The Imaginatorium

Guest Book

Welcome to the Imaginatorium guest book. It breaks the barriers of conventional technology by reading forwards, so the most recent entry is at the bottom. (Remember books?) The first part in tasteful grey is copied from the now defunct beseen.com one, "funded by advertising," which should give some idea how effective advertising is on the web. I occasionally prune out duplicates and spam, though for some reason every time I read the Nigerian offer of Real Wealth it makes me laugh, so I left that in.

Oh yes, nearly forgot. Haven't got the email notification working yet, so if you hope for a response, please send me an email as well. Just subject "Guestbook" will do.

I've added occasional comments of my own like this.

Congratulations on producing the best personal page I've ever seen, with
the possible exception of Biff's ( http://www.panix.com/~clays/biff/ )
-- but then of course I might have missed a few, because I'm blinkered.

Right then, where's all the nude beach photography that used to lure me
to your Yomoginous site as irresistibly as a moth is drawn to my brown
sweater, I mean a flame?

The thing you are whining about in your a

article is called emmicropayments/em. For instance, Jakob Nielsen
deems that an a

micropayment system is one of the most needed things for the Web/a.

Loved the site. Sano has been my "furusato" for years now. I was there
first on a student exchange, made heaps of friends, and try to get back
there whenever I can. Great to see photos of the place. Natsukashii.

Just on the topic of your restaurant gallery, my three favourite places
to eat drink and be really drunk are as follows.

Hokkaidoraku - chain izakaya next to Jusco
Yakitori Daigaku - good atmosphere izakaya, accross the road from
hokkaidoraku, near Steak Miya.

But my all time favourite is Suribachi Raamen. It sells the BEST
raamen I have ever tasted, and has in my opinion the best atmosphere of
any restaurant Ive ever been in. If you still live in Sano, and you
dont know where it is, I will gladly explain.

anyhoo

Dear Sir:

I took the liberty of linking your page on the Sano
Plain to the About.com Geography Forum. The object
is to compare this with another fertile flat
agricultural area now used for manufacturing and
port facilities, the Lake Prairie around Detroit.

The URL is a bit too long to provide here, but
the link is accessed on search engines via the terms "miningco"
and "geography", then Forum, then, Geography Education at
the left, then Natural Vegetation Type Gallery,
most recent posting.


Sincerely yours,

Esteemed Sir,

Do you share my habit of ordering books and records from Daedalus? If
so, I recommend Daniel McNeill's *The Face* and *Gravikords, Whirlies -&-
Pyrophones: Experimental Musical Instruments*. The former might even
make it to the Blinkered Empiricist's Bookshelf; in brief, it's perhaps
a little too digressive and long and perhaps slightly less than the sum
of its parts, but there are many parts and virtually all are excellent.

Dear Chandler-san

The Google search engine led me here when I was trying to get some clue
about "English muffins." Oh dear! How I wish I had found your web page
earlier.

I'm a Japanese native and have been a fan of "English muffins," as you
see in superstores, for quite a long time... 15 years, I suppose.

I never thought of "English muffins" when travelling in England, but
one morning in Tokyo while I was waiting for my "English muffins"
toasted, it came up to my mind that when I travelled in England, I'd
never seen them except on a MacDonald's breakfast menu. Strange, I
thought, and started searching the Web.

The Harry Potter American version I think I heard of, and surely a lot
of resources about American-British words and phrases say something
like "Crumpets are English muffins." But I know crumpets are not the
English muffins I know, and the mystery deepened... What was it the
muffin man sold back in the Victorian era? Mrs Beeton's culinary book
tells the muffins of the era is not the ones we know; they use potatoes
for flat muffins! (And for crumpets, as well!!)

