– One of the less impenetrable passages of my Iwabuchi reading for the last day of my Japan’s Empire class.
I don’t even know how to deal with the level of pomobabble in this reading.

WatchI may have posted this some time ago, but I just rewatched it and I love it even more. Where is my centrally-hosted, available-everywhere profile? Where is this technology? Where, in fact, is my rooftop farm in the middle of the city complete with plant-identifying computer?
