"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.
The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)
It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.
And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?
Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.
Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.
Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!
魔法の絨毯でどこへでも飛んでいける。
そしてどんな場所でも瞬時に見ることが出来る。
そんな未来のサービスがGoogle様から登場している。
その名もストリートビュー
アマゾンのA9.comが前にやった車にカメラをつけて全国を走り回るという非常にローテクな情報収集の方法だ。
プライバシーの侵害など問題も多そうだがGoogle様にかなう相手はいないかもしれない。。。
↑いま、まさに魔法の絨毯に吸い込まれていく様子。
At Vox, we believe that change is a good thing. After all, you wouldn't wear the same t-shirt day in and day out, so why should your blog have to suffer the same fate? Give your blog a new look with one of our latest themes (found under "New"), or pick from any of our hundreds of themes designed with your passions and personality in mind.
Until then... Enjoy!

自主企画商品を自前生産して自身の店舗で販売するという発表がされている。ミネラルウォーターから始めるそうだ。
流通業とメーカーとの境目がだんだんとなくなってきている。
釜山に住む知人からメールが入っていた。
ある「問題」について至急話をしたいから電話をもらいたいという。
電話してみるとその問題は「竹島問題」だった。
今、韓国では日本の教科書へ竹島が記載されるという報道で
「そのことは日本による宣戦布告ととらえる」といった論調で報道されている。
普段理性的で物分りのいい彼女であるが、周りの影響もあってか、かなり熱くなっている模様だ。
歴史の問題というのはお互いの主張が違う場合、互いに一歩も引くわけにはいかない。
引いてしまえば「押せば引く国」というレッテルを国際社会から貼られてしまうからだ。
そのことは彼女も十分に理解している。
国際社会が納得する解決方法はやはり国際司法裁判所に判断を委ねるということだが
それには韓国内では「日本がロビー活動で有利にすすめるから無駄だ」という意見が多いらしい。
とりあえず、まずはしっかりと勉強をしなさいと言っておいた。
日本語の能力は私以上にあるから、日本で過去の文献などを紹介しているサイトをつぶさに見て
その上でどちらの主張が正しいのか国籍を離れて一度第三者の目で見てほしいと伝えた。
日本に対してはやはり一度負けたという思いが強く、だからこそ日本が有利な状況は許せないという心情になりがちのようだ。ただ、韓国や中国がそのような心理状態のままであれば、日本はいつか我慢の限界を超える日が来てしまう。
その萌芽が見られるようになってきた一つが竹島問題なのかもしれない。
難しい国際間の歴史問題を解決するのには何が必要だろうか。
愛だろうか。

Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
Do you live in or around Cincinnati, Ohio? If so, you're in luck because Scott and the Queen City Voxers Group have organized a Vox user meetup!
WHERE: Ault Park Playground. 3600 Observatory Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45208. "We'll look for each other at the playground marked by the red X below. If it's raining, head for the shelter to the north of the [red] X."
To RSVP (which is not essential, but is appreciated), reply to Scott's announcement or send him a private message. All Voxers, as well as their friends and family, are welcome to attend.
If you do attend the meetup, have a great time and please take lots of pictures and send them to me so I can post them in Team Vox for everyone to see!
Thank you so much to Scott for organizing this meetup. Wish I could be there!
Although almost every day at Six Apart is Take Your Dog to Work Day, Friday was extra special because it was the official Take Your Dog to Work Day! Plus, as lovers of blogs and animals, we think it's great that active blogger and Human Society's President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, thinks having dogs around the office is a good reminder of "who we're working for."
We realize some people have it ruff and aren't lucky enough to be able to bring their dog to work, but hopefully these pictures taken at Six Apart last Friday will get your tails wagging... And let me tell you, it's harder than it looks to get all the doggies and their fetching owners in one picture.
絵画販売の仕事もぼちぼちと進んでいるが、画材店とのコラボレーションが出来そうでいよいよロケーションフリーな仕事が出来る環境が整ってきた。
絵画の制作は中国のアモイで行っているのだが、そこから栃木の会社へ絵画を送り、そこで額装と包装をしてもらって指定の場所へ配送をしてもらう。 絵画のできばえの確認はEmailで行うので、当社の役割は顧客とのコミュニケーション及び発注先への顧客の意向を翻訳して伝えることなどだ。もちろんWebサイトのメンテナンスなども必要だ。
バックヤードの仕組みが出来上がってきたので、マーケティングに割ける時間が増えて、よりいっそう営業活動がしやすくなってきた。写真素材を油絵に変換するサービスであるから、葬儀屋、写真館、ペットショップなど様々な業態との協力関係を築いていければと思う。
仕事の仕組みを作るのが仕事な私はこれからもいろいろな業界で新しい風を吹かせていきたいと思う。
