"Made in Japan: What Makes Manga Japanese? And Why Western Kids Love It"

Posted Wed, 11/21/2007 - 22:10 by John Breslin

Since I'm interested in manga through running the boards.jp / Manga to Anime site, I found out about a talk when I was in Tokyo last week entitled "Made in Japan: What Makes Manga Japanese? And Why Western Kids Love It".

Day 1 (or at least half of it) at the Web 2.0 Expo Tokyo

After much fupping searching of bags, bodies and shoes and confiscating of my soft drinks in Busan Airport, I made it to the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya this afternoon for the Web 2.0 Expo Tokyo where I attended some of today's events. (I missed this morning's English-language sessions unfortunately; I was looking forward to the ones with Joi Ito and Tim Bray.)

EirtaKon 2005 - A Resounding Success

Posted Mon, 11/14/2005 - 16:27 by John Breslin

I think it is fair to say that EirtaKon 2005 was an amazing event, and that the numbers that attended far exceeded any expectations that Art_Wolf, CuLT and crew may have had in mind...

There were over 170 people there on Saturday alone, and this is for something that wasn't even advertised that much (mostly viral word-of-mouth information). The guys did an amazing job at the event organisation, from programmes to bags to badges to t-shirts - kudos to the EirtaKon 2005 team!

The UK satellite TV station Rapture is due to return today. Of interest to us anime fans is that they plan to show 2 and a half hours of anime each week (two series AFAIK).

Wiki Ireland Tutorial / Weekend Plans

Posted Sat, 11/12/2005 - 00:19 by John Breslin

Tomorrow I'll be giving two tutorials on wikis, and specifically the Wiki Ireland site (DERI in association with the Galway County Heritage Forum). It's on at 10 AM / 12:45 PM in the Galway Centre for Independent Living on the Tuam Road (beside Travelodge). Saw a nice quote about wikis today, describing them as "collaborative, self-correcting, living documents that evolve to hold the sum of all the knowledge of their users".
