What do they share in common?  You'd think you'd stepped into a time machine that has shot you back to the Web's pre-commercial days?  Mosaic, NCSA, Marc Andreessen?  There are no fancy graphics. No flashy animation. No banner ads. There's hardly even color. It has all the appeal of an elementary school mimeograph. And that's by design. Stay true to its original "populist values” that draw people together. Online communities change over time.  Simple and fast is good,  Craig Newmark agrees, because it makes the site easy to use. This practice will help people make life easy. And provide a culture of trust, one that's very useful and very effective.  "Ostentation and ornamentation are disdained as vulgar, and simplicity and understatement considered as signs of sophistication (Zen)."   Prajna. 円融三諦  Are you addicted or rapidly tumbling toward trouble?  > SJSU Japan Club < CURRENTLY INACTIVE? トラブルが生じた場合の責任は サンノゼ州大、外国学部は一切負いませんのでご了承下さい。 少欲知足                                 Drugs are bad for you.         ✿ exercise2min   multi-task3min   Sleep well   Sleep well13min     Stay healthy!    internet& Productivity12min     Create stress-free environments, Brian Do not rush through life, pause and enjoy Japanese music @       Ejoy Japanese through (Karaoke) songs?  ♪♪♪♪    Self-practice https://genki.japantimes.co.jp/self www.csus.edu/indiv/s/sheaa/projects/genki/kanji_main.html www.manythings.org/japanese (beg-adv) Teach yourself Japanese www.youtube.com/channel/UCbYgZlPI3VyIIfuT6YNI-vg/videos    verb conjugations / grammar      ALL THE ENDEAVORS OF THE TEACHER WILL FAIL TO INSURE SUCCESS  UNLESS YOU PREPARE WITH DILIGENCE AND CONSTANCY THE EXERCISES TO BE GIVEN IN CLASS. 教師と の緊急電話 連絡は ( 650.355.6221
