Boing Boing Guest Blogger

Just to let you know that for the next 2 weeks I will be guest blogging on Boing Boing - the all things cool website thats read by millions and gazillions every day.
See my intro up at BoingBoing - my first post going up in a bit.
EDIT - its up.
Quick thanks to Joi Ito for introducing me to the BB team.
Profile pasted below.
Herro BB comrades! My name is Danny Choo - originally from the UK (London Hackney) and been living in Japan for 10 years now.
Formerly Website Manager at Amazon, Product Manager at Microsoft and now run my own company Mirai Inc which focuses on licensing multi-lingual consumer generated e-commerce web platforms. My full profile and other bits n pieces lives here.
In my spare time I run a Japan Portal at dannychoo.com where I post daily photos and write about life in Japan and Japanese subculture - do RSS subscribe if you want a daily dose of Japanism.
I also work part time for the Empire where I spend most of my time recruiting new troopers. I do this by attempting to "Dance" around Tokyo in Stormtrooper armor to let people know how fun it can be working for the dark lord - you may want to subscribe and see more of my videos at YouTube. I never mention the possibility of getting a Vader Force Choke though.
I'm humbly honored to have been given the most bodaciously awesome opportunity by comrade Xeni to write for BoingBoing. For the next two weeks I'll be introducing you to some crazy and not-so-crazy down to earth daily stuff from the rand of the lising sun.
An example of some recruiting for the empire below.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

What better way to intro yourself than doing the trademark Stormtropper Tokyo Dance! Love it!
By the way, is the word "lising" on purpose or a typo, Danny? ^^;

guest blogging a boingboing is bigtime, major exposure. plus with an invasion of otaku and Stormtrooper silliness will do the BB some good. I quit reading it when they started to take themselves to seriously.
