Here’s some shots of my cactus. I know some of you have to be experts. I need some help. The first shot… this plant. I don’t know what it is. Is it even a cactus? It’s sitting on the window sill, and you can tell that the leaves (or whatever they are) are growing well pointed away from the window. Even smaller branches are coming off of it. Meanwhile the part that’s in the sun seems to be doing worse. This is a cacti right? Next pic is of an aloe plant. I think window is an ok place right? Pic after that. These two seem to be doing alright. I think. Next one: I don’t know if the plant on the right is ok. The “leaves” seem to be falling off little by little. some of the flowers at the top are dead and dried, but some are fine. It’s been replanted, and it looks ok, but the “leaves” thing freaks me out. They fall off and dry out. The cactus on the right, I think is fine, but will I know if it’s not? next photo: I think they’re fine. The plant on the left grows white cobwebs on them. Is that good? It’s not a spider, right? It looks like cobweb. The middle one is my fave, it looks good and seems happy. The one on the right, I think is doing ok. Then that stringy thing just popped out and it looks like there’s a leaf or someone on it. WTF is that? Last photo: The plant on the left… that little thing, I have no idea if that’s happy or not. Is it? The one in the white pot… it was green, but now the tips are red, perhaps from the sun. Is that ok? Cactus are in the desert, so sun is alright, but these seem to be like domesticated or something. Their maintenance seems high for plants with low maintenance. The big question. How often do I water them? I’ve heard once a month. Then I read the little tab that comes with the plant, and it says to water when the soil is dry to the touch. Does it rain every day in the desert? The soil dries up after a watering in a few hours. It’s dry. What do I do? Water it again? I have no idea if I believe the expert who wrote that little tab? Which means “water every day” since the soil is dry every day, or do I not?

I’m going to appeal to anyone who reads this. When you make a podcast, what are you supposed to do with it, to get people to listen to it? We put it on the podcast blog, that’s on the link to the front page. I figure if it’s a blog, people can subscribe to it, and so forth, but really, that doesn’t seem effective. So, with the work we put into these, which really isn’t too tough, but the fact that they do seem decent when I listen to them again… what do we do with them? This photo shows what it looks like when we podcast. On top of the computer monitor that’s an ipod with a recording device. It works, it’s not great, but it’s fine. We do this in the quietest room, which is the storage area and it’s pretty decent. The only noise you hear is the ipod itself. Check em all out at this link.

See the making of Dehara’s ad for Asics. It’s a short film. Our man Dehara needs more love like this. Yukinori Dehara and Asics make a good team, don’t they? In my opinion, Dehara captures the feeling of pop culture Japan with his art works. Thanks to Nao Wrecks for the heads up.
