HIROMI KIM JOURNAL

In Japan, there is a culture that feeling cool by eyes and ears. For ex. Fu-rin is a Japanese wind-chime, a summer tradition, brings you nice and cool feelings in a hot humid day, and Japanse cuisine dish up using ice or green leaf etc. I would like to send you this summer card taking the cool air by the image of the world sea above. I collected various seas from the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific, the Mediterranean Sea and the deep sea. Enjoy color variations of the perception that the sea, light and the air combined.

Enjoy your summer!

There was a competition for copywriting in japanese.

Copywriting is the use of words and ideas to promote a person, business, opinion or idea. Although the word copy may be applied to any content intended for printing (as in the body of a newspaper article or book), the term copywriter is generally limited to promotional situations, regardless of the medium (as advertisements for print, television, radio or other media). by Wikipedia

I interested in joining the competition. 340,000 copywriting applied, and 6,500 copywriting selected for a fist stage. It was only 2%. I entered in the 2%! But I couldn't go advance anymore... It is in Japanese, so it's difficult to show the First Prize Copywriting, but it was nice experience, and good exercise for my brain.

The first readings from American data-collection flights over the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan show that the worst contamination has not spread beyond the 19-mile range of highest concern established by Japanese authorities.

But another day of frantic efforts to cool nuclear fuel in the troubled reactors and in the plant's spent-fuel pools resulted in little or no progress, according to United States government officials.

Japanese officials said they would continue those efforts, but were also racing to restore electric power to the site to get equipment going again, leaving open the question of why that effort did not begin days ago, at the first signs that the critical backup cooling systems for the reactors had failed.

The data was collected by the Aerial Measuring System, among the most sophisticated devices rushed to Japan by the Obama administration in an effort to help contain a nuclear crisis that a top American nuclear official said Thursday could go on for weeks.

Strapped onto a plane and a helicopter that the United States flew over the site, with Japanese permission, the equipment took measurements that showed harmful radiation in the immediate vicinity of the plant -- a much heavier dose than the trace levels of radioactive particles that make up the atmospheric plume covering a much wider area.

Jeffrey G. Lewis, an intelligence specialist at the Monterey Institute, a research center, noted that the Japanese assessment of Reactor No. 4 at the Daiichi complex seemed to depend in part on visual surveillance by helicopter pilots.

Among these confusing situation, I think we need correct data and information, and think by self and do to act. Instead of being at the mercy of Media, it is important to use it.

4 days passed since we had the earthquake. I am stunned by the new report images, videos and the information every day. It is a kind like to see a natural menace and human powerlessness. Besides of the earthquake and tsunami, now, Japan is facing the fear of radioactive contamination. I don't have words to show thanks to people who are working in the stricken area and the nuclear reactors. I think that it is a trigger to rethink the fundamental social life.I urge us, everyone, to take this as a moment to reform our consciousness.

I send my deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones and home town in the earthquake and tsunamis.

TikTok+LunaTik MultiTouch Watch Kits for iPod Nano from Scott Wilson on Vimeo.

Creatives are looking toward Kickstarter as a way to fund their projects. What is Kickstar?
Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors.

Kickstar believe that...

• A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide.
• A large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands.

The site makes it possible for individuals or groups to fund an album, finance a documentary film or publish a quarterly magazine by soliciting backers online. This creates a huge incentive for project creators to really put a lot of thought into their project and to offer appropriate rewards for pledges.

A Kickstarter project called the TikTok+LunaTik has gone to reach $491,489 -- far more than its initial funding goal of $15,000. Since then, the project has gone on to raise more than $450,000, making it the most successful project in Kickstarter's history.

There is a Fashion Fund Raising Community "FashionStake" too. Finding fund was neck for creators, but Internet changes the world.
