Ah well, another website design by me, my first corporate one, and yes, this week it went online. Englishlanguageworks is the language course site of David Maytum (based in the Netherlands), and not only is he a nice guy, he excels in his job too. Check it out for yourself.

Hullo, you are right (you, as in all the others), it's a fair assumption this blog is dead. Temp job boy has taken over most of my mindset these last two months. I guess it was inevitable. Sometimes when I look at him, steelnosed in greasy jeans, boldly parading the killing fields of a dreary job (he is trying so hard), I just can't be surprised he is this big a presence; too tired, too numb, too frustrated to do anything else, least to follow his/my original (creative) plan, I only can sympathize with this poor little sod 8 to 5 victim. No wonder he rather volunteered for invisibility, cruising the streets and his whereabouts with a mask of unnoticeable uniformity.

“It is just easier for Japanese to hide,” Ms. Tsukioka said. “Making a scene would be too embarrassing.” She said her vending machine disguise was inspired by a trick used by the ancient ninja, who cloaked themselves in black blankets at night. (from the NYtimes)

That is another way to put it, shame/fear should be restrained, and never (how Zeitgeist uncool, eh?!) let out in public. Kudos.
