Japan: I am Isolated in My Workplace · Global Voices
“The Internet can be a saving grace if you’re isolated in your school or workplace.” - This was a remark from my recent interview with Izumi Mihashi from Lingua Japanese. I was reminded of it when chancing upon a poignant cry in the form of an anonymous blog entry [ja]. Bullying doesn’t stop at the schoolyard.

The Obama presidential campaign was an innovation in American politics and American design. For the first time, a candidate used art and design to bring together the American people—capturing their voices in a visual way. The Design Director of the Obama campaign, Scott Thomas, has collaborated with artists and designers to create Designing Obama, a chronicle of the art from the historic campaign.

one take impromptu film made in Tokyo by Dennis Wheatley and Stefan McClean.
We were sitting in this sushi bar pondering how best to set up a camera to film things all by itself whilst we were in Tokyo.
Take our hands out of the equation... let the camera have its own journey.
I'd taken a cannibalised record turntable with me from the UK with the idea of filming slow panoramas but it was painfully bumpy and stopped every minute.
Then we had our eureka moment and filmed this.
A few years later I was working on a piece of music and married the two together.
The music is all about that feeling when you're half asleep in the sun.. the ambiance of foreign voices becomes a lullaby to dream away.

Global Voices in Italiano » Gaza/Sderot: Israele e Palestina insieme in un video
by srcmax (via)
Il progetto Gaza/Sderot: Life in Spite of Everything [in] [Gaza/Sderot: vivere a dispetto di tutto] non è che uno dei principali esempi di come i media online possano gettare un ponte tra differenti culture e visioni del mondo. Il progetto, realizzata da ARTE.tv [fr], stazione televisiva culturale franco-tedesca, ha seguito la vita quotidana di dodici persone residenti da entrambe le parti di un confine segnato dalla violenza, riproponendole su un sito web per dieci settimane fino al 23 dicembre scorso. I video, della durata di due minuti ciascuno, raccontano alcuni momenti della vita di sei abitanti di Gaza, in Palestina, e di sei residenti di Sderot, in Israele, dall'altro lato del confine, nell'arco di due mesi.

If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger,<br>There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats: The Art of Travel #21
"And, of course, that is what all of this is - all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs - that song, endlesly reincarnated - born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 - same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness." -- Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather

Generally, in that group, there will be one or two loud voices. Maybe an Alpha Male or two. The important thing to note is that this is a small group. It will be difficult to reach common ground with a small amount of people.
ouch... that is my daily job.