Currently my research are going on the forum of my website. If you are
interested, please drop in there. (Your browser need to have Japanse
fonts, just in case.) I think I'm going to put all these together and
post onto my site, maybe in a week or two. Your webpage is very helpful.

all the best

hey there. I just visited your site again and wanted to say that I am
impressed with the developments. It seems that you have been spending
quite a bit of time brainstorming and working at the computer. Keep up
the good work, and perhaps one of these days I will have the
opportunity to join you for your existentialist and beer discussion
group. By the way this is the American teaching at Noah in the middle
of town. Enjoy the slow but painful increase in humidity this spring.

Hi Brian. I have just acquired a loquat tree and I've been looking for
pictures of the flowers. Yours are the best of all the websites I've
visited. I like the name "Imaginatorium." There's something about
trying to grow a tropical tree in the Piedmont that requires
imagination. H.G.
 
Minoru Mochizuki   02/Sep/2001:20:07:32
Hello Brian,

I followed the Qualia query and ended up in this strange
but charming world of yours.

It is strange to me because the only junctions between
you and me are Honyaku and the two languages, which are
ever so imperfect in transmitting thoughts and feelings
causing many interesting understandings called
misunderstandings.

May you enjoy your own existence for as long as you wish
to live.

Minoru
 
Peter Evans the hoary ape 19/Sep/2001:16:15:03
Brian, first off, congratulations on your qualia solution, which I've
only now seen for the first time. (I think I'd previously misread your
link to it as a link to quines, and as I'd just read my fill about
quines I gave your link a miss.)

So, your new opening page.

If the perpetrator of the WTC outrage is indeed the person already named
as US's "public enemy number one", the attack would very likely have
been for at least one purpose: to provoke counter-attacks, which would
produce wide resentment and a world war of sorts. No doubt you find this
"logic" nutty as well as cynical (certainly I do), but it will be
impossible to break out of a cycle of violence without attempting to
understand the motivation (however deranged it may be) of the terrorists.

Terrorism has never changed anyone's mind.

I find that hard to believe. Terrorism is already changing people's
minds, as they turn patriotic (for better or worse), become more
tolerant of limits to their liberties (ditto), etc. As for governments,
Reagan promised that the murderous bomb attack on US (and French)
servicemen in Lebanon would not sway US policy; I forget about the
French, but as I remember a year or two after the attack the Americans
were "redeployed". Of course other reasons were given for this. Which
was the real reason? I don't claim to know, but have trouble believing
that the bomb wasn't a factor.

Anyway, people are now being asked to join a "war on terrorism" -- an
idea that's daft when you think about it, as how can you have a war on a
a method? ("War on bombing", anyone?)

Pardon the plug, but . . . having nothing original to say on 11
September, I've just posted a personal view [really] at

ludo grauls   14/Oct/2001:15:34:53
why do i never read about palestinians killed by zionists with the
support of the US for already 55 years?
could this be the reason why some people hate americans?
i am sure that the terrorists don't hate belgians for whatever reason.
there is no solution in bombing innocent people, or don't you know of
hirosjima and nagasaki? was is neccesary to throw the second atom bomb
or did the us tried to kill as much people as they could for revenge.
revenge is for God my friend.

I like your muffin-page. Very interesting! In my experience (England)
a 'muffin' refers to the flat type wheras the american style, sweet
muffin, is referred to with a prefix like: chocolate-muffin, blueberry-
muffin, double-chocolate-muffin, banana-toffee-muffin, etc.
 
I just figured i would drop by and see what all the hubub was about, not bad. See you got it pretty much squared away now.

By the way, those naturally tiling photos are really cool, i would just feel too guilty to swipe them now...

Great site Brian, you continue to put me to shame :-)

Hi Brian

I've been a fan of your site for some time but didn't notice the guest book until now.
Love the the plant watcher's pages -- always looking forward to new additions.

One thing that I thought might interest you:
In your review of "A Reunion of Trees" you mentioned the Tradescants, father and son, plant collectors from "a century before Linnaeus introduced the modern system of nomenclature, which may be one reason I don't remember seeing "Tradescant" in a plant name."

I can tell you that (ahem) I have a Tradescantia plant growing in my garden. Apparently it's native to the Americas.
For more info on the plant, see for example http://www.stabg.freeserve.co.uk/augpom.htm (with a brief explation of the name).

