Late night web tinkering…

(nerd post)
I wrote this after staying up way too late (something I very rarely do), so it’s not Shakespeare.
I exported the files from the old Official Nipponster Blog (blogger) to a new wordpress I am working on.
The new wordpress installation is for a new Nipponster Laboratory. This one will give me a place to showcase new experiments and will link to the Nipponster group on JapanLabs.org (more info) to allow users to discuss the experiments.

Exporting the blog from blogger.com to wordpress was not easy but I managed. But then I noticed that some of the videos and other media didn’t export…

The labs site’s theme is very minimalist. That was on purpose. I like simple (like Craigslist). I might customise it a bit later. But I need to create a better logo for Nipponster first.
Japanlabs @ JapanLabs.org

(slow news day 
. actually I am busy with little projects here and there)
I bought the domain name JapanLabs.org to use for the JapanLabs social network over at ning.com.
Japanlabs.org has been set to redirect there so you can use that. Seems easier than entering japanlabs.ning.com
Stealing “Borrowing” ideas from the non-Japan-related web
On August 23, 2008 in JapanLabs
TED.com has to be one of the most interesting sites of the web (at least to me it is).
43things.com (connecting with people who are trying to do the same thing as you).
What if we did something similar for the Japan-related Web?
These are the types of projects we might be able to collaborate on at the JapanLabs
Can you think of other sites with features that would be cool to have on the J-web?
I’m sure we will come up with completely original ideas too.
Let the Mad Science Experiments Begin, Muhahahaha!

Announcing….
“The Mad Science Laboratory of the Japan-related Web!”
I promise you nothing. But I am VERY excited.
JapanLabs is a place where people interested in the “J-web 2.0″ can brainstorm new Japan-related projects and experiment.
It is built on an excellent Social Networking Platform that makes collaboration simple.
Benefits To You:
- Get feedback about your website from people who know J-websites
- Find people to help with that new project
- Interact with like-minded people and stimulate your creative juices!
How those benefits are delivered:
- Groups - start a group for your project or interest. Then you and other interested people can discuss it in the group forum.
- MyPages - see what your lab-mates are up to, their latest comments/contributions.
- Events - share and stay aware of important dates on the J-web (like the JapanBlogMatsuri deadline)
- MainPage - keep up with the latest activity of the JapanLab community.
- Forums - forums focused just on J-web development and brainstorming! A first as far as I know.
Well I’ve hyped it up too much already,
