Maybe I need to work on my pronunciation.

I felt that an elderly person would have a tough time being able to read the phone number on the back of the card or negotiate this voice-activated menu. If the system doesn't understand right away, users should be transfered straight to an operator. Don't you?

Which reminds me, when I lived in Japan, I was required to carry an "alien card" outside of the house, and also that last November a police officer checked my passport for no reason whatsoever in Narita International Airport (in Tokyo).

There are so few foreigners trying to move permanently to Japan that protests about such matters rarely reach critical mass.</description><link>http://chriswanson.com/diary2.aspx?id=169</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:35:36 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Whiskey Man Band blues ja...</title><description>Whiskey Man Band blues jam at the Westwood Brewing Company in Westwood, CA on September 11, 2010.

I have been listening to his news analysis segments on NPR since..maybe I was five years old or so. His voice went from slightly husky to somewhat husky, but seemed like his reporting was a permanent part of this universe. 

NPR ran a ton of clips from interviews with him in his memory today, and there were all kinds of charming anecdotes. 

He certainly was from another age--Somebody who was very up front about his journists code of ethics. Not a lot of that going on these battle-of-the-sensational-news times.</description><link>http://chriswanson.com/diary2.aspx?id=145</link><pubDate>Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:35:26 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Me cell phone is on the b...</title><description>Me cell phone is on the blink, actually not blinking at all.

It's chili oil called "rayu", for putting in sauce for dumplings and things like that. Well, this brand of oil is super popular in Japan, and has a great name%3a "Karasoude Karakunai Chotto Karai Ra-yu", which means something like, "looks spicy, not really spicy, but is kind of a little bit spicy chili oil". Apparently some bloggers over there spread the news about the product and now its selling for a huge premium and flys off the shelves anyway.
