The technology to release workers from the office and let them work from home is getting cheaper every day. This change in lifestyle will have impacts on the environment and our travel behaviour. This report measures some of the pressures that the switch to telecommuting hopes to relieve. It monitors the travel of a group of office workers Continue reading Let Your Fingers Do the Driving: The Effects of Telecommuting on Travel and the Environment Friday is Friday. Saturday is Friday. Sunday is Monday, and Monday is Monday too. Saturday is the Friday after the Friday on Friday, but Sunday is the Monday after the Monday on Monday. Yasukuni Shrine (Yasukuni Jinja) (literally “peaceful nation shrine”) is a Shinto shrine located in Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to the spirits of soldiers and others who died fighting on behalf of the Japanese emperor. In October 2004, its Book of Souls listed the names of 2,466,532 men and women, including 27,863 Taiwanese and 21,181 Koreans, whose lives were dedicated to the service of Japan, particularly to those killed in wartime. The shrine is a source of considerable controversy. Included in the Book of Souls are 1,068 people convicted of war crimes by a post World War II court. A total of 12 convicted Class A war criminals (“crime against peace”) are enshrined at Yasukuni, although 2 others died before a verdict could be achieved. The shrine’s history museum contains an account of Japan’s actions in World War II, which is considered revisionist by some. Visits to the shrine by cartoon characters have been a cause of protest at home and abroad. The People’s Republic of China and South Korea have protested against various visits since 1985. Despite the controversy, Hello Kitty made annual visits from 2001 to 2006. My response to Chinese Elevator Logic an amusing post on the China: A Pastey White Guy’s Perspective blog. Why do so many people have to press both up and down buttons when waiting for the lift? “Here I am on the 10th floor. I’m going down, better press up too, just in case” “ha ha, it’ve tricked the system, the lift going up has arrived first! I am a genius with chinese characteristics! It’s a bit full, but I shall barge my way in and be right at the front!” “oh my, why is this lift going up, how odd, I press the ground floor button 42 times, but up we relentlessly go!” “Oh dear, now we are on the 15th floor, lots of people want to get in the lift, quickly I cleverly press the ‘close door’ button, but one sneaky one gets in any way, and then he presses the ground floor button 52 times. Why didn’t I think of that? so I press it another 12 times, just in case” “Oddly, the lift continues to go up! I craftily, hit the ground floor button a few times more, but still we continue to ascend, despite my new liftmate also hitting the ground floor button a couple more times.” “We reach, the 20th floor, all the people behind me want to get out, but I know their scheme, I ain’t moving! They all rudely try and push past me, ignorant bastards, so I press the close doors button, but one of them sticks his leg in the gap, so despite the loss of face, I have to let them all push past me, but I still win, because I don’t move an inch, ha, losers!” “15 quick presses of the ground floor button, and my liftmate and I begin to descend at last, but are stopped on the 13th floor, the doors slide open, even though I have pressed the close doors and ground floor buttons over 40 times each. So dubious looking old lady enters the lift and strikes the 20th floor butten with her sodden umbrella. Doesn’t she know this lift is going down? what a dumbass!” “Again we stop. This time we are on the 10th floor. How strange, there is nobody waiting there? Why would the lift stop on the 10th floor, when there is nobody there. While pondering this enigma i quickfire stab at the close door and ground floor buttons 264 times, closely followed by my old liftmate doing the same, and then the old lady throws in a few dozen umbrella stamps on 20, just for good measure.” “At last we reach the ground floor, vindicated I stroll out into the lobby! glance at my watch and see that lunchtime is nearly over, I better hurry to the office if I am going to be back in time for my afternoon nap. I spin round just as the doors slide together, undaunted I hit the up button, better hit down a few times too, just in case!” |
