I live in the edge of Japan. I always felt like I am so far away from Tokyo and all the fun those incredible web developers are making there. It looks like things are about to change for me now. I wasn't really expecting Robert Sanzalone would bring this much excitement back from his Blognation Japan launch Party held at Shibuya in the last week. I was invited to join Blognation Japan chat room (Skype) and was so nice to meet new people there today. I'm hoping that I can help bridge Robert and those awesome developers. I'm so happy to be a part of this. Thank you, Robert.

It's time to enjoy the ripe fruits in Japan! We have a little persimmon tree in the backyard. I just couldn't ignore to see the orange fruits getting ready to be eaten. If we don't take those, birds are going to have too much fun or they are just going to be rotten. So, we decide to climb up the little tree and have some for ourselves. How are you enjoying the season at your place?

I am helping out launching a website for a band Bashculture. They wanted some words right away so it is there as we are making it live. They were amazed that I was able to set up the website in a few hours. I think all the credit goes to the people who helped to build Drupal to make it so easy to launch a website.

My neighbor, who is from Netherland, teaches English in public schools around here. He started this band with some other English teachers from different countries. This sort of things really excites me. I think it reminds me of good times I spent in my college years in California. Since Kumamoto is almost the tip of Japan, this kind of mixtures of different backgrounds that coming together is not as usual as some other places like Vancouver (very envy).

Tomorrow, I will be visiting their practices and shooting some photos for them. I will be also at their first show which is coming up at the end of this month with a hope I can grab some nice shots of them.

I love music. I am more than happy to help them, and glad to get involved in.

I didn't know China was blocking my website. Somebody accidentally found it and told me so.

• Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China
• Why can I not reach your site or my Dynamic DNS host from China or Hong Kong?

Maybe, it's time to get a domain for this website. Not being able to make friends who are in China sounds suck. Don't you agree?
