Typhoon No. 16 (Chaba)
31Aug2004 Filed under: General Author: michael…is closing in fast on us here in Kumamoto (in Kyushu, Southern Japan). I’m stranded here now that all flights have been cancelled, and have joined the rest of the familily to await the storm, which appears to moving right for us. Outside the trees are being whipped into pennants, and before long they’ll be bending at the waist. Looks to be a fun ride!
denbushi?
Congratulations on finding my personal blog. It's been around in various incarnations since 1997, which is before blogs were called "blogs." See if you can top that.
My name is michael, and denbushi (電武士) is the now-dorky-seeming online name I made up back when I thought (ever so presciently) that some kind of unique nickname for the interwebs might be handy. Just for the record, it IS unique (even today!) except for this jujitsu variant/dojo in Puerto Rico which co-opted it without even asking me. If I had to cage-fight them for exclusive use of "denbushi" chances are good they'd win. But I'd still do it.
These days I live in Tokyo and mostly use my real name. A few years ago I founded a design and marketing agency called netwise. We do web and internet stuff. We're pretty good at it.
