From Japan to this page to Google to the world...

Some of you might remember Ober Dicta's investigation a few months ago into the weird and wacky world of the Japanese promotion of an ISP called Hi Ho. Today I was contacted by one of the organizers of the gotoAndPlay(); Flash Film Festival who asked for permission to reprint some of OD's information and translations in a handout for the festival. Once I got permission myself from Glenn, who did the translations, I gave the go-ahead. There's no link for the 2002 Festival yet, but I'll keep an eye on the page and post one once it comes up. It'll be fun to see what they're showing, and I'm happy to play even a small part.

Thus have I suddenly been elevated from Hi Ho Enthusiast to Hi Ho Intarnet Pseudo-Authority. That's right, friends, post on the Net long enough and you too can become an Expert!
