Photo: a spring-time gathering in Kyoto, Japan. Turning rice in the mortar, with a tipsy man in charge of the pounder (wooden mallet in foreground) requires bravery, care, and just a little less wisdom than usual. I have not seen anyone hurt yet, though it must happen sometimes. Ouch!

Comment by Peter J. Bury on August 3, 2009 at 10:04pm - I'm interested in utilization of mobile / sms for development, particularly in the field of allowing citizens to monitor government services (e.g. water and sanitaiton services) in rural areas. Anyone experience that may be relevant?

Creating the Research Cooperative has been a kind of sharing out of my life experience, a way to overcome my isolation as a non-Japanese speaking resident in Japan, and also as a kind of stress reliever. I like being able to think creatively about something useful for research, without having to justify every step as I do when using public research funds.
A million frogs are calling, out in the rice fields tonight. They all agree. I am sure they do. Apart from them, we don't have many members here on the social side!

I think world over stress in work and in social responsibility forces people to sought for serene somehow. I believe sharing out at acceptable level might be handy and pain reliever. That is the reason I choose to join this group and will try to persuade others to do the same.
Who is the other member.

About adding photos
We recommend adding just a few images of particular significance. Illustrators, for example, can add images to create a portfolio linked to their profile page.
