The Monster Flower: June 2009
http://monsterflower.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Words of wisdom and inanity from a talking orchid. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Just a quick note to say that I've created and will be working on a new blog. This one is designed to help me track my feelings about leaving Japan. That is, both in terms of what I think I will and won't miss when I leave. If you're interested, it is here. It's also linked to on the right under "The Flower's Features.". Monday, June 29, 2009. I did change just a few things ( Splenda. Canned white peaches rather than fresh ones or...

Japan and Pennsylvania (USA). NEW: What does Obamacare cost? After a sharp spike in the early days of the Obamacare/ACA Open Enrollment, I am going back to trendline. To me, it’s gratifying to have these recurrent visitors, since I have had less time to do internet writing in 2013. Update 4/18/12 – keep on keeping on! What I really appreciate is the constant number of “regulars” over the months – which tracks the graph throughout the last couple years. The trend is still up – thanks to you! You are comme...

Bipalium between the rains | Wild in Japan
https://wildinjapan.wordpress.com/2015/07/16/bipalium-between-the-rains
Take a walk on the wilder side of Japanese suburban life. Bipalium between the rains. July started as a major disappointment – it rained every day for the first eight days of the month. Our grand total of sunshine during that period was 24 minutes! Temperatures dropped to the low twenties, and people were catching colds. Temperature was above 30 C, or of an exercise I did with the army where it got up to 47 C! Problem: “It’s so hot! Solution: “Harden up! Sorry, there doesn’t appear to be a common n...

28 Aug 2016, 6:33pm. I’ve been a big fan. Of reading Kindle ebooks for a while now, but so far I have done all my reading on my iPhone. I bought a couple of the earlier Kindle eReaders but never liked them: the page turning, the form factor, something about them just wasn’t as good. As reading on my phone so I didn’t use them much. Last week though, Amazon were doing a deal. Where the latest Kindle. Was 5,000 yen off, so I picked one up for under 4,000 yen. And that’s what hit me. On there (although 90% ...

I am a mantis from Virginia teaching English in Yakage, Japan. Sunday, April 5, 2009. I read an article. This week that shows how my Dad's world of manufacturing, mine of brain imaging, and computer science Google style are teaming up on neuroscience lately. Industrialized science by robots! Robotic Leica microscopes with glass-slide loaders, barcode readers, and small computers running image-analysis software (that is, statistical pattern recognition algorithms like the ones we use in our fMRI work at P...
