I finally got around to porting over most of the media files from the ol’ server, and had almost forgotten one of the best mash-up albums of all time – PopChop! My PopChop page (link also in the sidebar) now includes a flash-player for you lazy bums so you can listen to each tune immediately.

Seriously – who would have thought Missy Elliot and the Cure could sound so good together? Now I can’t wait to see an MTV video mash-up to complement the tune.

I couldn’t believe it myself. After rolling my own setup for years hosting this blog I got fed up with the nitty-gritty configuration-tweaking and security concerns in the extras like WebDAV, https, and emails in addition to efficient backups. Dreamhost has some pretty remarkable deals, all with a user interface even a luddite could decipher. Setting up your own presence on the web has never been so easy, and it’s no wonder there are so many internet startups able to test out ideas before studying the business model for viability. Where are these services in Japan?!

I still need to export the posts and comments from the old blog and get them imported here. And this design – it’s kinda bland, but I’ve got a web-designer friend in mind so it should be getting spicy over the next few weeks. In the mean time, you can briefly catch up on me and enjoy the static page on visiting Tokyo if you’re considerin’ a trip out this way.

It took me a while to join the blogging brigade, and I definitely wasn’t expecting to hit this mark in less than 6 months. Thanks Chris! (This of course does not include the numerous and annoying penis-enlargement and flame/bashing comments that I have had to remove :/)
