Instead, I might go the Japanese way and post a photo of my lunch with the comment, "I ate this for lunch".

This doesn't bode well for me. I figured if anyone could handle the time sink of a blog it was you. If you are scaling back I wonder if I can really handle DailyJ. But I know you have a billion or so other things to manage on the web so it is understandable. Glad to hear that JapanSoc will be a main focus though. You have done so much for the J-web community. Otsukaresama! uh oh.

No need for an iPhone, though, since I'm always at home anyway.

There's lots of good WP plugins to get both working back and forth with each other .... of course, an iPhone helps with the mobility of it all ... blogging while forming the stool sample is very possible.

I also find that I have learnt a lot about you I didn't know even though I am your Mum. Please don't cut them down too much, I shall miss your blogs Nick, as they are always so interesting and entertaining.
