A-Bomb Dome

April 30, 2009 · 41 comments

You can only really understand the devastation that hit Hiroshima by going there as i suggested a few weeks back. The A-Bomb Dome was one of the only remaining structures that survived, if only partially.

In the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum there’s a scale model of Hiroshima before and after.

A-Bomb

Widespread destruction with only several buildings still standing.

Stop Motion Animation

April 23, 2009 · 7 comments

A week ago i saw a fantastic example of stop motion ( a technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own) on Kirainet which was yesterday followed up with reader Dave Lee sending me in a clip of his.

I wouldn’t have the patience for this sort of thing but i do like watching it.

Tiny Tokyo Apartment

April 22, 2009 · 23 comments

I saw this tiny Tokyo apartment yesterday on Akihabara News and it got me thinking, if i had to live in this sort of apartment i wouldn’t be living in Japan.

I can understand limitations in the size of the apartment you live in due to cost so in that case i’d move further out and commute a bit more.

For my way of thinking, if i lived in this apartment i would be out EVERY night of the week thus spending a lot more on entertainment and so on.