Dear Friend,

I am Chief Bayo Oloye, the obanla of Ondo, Nigeria,

I have worked for about 35 years and I will retire by

Now, I need your very kind assistance for the transfer
of U.S$50 Million to your account.

Introduction:- This money was found by our Auditors
during our mid year check of the Financial records as
an over surplus having paid all our foreign
Contractors for jobs already done. You will act as the
beneficiary of this money and a percentage of 30% will
be yours compensation for this assistance. This
business is safe, risk free and confidential.

My colleagues have trust in me in getting a Foreign
Account for the transfer of this fund and I intend to
use my own share in investing in your company, so that
after retirement I will not suffer.
Send me the beneficiary’s name, address, telephone /
fax number, Bank name, address, Account number (sort
code if any)

Reply me now, so that I can commence the processing of
the documents and please note that the code word for
this business is BRAVO

Interesting link. "If you are a capitalist - buy used books" he says. Well, if you are a socialist, buy used books too, I would say. (The American Author's Guild trying to stop Amazon from letting people sell their used books on the site.)

Brian,

I never dreamed when I borrowed your photo for our garden club contest (crazygardeners2@yahoogroups.com) that it would engender a connection with you, the producer of this site. What a lovely site it is!

I was rather pleased to see your email in our group, and hope you will visit us more in the future, as I mentioned in my email to you, as we don't seem to have members who are in Japan, and that would broaden our horizons, quite a bit.

The photo of the loquat I borrowed was for our "guess this plant" contest. In Houston, Texas, we have loquats growing abundantly, and I was interested to learn they grow in Japan, as well. Thank you so much for your gracious understanding of the reason we borrowed it. Your email to the club was a delight to read.

Your website is wonderful, and I already have an interest in Japanese Gardens, so I've bookmarked it for future perusal.

Respectfully,

Lyn

Your website is wonderful, wacky and marvellously creative.
I just love it. I am an expat Australian and have built a rice mill in Thailand. Your picture of the rice seedling planting machine is extremely interesting. There is no equivalent here in Thailand in the North East at Khon Kaen and yes its all still done by hand in the blistering heat and humidity. I don't know how they do it I reckon 5 minutes would give me a heart attack.
I would DEARLY love to get more information on that machine. Any help or references at all would be welcome.

Hi, whenever you see a post containing words such as "mugu" or "guymen" or "ndi-igbo" or "lome togo" and "keep off" that means a Nigerian 419 Advance Fee scammer has been here to harvest e-mail addresses and is asking all other Nigerian scammers not to harvest addresses from this guest book so as not to spoil his "business" (as they call their activities of cheating people out of various "fees" needed to release the vast sums of imaginary money that they offer their gullible and greedy victims.

Hi,

We are starting a new kind of photostock site. Are you looking for a way to present your (spare) photos on the internet and earn
money as well for a unlimited period of time? Then you should really take a look at the site "takeapic.com".
This site gives you the opportunity to exhibit and present your photos in a fully independent way. Takeapic.com is a photo stock site, which will be entirely filled up by photographers. On takeapic.com you can edit, upload and present your photos for sale for a fixed price. All pictures will be sold for $25,-. A picture can be sold many times.
A large amount (80%) of the profit will payed to the photographer.
We take care of server costs and money transaction costs. Takeapic.com is still being developed now the site is ready for an upload of photos. The sales section is being installed at this moment but before we present
this online, we first want to be able to offer a good collection of photos.
That is why we are in search of some good photographers to beta-test our site and provide us of good quality images.
We hope you like to join our project.


With kind regards,
Leonard

Brian, it's time to add some more cheapo bunkobon photo books to your list of recommendations -- if you can recommend them, that is. I'd recommend Domon Ken's 'Wanpaku kozō ga ita' and Tsuzuki's 'Roadside Japan'; see http://makeashorterlink.com/?V3DE53DF7 for a vaguely relevant plug.

