Priceless Information  

This is Ian's piece of web. See it go. Go, weblog, go! Go travel in Asia. Go study in Tokyo. Go home to Portland. Nah, what the hell. Go, study in Beijing.

Stop. I am a student studying Chinese language in Beijing.

I started this weblog in the Summer of 2002. It keeps following me wherever I go. But, I'm glad to have the company.

Thanks to Clifton for hosting Domodomo. If you need a flash or website designer, you can do no better.

WarBlogging and LitterBlogging

I went war-biking last Saturday in Urawa, my home town. War-biking is just like war driving but waayyyy slower. It was pretty sad. After an hour of riding around in circles, I only had four access points to show for it, and all four were protected (had WEP enabled). All I want is a cafe with wireless and a no-smoking section near my house. Give me that, and I'm a fish in water. Seriously, only four? It really surprised me, I thought there was something wrong with my PC. Driving from Urawa to Akihabara (I was a passenger, naturally) I found over 200 networks, about 80% of which were unsecured. Well, Akihabara Urawa ain't.

Not finding AP's gave me some time to think. Assuming I can find some APs I'd like to start warblogging. No, not Warblogging I want to start a blog on which, each and every single post is done from a new access point. Never post from the same access point twice. I think it would be a cool experiment, though a little heavy on the, erhm, effort side of things.

I had another blog idea, litter-blogging. Usually I don't have an idea for blog entries sitting at a computer. And if I do, they are usually my crappiest entries. So, often times I'll write an entry down in a notebook and type it in later. This is really a kind of 'virtually live' blogging. The last blog entry I wrote (not posted yet) was written between two train stations. I took a digital picture and called it a live blog. I'll upload the picture along with the post, when I'm actually able.

The point is, it's interesting to bridge the virtual and real world. Maybe, wherever I old-school blog, I will leave a sticker that says: [DomDomo Live Blogged at 14:00 mm/dd/yy http://www.domodomo.com]. I would just assume leave the entire blog entry where I made it (post it to a trash can with some scotch tape?), but unless I made two copies (or maybe wrote on carbon copy) I would have to re-type the blog into my computer on the spot to save it for later upload to the internet. Which is really too cumbersome to work. Hmm, maybe the carbon-paper idea is doable though....
