Where else than on 365questions could (^_^)365(O_O) be reviewed ?

The Japanese Association of Graphic Designers brings to you on this 2010 new year an online calendar:

365 days, 365 graphic designs, 365 designers. Or: every day, one design, one designer. You decide.

Oh, and this is my 501th post on 365questions. Happy 2010.

Bring out the gimp

Just saw Tarantino playing in a Softbank ad here on TV.

The plot is the following : Tara-chan (short for Tarantino) plays it tough, until his wife calls, on the new phone with embedded speaker from Sofbank, he runs home.

The white dog plays the Japanese father in every Softbank ad, god knows why.

When will Facebook overpass Google ?

December 2nd, 2009

Today Facebook announced 350 Million users. Already Facebook is ranked number 2 in Alexa.

So I was wondering when will Facebook overpass Google in traffic. That day will be a big shock for a lot of people.

Of course it does’t mean a lot, because 1/Alexa is not acurate and 2/ Google is more than Google.com only,  (e.g. local Googles, Youtube and the whole Google ecosystem).

Yet, I would say, based on the trend below, mid 2010, maybe June, Facebook overtakes Google.com.

Here where signs are images, most still mean nothing to me.

After browsing this website, I still don’t know what this company does.

This is how bad my Japanese is.

Learning Japanese is about learning to cope with increased frustration, let me tell you that.

My conversation however is now almost as pointless as in French, which is a good sign. Everyone seems to politely enjoy my inacurate, linguistically wrong little stories. I try to compensate approximate syntax with a double dose of pathos and grotesque.

The Japanese always respect it when you’re trying hard.

I should be learning some kanji now.
