Via Peter Payne of J-List:
"Japanese net users are also very creative when it comes to making art with ASCII that expresses emotions and adds character to computer-based communication. A few months ago someone made a BBS post called "Sorry About Baseball" that was a tribute to his mother, decorated with extensive ASCII art. The post was picked up by other users who added music and made animated versions using Flash that have many crying in front of their computer monitors. It's the story of an uneducated mother raising her son alone, despite being very poor."
Peter has a daily list-thing you can get through e-mail or a feed. Skim through the new products part and read his observations about Japan.
Anyway, have a good night, kids.
See you in the morning.
