JAP2501 Term Paper on Hayao Miyazaki
This semester I took the somwhat extracurricular (in the sense that it's not part of my study program) course JAP2501 - Japanese Popular Culture. This course had no final exam; the final grade was given through the submission of a term paper on the topic of your own choice.
I wanted to write about the Japanese animator and director Hayao Miyazaki, so I elected the following study question:
What are the central themes of Hayao Miyazakiʼs films, and how are they presented?
I've chosen to share my work with the entire world, so if you'd like, you can read my term paper here. Feedback is, as always, appreciated.
Update (2009/06/22 21:48): Final grade: A! :D

Four clever bookmarklets
I've always thought that using bookmarklets is a clever way to quickly get the info you need. Here, I've created four bookmarklets that I find quite handy. To use then, drag them to your bookmarks bar.
Update (18:34): Here's one for YouTube as well:

Buypass Class 3 CA 1-v2
If you ever need the Buypass Class 3 CA 1-v2, you can download it here. In addition, if you ever need the Buypass access (CSP) application, you can download it from buypass.no or if that file disappears, grab my cached copy of it.
They'll probably hate me for publishing this, but information yearns to be free, right?

Google: All sites may harm your computer
Most of you might've seen the "This site might harm your computer" message once in a while. Apparently, Google's been stepping up the fight against malware:
