David is my brother.<BR/><BR/>Second of all, Neojaponisme always looks fantastic. They made a great graphic for it, and Marxy and Matt really helped me fix the piece. It was a bit disorganized before. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I'd rather it go there next to heaps of other interesting stuff about Japan (that also looks really fuggin good) than somewhere else just because it's paper.<BR/><BR/>I took it as a compliment, though, so no worries.

And Neojaponisme needs slights so we can figure out how to improve ourselves.<BR/><BR/>The secret to Daniel's piece is that... it's basically his senior thesis. That makes all that footnoting easier when they're already sitting around.<BR/><BR/>MarxyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-57174965743501118162008-05-14T19:05:00.000+09:002008-05-14T19:05:00.000+09:00M.A.R.X.Y.:Thank you for asking.

My comment could be interpreted as a slight. <BR/><BR/>My intention in looking with a cocked eyebrow at the long Morales article is honorable. Over the past few months, I have grown concerned at the number of talented writers who have stopped writing for the Web. <BR/><BR/>A difficulty some writers have had is finding the necessary balance between the hours spent producing online material and other, more remunerative pursuits. <BR/><BR/>I solve the dilemma by keeping my writing frivolous and outside the borders of my day job. You solve the dilemma by producing professional quality pieces for clast and J@apan.Inc.--and by being the seeming ringmaster of Néojaponisme (please feel free to smack me down if I am wrong).<BR/><BR/>The Morales piece represents a considerable amount of academic, dead-tree article level thought work...the kind of work one should, if one does not want to get frustrated about writing for the Web, have lined up for publication in a dead tree version.<BR/><BR/>To reiterate, my worry is that good people will cease publishing interesting material online--naught else.MTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626942240117432624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-80307846527488955582008-05-14T18:15:00.000+09:002008-05-14T18:15:00.000+09:00I don't understand what you are saying about the M...I don't understand what you are saying about the Murakami piece.<BR/><BR/>M.A.R.X.Y.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
