From Round to Square (and back)

For The Emperor's Teacher, scroll down (↓) to "Topics." It's the management book that will rock the world (and break the vase, as you will see). Click or paste the following link for a recent profile of the project: http://magazine.beloit.edu/?story_id=240813&issue_id=240610

A new post appears every day at 12:05* (CDT). There's more, though. Take a look at the right-hand side of the page for over four years of material (2,000 posts and growing) from Seinfeld and country music to every single day of the Chinese lunar calendar...translated. Look here ↓ and explore a little. It will take you all the way down the page...from round to square (and back again).
*Occasionally I will leave a long post up for thirty-six hours, and post a shorter entry at noon the next day.

[a] Individual and Society RF
可飛ばせ, 川口!
Let 'er rip, Kawaguchi!  OR
Fly to base, Kawaguchi!
—Common Japanese baseball chant
(Kawaguchi is a common surname, like "Anderson")
And Japanese professional baseball players will let 'er rip (and fly to base) long after my time at Round and Square is up.

And that will be today—right now, even.

So how can you keep up with the most exciting baseball on the planet?
[b] Ongoing RF

Well, here are a few good places to start.


Japanese Baseball 1

Japanese Baseball 2

Japanese Baseball 3

And I won't be far away. I'll pop in every once in a while, along with my friends Liam, French Bulldog Pup, Roll Tide Guy, and Lederhosen Pug.

I am now a member of the RSQ Columnist-Emeritus community.

[If you don't read Japanese, but want to have some sense of the Japanese kana and kanji in these posts, just copy the phrases and paste them into translation software such as Babylon or Google Translate].
