For those who would like to see all of my photos in one spot, I have created a page titled “My Gallery.” At the moment I am feeding all of my Japan photos to that page from Picasa. Also, check out “My Journeys” for a link to a Google map of where I am.

Shower toilet hand control
Let me begin with an apology. You did not expect an article on toilets, I know. But after Nagasaki and Hiroshima, I decided to interject some humor, some levity, before I address issues about which it is impossible to laugh.
The Japanese know high-tech. But of all of their technological contributions, nothing comes close to their bathrooms.
Here is my first example. I travel constantly, and probably spend 100 nights or more annually somewhere in some hotel working on some project. Among my pet peeves is the bathroom mirror that fogs after I shower and before I can shave. Invariably I am scrambling for a dry towel, then trying to wipe away the moisture before it reappears. Of course it fogs again as soon as I place razor on skin.
