Short description and the most impressive works. Other pictures and descriptions are at flickr. I never care about 10% people who benefit by civilization, 1% of abundant among them, or luxury 1% of them. Alienated disbilities, elders, or people around the world, they are my client. I want to make something for them.

liters of clean and potable water. rolling the water in a cylindrical
container, rather than lifting and carrying it, eases the burden of
bringing water to those who need it
: Brilliant. If endurance sovled, it would be the great. Many people in Africa spend lots of time and labor to carry drinking water.

my sketch while listening and seeing James's talk. From the center like a spiral getting bigger clockwise.
Actually, I'm a big fan of Throwie, but I didn't know he is the ITP graduate. His works were awesome, especially, in terms of influencing other people to enjoy the moment by using simple technologies.

I sometimes go to Washington Square Park to see dogs. There is a dog's park where New Yorkers bring their dogs.
 
 
There is also a playground for small puppies at the park, but I didn't take pictures since I prefer bigger dogs.
 
 
Yeah- a real spring is coming, sunshine is great but little bit still windy out there.

Funny, but somehow persuasive political broadcasting of a candidate for governor of Tokyo. I translated this with my feet.
original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccwpbsJsWvM
A candidate for governor of Tokyo
Independent
Toyama Kouichi
(narration)
A candidate for governor of Tokyo, independent, Toyama Kouichi, 36 years old.
Becoming an activist of the heretical extreme left after a campaign of anti-government education, he is an anti-establishment intellectual who was imprisoned on a political offense recently.
Here is an political opinion of Toyama Kouichi.
(a political opinion)
Voters, my fellows! I am Toyama Kouichi, My fellows! This country is the worst! A political reformation or something reformation, I have completely no interest in that kind of thing! It's not an easy phase that solved by reformatting this and that!
There is no other way rather than throw this kind of country away! Perish this country now!
I don't have any single constructive suggestion! Now just "SCRAP AND SCRAP!" smash everything!
Fellows! I despise you fellows! This worthless country, the system of it... who have supported them are you fellows! Exactly speaking, a majority group of you are my enemy!
I'm appealing to a minority group of you fellows! Fellows of the minority group, now is the time for you to unite and take an action. They, majorities, are do anything they like! It seems our society is about to be made we minorities are hard to live in.
The minority fellows! If you think something will be changed by election, that is a huge mistake! From the first, such an election is a festival of majority! There is no more crazy thing than an election for us, the minority. If it's decided by majority rule, it's obvious majority will win.
Well, why am I run for? Because I don't have enough time to tell the story, please see posters on the bulletin board. There are two types of posters so don't miss either one.
I can't stand anymore about opression to the minority of this country. The minority fellows, there is no way to persuade the majority group. The majority group never listen to the minority.
This stupid country ruled by the majority should be perished! It's useless whatever the reformations are performed! Now, progressing various reformations are anyhow just for the majority!
We minorities don't have any hope to them and, of course, don't cooperate with them! We already desire nothing from this sort of country. The only option we have is that... just destroy this country! Shortly, overthrow the government!
The minority fellows!
Using this chance, don't you think we should proceed the dreadful plot of overthrowing the government together. There is an contact point on the posters... whether it's during the election or after... please give me a call...
Of course! under age fellows who don't have the right of vote and fellows out from Tokyo are all ok. From the beginning, the election is no mean for us, the minority group.
Finally, I say this in advance. If I win, then they will be frightened, I will also be frightened.
A malicious vote for Toyama Kouichi!
A jealous vote for Toyama Kouichi!
Otherwise, don't go to the election!
Anyhow, nothing will be changed by election!
ps. here is the English subtitled version of this video.

I visited my cousin who lives near Washington D.C. during the spring break. I left NY at the dawn on Thursday. On Wednesday night, my neighborhood was noisier than usual. I could hear sirening police cars and ambulances. At the early morning on Thursday, while I was heading to the subway station, I saw the yellow police line and many police officers on the street. I didn't know what it was.
Here is the news about the case of the night.
http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=8&aid=67730
Four men died in my neighborhood because of the shootout. It was just about one minute from my apartment.
<Using Google Maps API: http://itp.nyu.edu/~yc581/ajax/googlemap/1.html >
Coming back to my home at 2AM, there was no difference from the days before the murder case. New Yorkers as well as travelers were enjoying the Saturday night.
