Blogging is a relatively new media and sometimes you wonder how it all comes together and why people do it. Is internet publishing via a blog forever? Will Lime Kettles be around for all of eternity as some sort of time capsule?
Interesting thought... and how should we use the internet to record history? Well the site below is an example of how the internet is not just for computer games and porn, but rather a way to keep history. The Life of Riley is a blog about 107 year old Olive who tells her stories to the blogger who then types them up along with old photos.
A great idea! See, internet publishing can be purposeful and historic!

Hanzi Smatter 一知半解
We Westerners always like to make fun of "Chinglish" and how the Chinese and Japanese people make odd words during translations...
Now here's a site for the reverse! Bad use of Chinese or Japanese characters for Western audiences. Unfortunately, most of these are in the form of tattoos! So, be careful of what your tattoo really does say!
