My friend Derek has just started a new blog which already looks multilingual (he is putting me to shame for not daring to post here in my bad written Japanese and Chinese). I love one of his lines, “Even if I posted a comment on slashdot, it would only be drowned and unnoticed among the flood of inane comments every post gets on slashdot. This way, my comments will instead be drowned among the thousands of inane personal blogs, like this one.” Also to check out: Sayaka has some great recent postings related to Taiwanese politics on her blog.
