There’s no doubt about it, God is a Sony employee.

How else could this miracle have happened? The miracle that is the release of Sony’s Alpha100 Digital SLR camera.

And ofcourse, I’ll get 10% off with my Yodobashi Gold Point card, then I might get it tax free as well, being a gaijin, possibly…

oooohh I’m so excited. How am I expected to concentrate on this article, “Is Japanese Capitalism Post-Fordism”, with the A100 on my mind…?

[UPDATE]

oooh, that review, I didn’t realise it was 6 pages long. Oozing sex all the way through…

Mind you, that piece on Japanese management turned out to be really interesting. never buy a car from Toyota, that’s all I’ll say. Worse than Vietnamese sweatshops those plants are. Same goes for Nissan. Lean production? Management by stress me thinks…
