About Me
- Name: Jun Okumura
- Location: Japan
After graduation, Jun Okumura promptly entered what is now the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and stayed in in its ecosystem most of his “adult” life. Along the way, he had pleasant stops in an assortment of Japanese quangos (Japangos?), overseas assignments and government agencies. After thirty years, though, it dawned on him that he had no aptitude whatsoever for administration and/or management. Armed with this epiphany, he went to the authorities and arranged an amicable separation; to come out, as it were. He is completely on his own IYKWIAS, but he and the METI folks remain “good friends.” He currently holds the titles of “visiting researcher” at the Meiji Institute for Global Affairs (no, that MIGA) and counselor at a risk analysis firm that dares not speak its name. This gives him plenty of time to blog or make money on his own. His bank account says that he does too much of the first, and insists that he do more of what he calls “intellectual odd jobs”. He wants to be paid to write fulltime, or better, talk—where the easy money is—but that distinction has largely escaped him. He really should not be referring to himself in the third person; he is not that famous.

Jun,
We've decided that you still have way too much free time; time that is now spent with your wife or on human interaction. And your favorite blogger is batting his eyes some of the other boys on the block. And all this is so wrong.
So in order keep you glued to your screen, out of your wife's hair, and witty enough for attention, we recommend the following:

Thanks, guys.
You know what's disturbing? I think that I've seen Sparkle Pony before, though I can't be sure because I've been too busy going through this to find out.
And the Japanese taxpayer thinks their money is being wasted...HA!

So that's why there are so many dangerous elephants and randy donkeys in the White House.
Hey, do you think they'll let me sit on their laps if I became a Junior Park Ranger too? The twins, of course.
In our peripatetic quest to keep you on top, we submit this:

They definitely have something to learn from the patriotic fervor of our military PR team here, here, and here.
