What Our Man thinks


Yeah, yeah Our Man's been ignoring the "inform" part of his public broadcasting duty to entertain and inform you fine freeloaders clicking here instead of doing some work or helping some Haitians. Well, here it is a Blog of the Week that surely every right-thinking Japano-expert already knows, but for you newbies out there, have at it - the What Japan Thinks blog. Our Man had been reticent to link to it also because:

a) he doesn't believe in polls
b) he doesn't get the long explanation of numbers and such at the beginning of each post
c) everybody with a blog about Japan has already linked to it
d) he couldn't give a toss about Japanese ball point pen usage.
e) he forgot about making it a blog of the week which he meant to do ages ago.

And then this great post appeared and he could fight the urge no more. Arise Sir Ken Y-N, good Blogger of the Week.

Oh hey, howja like the funky new logo?

Oooh oohh, LATE BREAKING NEWS - HE'S BACK - THE ONE.

I once worked for a company that conducted various types of polls for large corporations. Conducting a good theoretically accurate poll that gives some sort of information hopefully related to what you want to know is time consuming and requires a lot of actual thought.

Times have changed though and things have become simpler as people have become smarter. Now we have telephone polls of 603 people in a country of 300 million to to get an accurate understanding of the political thought of the moment. And even better are Internut polls.

Can't understand why know why Our Man doesn't believe...

The 3oo million referring to the US, of course. I can never post anything correctly the first time.

"can never post anything correctly the first time" is how Our Man got where he is today.