As for your Nigerian, Togolese, and other correspondents who are so eager to share their millions with you, see http://www.scamorama.com/ladfaq.html

Fantastic site! I stumbled on it by accident, whilst browsing for unusual jigsaw puzzles. I haven't had time to explore the whole site, so I'm still curious about certain basics, such as who you are, and what you are doing in Japan (assuming you are in Japan). I will definitely bookmark and come back.

I have loved browsing Brian's site ever since finding it while searching for higanbana.

Lots of things here to keep one busy for many delightful hours.

My favorite bits are the photography, being an avid shutterbug for close to forty years.

Please, Brian, keep us occupied with your pastimes.

Tokyo, Japan - 2004-09-09 (Thursday)
Hi Brian,

I really like your site. Are you Japanese or American? Your name sounds American, and I thought I saw where you first attempted to translate Japanese writing. I guess I'm confused,lol. I think your site is great, and the pictures of Japan are awesome. I read your thoughts about Sept.11 2001. I just want to share my opinion as an American(a friendly opinion..no animosity intended). First of all, I made the same statement to my husband when Bush Jr. called the terrorists cowards. I think they were wrong, and their govt. consisted of brutal, unethical, sadistic bullies, but cowards...??? I was thinking...damn the cowards are braver than me...I wouldn't crash into a building and die without freaking out, and trying to change my mind,lol. I don't agree with the statement that Americans are arrogant, however. I don't think America is simply one thing or another. We are a melting pot of many beliefs, religions,races,etc. All of the melting pot of American groups(businesses,races,laws,religions,etc.)contain good and bad. There are mostly really good people here, but we also have liars, arrogant jerks, murderers, priests who are pedophiles, and unfortunately, the President is not so great right now. These things are part of the price of freedom. I don't think the majority agree with Bush, and or want him in office next term or this term even. He didn't even get the majority vote when he was elected, he pretty much just took the presidency. We chose Clinton over electing Bush Sr. for a second term. We were fed up with Reagan/Bush.(12 years....2 terms of Reagan 1 term of Bush). Bush Sr. was also vice-president under Reagan, so it's pretty much back to the same leadership we were fed up with. I think this reign of ignorance with the Reagan/Bush admin. has gone on for so many years it has given us a bad image. We didn't have all this trouble when Clinton was president. The republicans slandered him, but I think he was a great leader, communicator, negotiator,etc, and he represented the heart/soul/thinking of the American people more accurately than Bush does. Bush Jr. recently got booed out of NY City when he went there to rally supporters during the Repub. Natl. Convention. There were so many protesters in the streets they feared a riot, and the streets had to be policed. Also, I watched a show last night(talk/opinion show), and the mention of his name(not insulting him-simply the mention of his name)caused the whole crowd to boo. He represents us right now, but that doesn't mean we are all arrogant or supporters of Bush and his war. I'm afraid of what might happen if he gets the majority of electoral votes and wins this next election. It could cause a major upset in our country. It would definately cause major distrust/disrespect, and possibly an uprising. I really don't think people really understand Americans. We really desire to be fair, to have world peace, and to live ethically, but I think we are sort of like a child, so to speak, when you consider how long ago our country was founded. We are still growing/maturing as a nation. Oh boy, I hope people don't take this wrong...it's just an objective opinion...I love my country. Japan goes back to around 300 BC. England, Italy, and others go back to the Roman Empire. There were issues between the US and Japan during WWI and II. Japan felt they were treated badly, and wanted an "equality of races" statement added to the covenant of the League of Nations, and they wanted control of the Pacific Islands. We didn't go along with adding the equality of races statement. America has made mistakes, and have hurt others in the process of becoming a country, but no country is without mistakes or bloodshed. We had also just fought a civil war 50 years earlier. That may have caused race issues to be a little scary for the USA. We are actually just now getting some of the race issues solved within ourselves, and still have work ahead in that area. We believe in freedom and equality of all, but we are still immature. We won't be able to achieve what's in our hearts until we have time to mature. I know that Japan is one of the nations that we admire, and look to for knowledge in business, health, and more as we mature. I was just learning about Japan and TQM in my last college course. We also believe in the equality of women and men, and have felt hurt and disrespected by Japan's rude treatment of our business women, but when we first dealt with this we took measures to respect and accommodate that belief. Americans truly believe in respecting everyone's personal beliefs, religious views, etc., and we believe very very strongly in freedom. That is what we are really about. Of course, there are going to be the idiots that take advantage of the freedom we believe everyone has a right to, but we have to tolerate them....until they get too stupid...then we incarcerate them,lol. Ok this is way too long now, but remember we look to Japan and other countries on our path to maturity....so don't be so harsh with us just because we are young and we have an idiot for a leader, lol. We are maturing;lend us patience and support.

