Thanks Dr Worden for your comments (and excuse the delayed response here). I’m glad that I’ve been able to show you another way of how computer technology is being used in book publishing. Self-publishing, from the blog to print-on-demand services, is potentially as revolutionary a move in the capturing of the written word as Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press itself. Today, anyone can be a publisher. The issue is more being able to capture audience attention when there is a massive over-supply of the written word.

As for the range of writings you can find on this site, I tend to flit from subject to subject and genre to genre far too readily. I’m happy that this repository at least seems to give some coherence to it all though!

Thanks for writing a comment on my essay on digital publishing and book-selling. Your comment prompted me to look at your short-story page and your first book (very nice, btw). That is to say, I learned of another variant on how computer technology is being used in the industry. What strikes me most from surveying your site is the multivalient nature of it–meaning that you are able to bring more than one genre of writing to your site–tailoring your site differently to each one. For instance, your short story is on a web-page, whereas your book is linked to your publisher’s site, where people can preview the photos. At any rate, I will reply to your comment in my comment area–the least I can do. Thanks so much!

Glad you liked the song Hide, and yes, it’s a lot more catchy than the Control K stuff! If you’re interested in trying to sell more copies of that material, do let me know. I understand it’s selling well on iTunes Japan at the moment…

It’s goooood! I’m pleased when I listend to the “end game”. It’s also preferrably catchey…I can sell more copies if I have an opportunity than … It was also good, but a bit difficult for non-music professionals….sorry… Anyway, I’m glad you live in your way there.

Thanks Shimpei – glad you liked the song. If all people were more relaxed, there should be fewer wars. But as there are still too many reasons for people not to be relaxed, the work continues!

I love it!
I think the song is really good in order for many people to get relaxed.
And I guess that would make wars stopped.
Keep up the good work : )
