Happy Birthday Naoko!

In honor of Naoko’s birthday, which was yesterday, here’s a photo of her that I like very much. It was taken in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, in December of 1998. Details: I used a Lubitel twin-lens camera, and Fuji Astia 100 slide reversal film, which I then had cross-processed as negative, hence the strange colorization.

Movable Type comes to Japan

Well, the creators are, in any event. Ben and Mena Trott will be in Japan starting this Wednesday (January 15th), and there will be a Movable Type users gathering hosted by Joi Ito and Neotony. RSVP form and more information here. I work nights so it’s doubtful I’ll be there, but I should take this opportunity to welcome them to Japan and thank them for their software. The best $20 I ever spent!
