Fujita vs. Thompson

I bumped into a video of MMA.
This is really exiting and shows the lesson that you should never give up.

Fujita used to be one of few heavy-weight Japanese MMA fighters who could compete with fighters of other countries. I don’t know who’s the next generation.

The Royal Tenembaums

I haven't updated it for a long time. I'd like to start it again to improve my English writing.

I watched “The Royal Tenenbaums”. I watched it before, so it is actually the second time. To be honest, I almost forgot what I felt when I saw it at the first time. I felt it much better this time. I might have become more mature to be able to understand what the good point of the film is. The loneliness of Royal was the key point for me. He tried to be funny, positive and humorous, but he’s lost his family and there must have been loneliness. This film seems to be about compensation and forgiveness.

Designers don't only draw anymore

I had an opportunity to talk with a director of a design consultancy. My question was how people who have business background can contribute in the agency, and he explained there are so many tasks designers are not good at. However, my impression from his answer is that designers are not just involved in drawing anymore. They need to think about experience of users and it is also true in terms of branding. Some other classmates are interested in branding, so they ask him about branding, then he told us that no one talk about branding itself, but experience.
