I whipped up an OS X widget to display the five most recent top stories AND allow me to submit new stories to JapanSoc directly from my Dashboard. I tried to keep the colors consistent with the actual site as well. If you are a JapanSoc member, or looking to be one, maybe you’ll find some use for it? (SUBMITTED VIA WIDGET!)

So, um, how does one find his/her rooms.
And do they come gaijin-size?...That's not very surprising to me. Almost comparable with American society.
This is one of the best...That's precisely what I thought myself, but given that the powers-that-be have zero...This isn't your typical boarding school, though. It's where they send the worst...I'm guessing he only passed the million dollar barrier because the dollar is so...Labor Day. Nov. 24 was Labor Day....What's this? Eating Yakinikku, drinking Asahi Super Dry, and living day to day on...Done and done. This is one of those easy topics that won't require divulging all...

Thanks for this Deas. I've never even touched a Mac, but it seems they're popular with foreigners in Japan. You've got me thinking about making a Google gadget to follow this up. I've read that it's possible to make gadgets that fit into iGoogle, Google Desktop, Google Toolbar and can be embedded into any webpage. I've played around and got a simple gadget working on my iGoogle page (with tabs to switch between top and upcoming stories) but there's still a long way to go. If anyone reading this has experience in making Google gadgets, talk to me!
Another option is a Windows Vista sidebar gadget which I'd also like to have a go at.
No problemo. I'd love to get tabs functioning in the widget too...but it is currently beyond me. I'll figure it out eventually. Ha ha.
LongCountdown - Not just amongst foreigners in Japan, but in Japan in general! The percentage of mac users in Japan is strikingly different than in the States or the U.K.
Deas - Nice addition to the Japan-blogging community. I commend you.
Nice work Deas!
Works great on my iMac.
