Steve Wilson took his Sushi Robots out to dinner. Sushi Robots demands that we all “Eat More Sushi”! He also made a short video with them:
June 18th are the International Sushi Day according to a Facebook group, so then we just have to believe that.
“Every day should be Sushi Day, but like anything that is this amazing, it deserves a day unto itself. Minimum requirement for the 1st Annual International Sushi Day: Eat Sushi. ”
I am embarrassed to say that I totally forgot it, so I have not had sushi today, but that only means that one of you US people need to have a bite for me.
So, roll with it!
Happy Sushi Day!

For you LOST fans out there, this bento artist have made something fun for you. I have not watched many episodes, so a lot of the clues here are lost (!?) on me. The maker of the website “Adventures in Bentomaking” is a 29 year old mom of two living in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is a huge fan of the series, she has even met some of the cast members. She also seems to be an avid autograph hunter and gets the actors to sign a photo of the bento they themselves appear in.
Adventures in Bentomaking has been featured here before, her bentos are stunning. Here are some of the in total 11 beautiful bentos themed Lost. Enjoy!

A follow up story on the sushi robot. Trevor Corson says he has “obtained internal video footage that was not supposed to be made public, containing part of an interview with the new robot’s chief engineer in Japan”… Be afraid, be very afraid…

I feel like the world is desperate in trying to make sushimaking go faster, be more efficient. Is this just the normal strive to try to make things better? Do all of us want sushi to go faster? Anyway. Here is about a quarter of a sushi chef - introducing the “Sushi arm”…

Kate Perry seems to be really into sushi! She performed at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan wearing sushi under her special designed kimono.
The leotard embroidered with rows of sushi was a big hit, and the glittering California rolls seemed to amuse the fans at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, north of Tokyo, who reached out as she danced in front of them.

Every website with some “self respect” have their own fan page on Facebook… Really. Preferably made by fans. Or at least someone from your staff. Well - I don’t have many fans, and no particular staff to talk of - so I had to make the fan page myself. 
So - now we have one! [insert Juhuu sound effect!]
Now YOU have a chance to prove me wrong - that SOD has fans. Check out our little facebook home and become a fan today!
Trevor Corson is a fan already. And Eugene Ciurana! [insert Juhuu sound effect again!]
That should be enough name dropping.
Come, come.
It’s a nice song with a good title… The making of it is impressive though. The YouTube Mosaic Music Video is a digital piece of art that was made from 1.4 million tiles, and thousands of unique YouTube video stills. It is an original, interactive video of it’s kind, and maxs out YouTube’s annotation editor. The video’s official release date was April 21, 2009. It took them over 1 month to privately annotate the videos before publishing it publicly!

Another attempt at re-inventing the wheel and the Japanese bamboo mat in making maki sushi. For the fun of it we pretend to like it, because it is such a silly looking sushi roller machine. It is made by Germans by the designers from studio Osko + Deichmann. It will showcase in June at the Kitchen Ecology Exhibition in Los Angeles.
Here is one celebrity we might not necessarily want among us; Dick Cheney has come out of his man size closet - as a sushi lover… The US News reports:
“Dick Cheney has given up “undisclosed location” as his official address. In fact, as his friends, family, and associates tell us, the former vice president is stepping out and enjoying it. As with his old boss, former President Bush, who’s been photographed taking out the trash, Cheney has embraced the freedom of being a “former” without all the demands and overwhelming security force. “He’s just enjoying life,” says one friend.”

Another one from Jeff and Jean. This time they make something called Pokie Salad with hamachi. Looks easy and delicious!
Bodylicious X and Bodylicious Y are pieces of ceramic plates made by the Japanese designer Hiroshi Tsunoda. It was according to his website inspired by Nyotaimori, a tradition where food is presented on the body of a naked woman (and much sought after here on SOD…).