Ah! An old Yamatonian. No, I have nothing to do with www.brianism.org, though it's an amusing notion. Here's a really interesting (if long and boring) page, in which Lord Denning, no less, grapples with the task of deciding whether X (in this case scientology) is a religion or not: R v Registrar General, ex parte Segerdal and another

After a long search, I finally found your site. My granny used to say, that you must never give up to reach a certain aim.
So keep on going like I did it recently.

Dear Brian,
I am a tree lover and would take pictures of trees that are new to me or fascinating in appearance. It is in search of information on Gingko tree that I came across your web-side. It is such a wonderful site I don't have time yet to go through it all - I think I will find more precious gems in it later.
At times I have chances to visit Japan on business trips and last week I have been to Gifu for 3 days. As usual, I took pictures of the Gingko tees in green and yellow colours. I observed that most of the road side Gingko trees have their leave bilobed(i.e., splitted at the middle)and they seem never bear "fruits", as I couldn,t pick one so far on the side walks under their shade. I assume they have purposely been planted as males, lest the road would be filled with stinky smells.
On the other hand, near an on-sen hotel in Ge-ro, I found a big Gingko tree having leaves with complete fan-like profile dropped on the ground like a blanket. To my delight, my first time ever, I found "fruits" on the ground too. This prompted me to speculate that male Gingko leaves are split and female ones complete. Is this the case? As I may not be able to come across Gingko trees during the "fruit" bearing season and even so, may not have chance to find more fruit bearing trees to verify this. Please shed light on me.
One more thing, I am a native Cantonese speaker and would like to point out that our pronounciation of "duck foot" is something like "ap gerg" with both abrupt falling tones. (It is hard to describe the tonal values of our dialet in words.)It is not i-chao after all. "Pakgor" (or "bakgor")in your text for "white fruit" is native Cantonese.
Warm Regards,
K.Y.Ko

What, it doesn't sell pr0n?

A jolly Christmas and a hippy new year to you, Sir.

How about getting into the (non-pr0n) book biz? I noticed just two days ago that there's a two-volume bunkobon edition of Tsuzuki's Chintai Uchuu: rather like his earlier Tokyo Style but bigger, more varied, and more interesting. Despite its excellent English translation (by Birnbaum), a quick google doesn't show up any obvious attempts to market it outside Japan. This seems a shame.

If you do sell the book, you might have to add a warning that the hoarier of readers may need a magnifying glass, or at least reading specs. The type is awfully small (as it has to be, again making me wonder why the publisher bothered with English as well as Japanese).

Another bit of bad news is that this is pricy as bunkobon go. But these are two fat volumes, full of interest. I think they're easily worth the price (and have already bought two sets, with plans for two more).

Ha ha! For technical reasons, that doesn't really work, since it was only a gateway to the Perl script, which I'm not getting involved in (I speak PHP). But anyway, there are various schemes, it seems, whereby humans are prepared to spend the time making plausible comments just to get a link posted.

I love jappanse things just come back from japan after climbing Mt Fugi brillent place

Great personal site, just like the last poster said. Well done. And I like the spam preventer - I might try to figure out how to implement it myself.
