…is that now JPGs can infect and destroy your computer. It was just a matter of time, I suppose. First there were the server exploits, then macro viruses, then remote execution via HTML email, then “malicious” web pages, and now… naughty images. What are Microsoft systems going to be vulnerable to next, loud noises? (”I don’t care if it’s Aphex Schwinn, turn that goddamn music DOWN!”) I think they should fire that army of programmers and hire one geek that can write ten lines of code without embedding an unchecked buffer in there somewhere. I mean, COME ON, GUYS. Do I have to buy a friggin’ Mac now or what??
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.
