 cents.
The above table shows which videos worked the hardest. This is pretty nice considering I wasn’t planning on getting even a cent for any of the videos and [...]
Satchmo’s A Kiss to Build a Dream on is probably my favorite of his songs and certainly in my top 10 all time. (I take that back - Sugar with Bing Crosby has to be my favorite!) In his most heard recording, instead of “Gimme your lips for just a moment” the last verse [...]
