This video uses an unusual filming technique, where the camera is attached to a frame worn on Blunt's upper torso and is focused on his face throught the entire video.

このビデオはとてもユニークなフィルム技術を起用している。カメラがブラントの胴体に付けられていて、彼の顔にフォーカスを置いている。

Apple Get a Mac Ad: Choose a Vista

There are six or seven versions of Windows available, but Steve Jobs always emphasizes Apple only sells one version of Mac OS.

Windowsでは6つか7つのバージョンを市場に出していますが、アップルではスティーブ・ジョブスの方針により、Mac OSの1つのバージョンしか販売していません。

I'll try most food, but this...

I look for the strangest item on the menu and order it when I am traveling abroad. The other day I had a frog dish.

This evening I was in a small alleyway of stalls in beijing (right behind the modern mall; a little like quincy market in Boston) with lots of food stalls. Many had shish-ka-bobs of various types. Chicken, beef, squid. While you would have difficulty finding them in the US, they aren't too strange.

Then I looked closer at the selection: starfish perch un-geometrically on the skewer, and sea horses proudly there. Then I noticed what looked like cocoons. Sure enough, silk worm cocoons as large as the last knuckle of my thumb. Next to them were beetles of the same size. I didn't take a picture because it felt too much like uncouth gawking nat having purchased and eaten some. But walking back out of this alleyway I found something I had to photograph: scorpion shish-ka-bob.

No, I didn't eat it to assuage my feelings of voyerism. I just clicked and ran.
