The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (their style guide prefers you call them that) is shocked-SHOCKED that the gay community is holding them accountable for the passage of Proposition 8. "It is disturbing that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is being singled out for speaking up as part of its democratic right in a free election", a statement from the Church reads. And truth be told, the gay community ...

北京オリンピックのときだったと思うが、ロシアがグルジアに侵攻した（もちろん、ロシアはそうは発表していないが）。これについて、あまり日本のマスコミは熱心に取り上げなかったように思う。数々のメディアを（僕にしては珍しく熱心に）探したけれど、非常に冷めた目で書かれていて、情報も少なく、また、より多くの情報を求めよう、という気迫も見られなかった。何故なのだろう？ たぶん、2008年という年号はこの出来事とともに記憶されるくらい、世界史に残る大事件だったのではないか、というのが僕の印象なのだが。 一番びっくりしたのは、アメリカが事実上なにもできなかった（に等しかった）こと、そして、ヨーロッパも黙っていた（に等しかった）こと。もちろん、これから、ロシアの行為に対してなんらかの評価が下されるものとは思うけれど、こんなことが今の時代に許されるのか、とびっくりしたし、また、そういった力関係なのだな、ということも理解（あるいは再認識）した。たとえば、ヨーロッパがロシアにエネルギィ依存しているとか、アメリカには既に世界の警察であり続ける力がないとか。これは、冷戦が終わってからこれまでの世界の構図を明らかに塗り替えるもので、新しい時代になったことを認識しなくてはいけないだろう、と（遅ればせながら）気づいた。「ああ、そうだったんだ」という感じである。 アメリカの大統領が替わるけれど、もうアメリカが世界唯一の大国である時代は完全に終わったようだ。経済的にももちろん、軍事的にもそういうことらしい。こうなると、日本は、安全保障をどう考えるのか、今はかなり難しい局面なのではないか、と心配する。アメリカは日本よりも中国を重視する、なんてマスコミが予測しているが、そんなのは、とうに当たり前の状況である。 日本は、アメリカよりも、ロシアに地理的には近い。隣国の１つなのだ。あまりにロシアに対して無関心なのではないか、と感じた。

David Katz, photographer for Obama for America, took an amazing series of candid photos of Obama and his family on election night. They’re up on Flickr. Viva transparency. Perhaps an Obama Twitter feed will be the 21st century’s “fireside chat.” We’ve heard about that new New Deal. Thanks Sebastian.

My living Grandmother won’t read this post, unless my mom prints it out for her and hands it to her in person –actually a common practice in my family. A few weeks ago, I had a phone conversation with Grandma, we talked of politics, and how many companies would not hire Asians when she was my age, and of course, my favorite topic, the internet. She still lives in a print world, but is very ...

The Samsonite OBAG is a rolling suitcase in which the two compartments remain level with the ground while the unit is pulled along. Because, let's face it, dizzy clothes are unhappy clothes. It can also easily be dragged up stairs or thrown down an elevator shaft. Unfortunately, high maneuverability comes at a cost: namely storage space. There isn't any. You might as well just pack a tire instead -- that's what I do. Leaves my ...

Andy McKay responded to my post on his own blog, something I appreciate because much of what he said is right in line with where my head is at right now. I’m finding myself moving away from recommending Plone to clients, even in a situation where Plone’s features are exactly what they need. A large number of competent and happy integrators is key to Plone, without them it will wither at either end as it ...
