When I am writing this blog (JPN 00 PM Aug 29, US EST 11 AM Aug 28), enormous hurricane “Irene” are passing over east USA including New York. I hope disastrous damage would be minimized.
Incidentally I was also impressed inexcellent website of The New York Times. Not only so plain advices and articles for people, but also building twitter in the site so that people can get the earliest matters. It must be one of the reasons for most leading newspapers.
