"Here and There in December 2008 Tokyo"

The clock has not been cooperating over the past week! I try to get things done and the clock speeds ahead before I can complete things. This has led to many nights falling asleep on the floor in front of the computer, where I end up sleeping the night half-frozen and wake up more tired than when I went to bed. Next night, repeat.

In spite of this bad situation, I managed to post a couple of new things. First a reposting of the 1991 crush-rush train video, which I posted a second time to YouTube due to there being something wrong with the original file. It would play on some computers, but not others. It seems not to work with the newest (version-10?) Flash player. The new link for this is here:

Then I posted a few photos taken in December 2008, here:

Finally, a short video of driving in Tokyo - showing how many of the streets aren't really intended to handle more than pedestrian and bicycle traffic:

Now to get to work on more things - and get proper sleep at night!
