    Hey, ho, nobody home – A Japanese Version of Rose Red AKA Rose, Rose, Rose (round)

    December 9, 2019 /

    I was watching a video of my son Max’s choir group back home in WA performing “Rose, Rose, Rose” (a kind song known as a round, where one group starts off and the next group start to sing the same song a bit later, like “Row Row, Row Your Boat”), when a certain line hit me: ” Still, I will be merry…. “ I was suddenly transported 25 years back in time, back to one of countless nights spent around a bonfire in the cold hours before sunrise, high up in the mountains of Japan. My friends had taught me a Japanese folk song, a round with a catchy part…

    Google Maps to Rule Them All

    November 21, 2019 /

    I think that Google should be pushing Maps into social media harder because it currently controls the majority (the number I’ve seen recently is ~70%) of the online map market, but is getting undercut, mainly by Waze. For Thailand, outside of urban centers, Waze is complete trash (as are all other competitors except for dedicated GPS systems like Garmin). Plus, there are already 30 million Local Guides worldwide according to Google. This is a step in the right direction: Google Maps tests a social networking feature with the ability to ‘follow’ Local Guides Full disclaimer: I am an active Local Guide If Google Maps would integrate the user-contributed traffic and…
