Slushpodding



Another day, another amazing new technological innovation! This time it's 'slushpodding'. Are you stuck with a handheld audio device in a town full of slush? Then make a slush blog and slushpod it! Here's mine, nearly live from Hakodate, Hokkaido.

I enjoy your audioblogs and look forward to more in the future.

I also enjoy nattou.

It's great to be able to type this while listening to you making your around town.

I adore natto. The fact that you don't is a very good defence if people ever accuse you of being too much the Japanophile.

A suitably contemplative space to play sound? How about sticking some speakers in one of those kobans? It's not as if they're doing anything in there except eating katsudon or something.

E-to-

15' 50" into the file, completely un-self-consciously, you say "e-to..."! I laughed my arse off with recognition when I heard that. One can tell you've lived with Japanese for a while. Kawaiiii!

you weren't kidding about the amazingly phallic squid sake bottle! I like how its orange is reiterated in the shovel above.

the office, not the band

from: http://www.engine-globe.net/curi/curi_html/getup.htm

" ...as our officespaces have to become more human.
A good example is the flexible officeconcept of the Dutch insurance company Interpolis.
Having about a thousand staff mostly teleworking outdoors, on the road or at home, the character of the main office in Tilburg inevitably was changing.
Losing its function as workingplace the mainoffice developed into a meetingplace, combining work-related activities as discussions, meetings, lunches next to working situations in a traditional sense. Instead of an office, Interpolis likes to call it a small innercity for their people, comparable to similar earlier developed officeconcepts."

The Poster?

So, I'm dying to know... Did they go back to the old poster design? Can we see it? Can we see both the new and the old???

Gamekeeper

This place looks like a garden shed ! Appropriate I guess. The greenhouse feel of the Art Harbour is somewhat ironic in this context. Hope you can put up with the coldness and melting ambient sounds which sound oppressive. Your appearance is somewhat like an avant gardener/game keeper ( all you need is gun to deter poachers! ). Will we see the return of the "Grump" audio blogger once you have settled in to this spartan existence ?

I have listened to this twice, and I still love it. I feel like I am there. I look forward to more of these.

It sounds like your first impressions of Hakodate are not very positive. I wonder if you've been to Motomachi or the peak of Hakodate-yama yet?

With regards to your comment that downtown is the past and the modernist campus with it's young students is the future: unfortunately, you may have it backwards, as you can read in this recent article on Japan's looming demographic crisis.
