I expected something like a typical “success story of Mark Zuckerberg” which sounds a bit boring, but I enjoyed the direction which mixes the time line and its speedy story-telling.

How he plans what he wants to do in his brain and quickly wires it up looked really cool…is it geeky impression? He is absolutely intelligent, but […]

Trends?

This blog has started to get more access since I wrote about Kabuki last time. Most of the searching keywords are “Kamejiro”…wow, he is so popular. Usually access is from searching engine or mixi (Japanese social network site) but today I found unfamiliar URL named “kizasi.jp“, so I jumped to that site. It seems they are collecting keywords from a lot of blogs, and makes rankings of what people are interested in. I didn’t know such a website exists. What is “Panic face”…? (Seems it’s the popular keyword right now in Japan) Well, I found this article on the other […]
