I’ve been thinking lots about it, and decided to write this post.

Foi por acaso que encontrei o livro de Héctor García – mais conhecido como Kirai do blog KiraiNet – Um Nerd no Japão.

Resumidamente, é um livro essencial para todo otaku, nerd que gosta do Japão ou vai para o Japão, tem interesse na cultura moderna japonesa, ou simplesmente quer aprender além do clichê passado pela mídia tradicional.
Vou elaborar um pouco mais a seguir…

It was by chance that I found Héctor García’s (aka Kirai from KiraiNet) A Geek in Japan.

In short, it’s an essencial book for every otaku, geek who likes Japan or is going to Japan, is interested in modern japanese culture, or simply wants to know more than the average cliché that’s always on the traditional media.
I’ll elaborate some more after the jump.

If you didn’t watch Inception just yet, do yourself a favor an do it!

I’m making this post to share my own conclusions about it, so please be advised, it’s almost pure SPOILERS.
And even if you don’t mind it, I’d suggest you don’t read it and try first to reach your own conclusions before reading this.
But if you already watched the movie, I do recommend reading the post to compare your conclusions with mine, correct me if I’m wrong, or just try to analyze the movie deeper… it’s what I liked the most about the whole movie.

Dunno if I made this clear enough, so I’m just posting to say that I’m still making my daily news selection.
You can read them by either:
- Getting a Twitter account and start following the XSpBlog’s Twitter account
- Checking once in a while the Recommendations page here on XSpBlog
- Use the public feed page automatically generated by XSpBlog’s Google Reader account… though it’s kinda messy.

Don’t be afraid or get in the f* car if you see the above on the Twitter profile or other pics – it’s just me.
Just figured out it wasn’t worth rewriting every piece of interesting news I picked everyday, if I could just point them out like this.
Blog will be used… quite rarely unfortunately… for when I produce my own content.
Thanks to all readers out there!

Mais de mês que não escrevo nada… é que ainda estou decidindo o que vou fazer com o blog.
Mudanças drásticas no formato virão.
Mas enquanto isso, estou escrevendo para avisar os otakus brasileiros que neste domingo (talvez no próximo) teremos Danny Choo no Fantástico!

Pra quem não conhece, Danny Choo pode ser considerado o embaixador internacional dos otakus no Japão.
