At what age/stage do we look at and act towards kids as independently and fully thinking humans?

The Japanese Office

木曜日, 5 月 29th, 2008

I got hooked on The Office since I’ve been in Taiwan, which I watch at hulu.com via VPN. Checking for a new episode the other day, I found this clip from Steve Carell on Saturday Night Live this past weekend: The Japanese Office.

I’ve been a fan of the SNL Digital Shorts since Lazy Sunday, but this is absolutely something else. It’s a brilliant piece of cross-cultural parody. Many on the associated Hulu page had some questions, however, so I decided to write up a little explanation of what’s actually going on in this short, and why I love it so.[^2]

@bpick Congratulations! Btw, it’s The Association of Teachers of Japanese… they’re just based in CO. Sounds more special that way. :)

Looking into doing ling next year—being a “research student” is surprisingly cheap ($4000/yr), but if I don’t have income, that’s hard.

Oh VPN, where would I be without you? Somewhere without hulu, I guess.

@ejenk Funny, I was just reading some other clustering stuff on his blog the other day. Did you know he was my first gf’s TA at Harvard?
