Reading for the third time. As much about life as about Japan and teaism. Written over 100 heras ago. Amazing yet simple insights. Reading now on the train to Nagasaki.

 I just put this Animoto slideshow together in a few minutes. The snaps are from two gigs we did in May (you'll see the two young women who took the photos during the slideshow -- they are huge jazz fans. Great to see 18-year old college freshmen dig jazz so much). The music was recorded on a FLIP video camera and was used here for the sound track. So those are our pics and our music (recorded on a cheap video device). For $3 USD you can make a longer slideshow like this. YouTube does not do justice to the quality of course here, but the video looks better on Animoto. You can even download a version to QT when you create your video (and you can get a higher quality DVD version for $5). Wow -- I am blown away by Animoto.

 This slideshow on Animoto: http://snipurl.com/iv6em And you can make your own 30-second video for free. Very cool stuff! This kind of thing used to take a gazillion years. Now: bam! ...and it's done.

 Very low-rez, but perhaps this gives you a feel for the atmosphere at a Tigers game. A lot of fun as usual. Baseball is Japan's national game -- they love it! And the atmosphere at a Hanshin game (Koshien Stadium is near Kobe) is the best.
