Nate V. pointed me to a great article in the Washington Post on blogging culture in Japan and how it’s different than the U.S.
Japan’s Bloggers: Humble Giants of the Web – washingtonpost.com
“Cyberspace and real space are merging in Japan, Ito said. Young people blogging on cellphones are often “co-present” with five to 10 of their peers, as they move through cities like electronically tethered schools of fish.
Ito predicts that in the United States, as mobile phones and wireless networks improve, blogging will, in effect, become more Japanese.”

Perhaps without even knowing it, LUCI lab’s own Amanda WIlliams has a cameo on Boing Boing TV. The video podcast program associated with uber-blog boingboing.net recently did a spotlight on the cockroach controlling robotics of CalIT2 Research Fellow (maybe?) and ACE graduate (maybe?) Garnet Hertz. They used Amanda ‘s photos for part of the piece. A dubious honor, but it counts as part of her 15 minutes of fame.
