In case you missed it — and I’m sure many of you did — a funeral of sorts was held in recent days. It seems Sony has decided to stop production of the Walkman, a part of 80s culture which, quite frankly, I didn’t even realize was still being sent down the assembly line. How many teenagers today have ever held a Walkman in their hands or put the larger than life headphones over their ears. Certainly none would admit doing so since it certainly looks no where as cool as the Ipod does. [Full Story »]

I’ve always loved Halloween not only because it’s my birthday but because it’s just plain fun to dress up and be a little spooky once a year. During my year in Japan, I learned that the Japanese do not celebrate Halloween, though there was enough Western influence that the kids in my junior high school were aware of the holiday, and I did see a few decorations here and there.
