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…

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!

Otaku blogger Danny Choo has created this video showing food he ate at restaurants in Tokyo over the past year. Pay attention to his company for almost all of these meals… Some of them are sushi, but I envy him almost all of the food here. It looks delicious. I really want to go back to Tokyo now… Fun project!

Here is another video from a sushi conveyor belt. “Watch the people’s reactions as a camera makes the rounds at a local sushi restaurant in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan.” It almost feels like you are getting a sneak peek into something too private. Peoples expressions are so naked. Fascinating!

A good introduction into the Japanese names for different types of sushi. And a glimpse of how cool equipment they have in Japanese sushi kaiten sushi bars.
This is something within the sushi tradition that I am actually against. Ikezukuri (生き作り/活け造り) is live fish being caught, sliced and served - without being killed. So - you end up with this gaping fish on your table looking at you… It is not for me.
